The commit for issue #11133 omitted a part of the patch that checked whether the __dict__ attribute of metaclasses are shadowed. That makes it possible to trigger code execution in the case of metaclasses that have metaclasses.

Attached is a patch with a test and a fix.

Andreas, is this still needed and valid?

As the test demonstrates, it's still possible to trigger a dynamic lookup without the patch, hence I think this is still needed and valid, yes.

I updated the patch to make it reflect the latest committed changes.

New changeset 8f33758df19a by Michael Foord in branch '3.2':
Metaclasses with metaclasses with a __dict__ descriptor can no longer trigger code execution with inspect.getattr_static.
