CVE-2024-12720

A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability was identified in the huggingface/transformers library, specifically in the file tokenization_nougat_fast.py. The vulnerability occurs in the post_process_single() function, where a regular expression processes specially crafted input. The issue stems from the regex exhibiting exponential time complexity under certain conditions, leading to excessive backtracking. This can result in significantly high CPU usage and potential application downtime, effectively creating a Denial of Service (DoS) scenario. The affected version is v4.46.3 (latest).

Summary
  • (es) Se identificó una vulnerabilidad de denegación de servicio por expresión regular (ReDoS) en la librería huggingface/transformers, concretamente en el archivo tokenization_nougat_fast.py. La vulnerabilidad se produce en la función post_process_single(), donde una expresión regular procesa una entrada especialmente manipulada. El problema se debe a que la expresión regular presenta una complejidad temporal exponencial en determinadas condiciones, lo que provoca un retroceso excesivo. Esto puede resultar en un uso de CPU significativamente alto y un posible tiempo de inactividad de la aplicación, creando así un escenario de denegación de servicio (DoS). La versión afectada es la v4.46.3 (última versión).
