Description

This affects the package jinja2 from 0.0.0 and before 2.11.3. The ReDOS vulnerability of the regex is mainly due to the sub-pattern [a-zA-Z0-9.-]+.[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+ This issue can be mitigated by Markdown to format user content instead of the urlize filter, or by implementing request timeouts and limiting process memory.
