This results in a fatal Python error and interpreter crash. ## Details ### Root Cause The vulnerability stems from improper handling of callback references when the Channel object is destroyed: 1. When a DNS query is initiated, pycares stores a callback reference using `ffi.new_handle()` 2.

When c-ares attempts to invoke the callback, it accesses freed memory, causing a fatal error This issue was much more likely to occur when using `event_thread=True` but could happen without it under the right circumstances. ### Technical Details The core issue is a race condition between Python's garbage collector and c-ares's callback execution: 1. When `__del__` is called from within a c-ares callback context, we cannot immedi...
