NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python38:3.8/python38-babel package and not the python38:3.8/python38-babel package as distributed by AlmaLinux.

There's a flaw in urllib's AbstractBasicAuthHandler class. An attacker who controls a malicious HTTP server that an HTTP client (such as web browser) connects to, could trigger a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDOS) during an authentication request with a specially crafted payload that is sent by the server to the client. The greatest threat that this flaw poses is to application availability.
