Complexity vulnerability in the CSS scrubber in rrrene html_sanitize_ex allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to exhaust server CPU via a long CSS declaration in sanitized HTML. The declaration regex in HtmlSanitizeEx.Scrubber.CSS.scrub/1 matches the property name with an unbounded greedy [-\\w]+ followed by a mandatory :, so a long run of word characters not followed by a colon makes the engine give back one character at a time and retry the colon at every start offset. The work is quadratic in the length of the run, and no length cap is applied to the CSS handed to the scrubber. An 80 KB <style> body costs roughly 2.4 seconds of scheduler time, so a few concurrent requests saturate the BEAM scheduler pool and make the application unresponsive.\n\nThe impact is CPU exhaustion only. Nothing is read, modified or disclosed.\n\nThis issue affects html_sanitize_ex: from 0.3.1 before 1.4.5 and from 1.5.0-rc.0 before 1.5.3."}, {"lang": "es", "value": "Una vulnerabilidad de complejidad de expresi\u00f3n regular ineficiente en el depurador CSS en rrrene html_sanitize_ex permite a un atacante remoto no autenticado agotar la CPU del servidor a trav\u00e9s de una declaraci\u00f3n CSS larga en HTML saneado. La expresi\u00f3n regular de declaraci\u00f3n en HtmlSanitizeEx.Scrubber.CSS.scrub/1 coincide con el nombre de la propiedad con un [-\\w]+ codicioso ilimitado seguido de un : obligatorio, por lo que una secuencia larga de caracteres de palabra no seguida por dos puntos hace que el motor retroceda un car\u00e1cter a la vez y reintente los dos puntos en cada desplazamiento de inicio. El trabajo es cuadr\u00e1tico en la longitud de la secuencia, y no se aplica ning\u00fan l\u00edmite de longitud al CSS entregado al depurador. Un cuerpo [style] de 80 KB cuesta aproximadamente 2.4 segundos de tiempo de planificador, por lo que unas pocas solicitudes concurrentes saturan el pool de planificadores BEAM y hacen que la aplicaci\u00f3n no responda.\n\nEl impacto es solo agotamiento de CPU.
