- In Waitress version 1.4.2 a new regular expression was added to validate the
headers that Waitress receives to make sure that it matches RFC7230.
Unfortunately the regular expression was written in a way that with invalid
input it leads to catastrophic backtracking which allows for a Denial of
Service and CPU usage going to a 100%.
This is a follow-up to the fix introduced in 1.4.1 to tighten up the way
Waitress strips whitespace from header values. This makes sure Waitress won't
accidentally treat non-printable characters as whitespace and lead to a
potental HTTP request smuggling/splitting security issue.
