NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-mistune package and not the python-mistune package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Mistune is a Python Markdown parser with renderers and plugins. Prior to 3.3.0, a Markdown document containing many repeated or distinct reference-link definitions causes quadratic work in src/mistune/block_parser.py and the ref_links environment dictionary handling, allowing denial of service through CPU exhaustion. This issue is fixed in version 3.3.0.
