Summary
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language, which includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems.
Security Fix(es):
* python-pygments: Infinite loop in SML lexer may lead to DoS (CVE-2021-20270)
* python-pygments: ReDoS in multiple lexers (CVE-2021-27291)

High 7.5
Infinite Loop in Pygments
An infinite loop in SMLLexer in Pygments versions 1.5 to 2.7.3 may lead to denial of service when performing syntax highlighting of a Standard ML (SML) source file, as demonstrated by input that only contains the "exception" keyword.

High 7.5
Pygments vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)
In pygments 1.1+, fixed in 2.7.4, the lexers used to parse programming languages rely heavily on regular expressions. Some of the regular expressions have exponential or cubic worst-case complexity and are vulnerable to ReDoS. By crafting malicious input, an …
