python coredump with libffi 3.4.2

Bug report

Bug description:

I encountered a core dump and the backtrace shows that it relates to ctypes:

I changed nothing but the version of libffi from 3.3 to 3.4.2, while it runs ok with version 3,3.
I compile libffi and recompiling python with it:

# compile libffi
./configure --prefix=/path/to/libffi/ CFLAGS="-fPIC" --disable-shared --disable-docs
make && make install

# compile python with libffi
sed -i '/Linux\*|GNU\*) LINKFORSHARED=/ s/="/&-pie /' configure
./configure CFLAGS="-fstack-protector-strong -fPIC -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2" LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/libffi/lib64 -Bstatic -Wl,--build-id=none,-z,noexecstack,-z,relro,-z,now" LIBS="-lffi"
make && make install

I also run unittest of ctypes as ctypes unittest crashes with libffi 3.4.2,

test_callbacks (ctypes.test.test_as_parameter.AsParamPropertyWrapperTestCase) ... Aborted (core dumped)

it cored as follows:

#0  0x00007fa96efcc77b in raise () from /usr/lib64/libc.so.6

Do you have any ideas?

Tested with:

• python 3.9.11
• libffi 3.4.2
• OS: x86_64 GNU/Linux

CPython versions tested on:

3.9

Operating systems tested on:

Linux

Commencez par reproduire le crash avec Python 3.9.11 et libffi 3.4.2, puis comparez-le avec libffi 3.3. Inspectez Modules/_ctypes/callbacks.c autour de closure_fcn et CThunkObject_dealloc, et exécutez le test ctypes nommé test_callbacks, en particulier l’échec dans test_as_parameter.AsParamPropertyWrapperTestCase. C’est terminé lorsque le crash est expliqué et que les tests ctypes concernés passent.
