>>> from abc import ABCMeta
>>> class S(metaclass=ABCMeta):
...   __subclasses__ = None
... 
>>> issubclass(int, S)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This is the result of missing NULL check for 'subclasses' in _abc__abc_subclasscheck_impl (Modules/_abc.c):

    /* 6. Check if it's a subclass of a subclass (recursive). */
    subclasses = PyObject_CallMethod(self, "__subclasses__", NULL);
    if (!PyList_Check(subclasses)) {
        PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, "__subclasses__() must return a list");
        goto end;
    }
