4Subject: [PATCH] [3.5] bpo-32981: Fix catastrophic backtracking vulns
5 (GH-5955) (#6034)
6
7* Prevent low-grade poplib REDOS (CVE-2018-1060)
8
9The regex to test a mail server's timestamp is susceptible to
10catastrophic backtracking on long evil responses from the server.
11
12Happily, the maximum length of malicious inputs is 2K thanks
13to a limit introduced in the fix for CVE-2013-1752.
14
15A 2KB evil response from the mail server would result in small slowdowns
16(milliseconds vs. microseconds) accumulated over many apop calls.
17This is a potential DOS vector via accumulated slowdowns.
18
19Replace it with a similar non-vulnerable regex.
20
21The new regex is RFC compliant.
22The old regex was non-compliant in edge cases.
23
24* Prevent difflib REDOS (CVE-2018-1061)
25
26The default regex for IS_LINE_JUNK is susceptible to
27catastrophic backtracking.
28This is a potential DOS vector.
29
30Replace it with an equivalent non-vulnerable regex.
31
32Also introduce unit and REDOS tests for difflib.
