From b7b514b90551adb20ed5d33f095e87a94b8ff459 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rachel Lu Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 16:04:03 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] AI-2138: fix bytes_to_read buffer size for Python 3.14 Fixes pyinvoke/invoke#1070. On Python 3.14, fcntl.ioctl rejects undersized mutable buffers (cpython#144206). `bytes_to_read()` was passing a 2-byte buffer to FIONREAD, which writes a C int (typically 4 bytes). The same bug was fixed for `_pty_size` in #1038, but `bytes_to_read` was missed. This worked by accident on <=3.13 thanks to CPython's 1024-byte static copy buffer that masked the size mismatch. CPython 3.14 tightened the check, so `Connection.run()` from a TTY-attached process on 3.14 now crashes with SystemError: buffer overflow in `handle_stdin`. Fix: pass a 4-byte buffer (`b"\x00\x00\x00\x00"`) and unpack as a signed int (`struct.unpack('i', ...)`) instead of signed short (`'h'`). Tests: tests/terminals/test_bytes_to_read.py covers: - buffer passed to ioctl is 4 bytes - result is the int parsed from the 4-byte C int - FIONREAD returning 0 is correctly handled - non-TTY fallback still returns 1 Test runs: - New tests: 3/3 pass - Full non-pty, non-runner suite: 774 passed (no regressions) - Pre-existing pty/runner failures in this sandbox are env-specific (no real TTY, no /dev/tty) and unrelated to this change Fixes pyinvoke/invoke#1070 Refs: AI-2138 --- invoke/terminals.py | 10 +++- tests/terminals/test_bytes_to_read.py | 75 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 83 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/terminals/test_bytes_to_read.py diff --git a/invoke/terminals.py b/invoke/terminals.py index 4151ba5ed..1c98b10e1 100644 --- a/invoke/terminals.py +++ b/invoke/terminals.py @@ -243,6 +243,12 @@ def bytes_to_read(input_: IO) -> int: # it's not a tty but has a fileno, or vice versa; neither is typically # going to work re: ioctl(). if not WINDOWS and isatty(input_) and has_fileno(input_): - fionread = fcntl.ioctl(input_, termios.FIONREAD, b" ") - return int(struct.unpack("h", fionread)[0]) + # FIONREAD writes a C int (typically 4 bytes).
