regular expression denial-of-service (ReDoS) in Bleach
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
`bleach.clean` behavior parsing style attributes could result in a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS).
Calls to ``bleach.clean`` with an allowed tag with an allowed ``style`` attribute are vulnerable to ReDoS. For example, ``bleach.clean(..., attributes={'a': ['style']})``.
### Patches
3.1.4
### Workarounds
* do not whitelist the style attribute in `bleach.clean` calls
* limit input string length
