Description Jon Moroney 2026-07-09 20:10:00 UTC

Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

The incremental HTML parser (html.parser.HTMLParser) allows for CPU
denial-of-service through repeated unterminated markup declarations when
processing uncontrolled data.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 45 development cycle.
Changing version to 45.
