NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-setuptools package and not the python-setuptools package as distributed by Centos.

Python Packaging Authority (PyPA) setuptools before 65.5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via HTML in a crafted package or custom PackageIndex page. There is a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in package_index.py.
