Summary

GitPython before 3.2.0 contains a regular expression denial of service vulnerability in the _re_actor_epoch pattern used by parse_actor_and_date on author, committer, and tagger lines. Attackers can serve repositories with commit or tag objects containing long space-filled lines lacking a valid epoch or timezone, causing quadratic backtracking and CPU exhaustion.

Risk Assessment

A malicious repository can exhaust CPU and stall the application processing Git data, resulting in denial of service. The risk affects systems that automatically parse untrusted repositories.

Recommendation

Upgrade GitPython to version 3.2.0 or later. Restrict processing of untrusted repositories until the fix is deployed.
