I don't think that this job is supposed to run: I created https://bugs.python.org/issue40156 and #19306 to disable this job. |

@ned-deily: so if you cannot merge this PR because of CodeCov, you can use PR #19306. |
Sorry, something went wrong.
The AbstractBasicAuthHandler class of the urllib.request module uses an inefficient regular expression which can be exploited by an attacker to cause a denial of service. Fix the regex to prevent the catastrophic backtracking. Vulnerability reported by Ben Caller and Matt Schwager. AbstractBasicAuthHandler of urllib.request now parses all WWW-Authenticate HTTP headers and accepts multiple challenges per header: use the realm of the first Basic challenge. Co-Authored-By: Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka@gmail.com> (cherry picked from commit 0b297d4)
