Description

In pygments 1.1+, fixed in 2.7.4, the lexers used to parse programming languages rely heavily on regular expressions. Some of the regular expressions have exponential or cubic worst-case complexity and are vulnerable to ReDoS. By crafting malicious input, an attacker can cause a denial of service. A denial of service attack was discovered against pygments. Some of the regular expressions used to tokenise source code for highlighting have exponential complexity. A specially crafted input file could cause pygments to take effectively infinite time to parse, consuming CPU resources and denying access to the service.
