1Converting between :class:`int` and :class:`str` in bases other than 2
2(binary), 4, 8 (octal), 16 (hexadecimal), or 32 such as base 10 (decimal) now
3raises a :exc:`ValueError` if the number of digits in string form is above a
4limit to avoid potential denial of service attacks due to the algorithmic
5complexity. This is a mitigation for `CVE-2020-10735
6<https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-10735>`_.

8This new limit can be configured or disabled by environment variable, command
9line flag, or :mod:`sys` APIs. See the :ref:`integer string conversion length
10limitation <int_max_str_digits>` documentation.  The default limit is 4300
11digits in string form.
