Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-07-01 02:10:53 UTC 
CVE-2021-33503:

An issue was discovered in urllib3 before 1.26.5. When provided with a URL containing many @ characters in the authority component, the authority regular expression exhibits catastrophic backtracking, causing a denial of service if a URL were passed as a parameter or redirected to via an HTTP redirect.


Please stabilize.
