There are two issues to address.
First, we fix the UAF in
PyObject_CallFinalizer. We set theFINALIZEDflag before callingtp_finalize, so we don't need to call_PyType_IS_GCagain. Bothgc.candgc_free_threading.cdo the same.Second, after calling
PyObject_CallFinalizerFromDealloc, we extract the type ofselfagain to get the updated type, and the rest works correctly. We do the same fortp_dellater in the code.
