Описание
Symfony's YAML Parser has a ReDoS via Catastrophic Backtracking in Parser::cleanup() Regex
Description
Symfony\Component\Yaml\Parser::cleanup() strips the optional %YAML directive header, leading comments, and document start/end markers before parsing. The original regexes contained overlapping quantifiers, most notably '#^%YAML[: ][\d.]+.*\n#u', whose [\d.]+ and .* overlap on the dot, that exhibit catastrophic backtracking on crafted input. A single oversized %YAML directive header (or comment / document-marker line) makes the parser hang for an arbitrarily long time, denying service.
Resolution
The four regexes in Parser::cleanup() (YAML directive header, leading comments, document-start marker, document-end marker) have been rewritten with possessive quantifiers and unambiguous character classes so backtracking cannot occur.
The patch for this issue is available here for branch 5.4.
Credits
Symfony would like to thank Pietro Tirenna (Shielder) for reporting the issue and Nicolas Grekas for fixing it.

Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. Prior to 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12, Symfony\Component\Yaml\Parser::cleanup() used regular expressions with overlapping quantifiers for YAML directive, comment, and document marker cleanup, allowing crafted input to make parsing hang for an arbitrarily long time. This issue is fixed in versions 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12.
