multipart vulnerable to ReDoS in parse_options_header()
Summary
The parse_options_header() function in multipart.py uses a regular expression with an ambiguous alternation, which can cause exponential backtracking (ReDoS) when parsing maliciously crafted HTTP or multipart segment headers. This can be abused for denial of service (DoS) attacks against web applications using this library to parse request headers or multipart/form-data streams.
Impact
Any WSGI or ASGI application using multipart.parse_form_data() directly or indirectly (e.g. while parsing multipart/form-data streams) is vulnerable. The slow-down is significant enough to block request handling threads for multiple seconds per request.
Affected versions
All versions up to and including 1.3.0 are affected. The issue is fixed in 1.2.2, 1.3.1 and 1.4.0-dev.

A flaw was found in multipart. The parse_options_header function in multipart.py uses a regular expression with an ambiguous alternation, causing an exponential backtracking (ReDoS) when parsing a specially crafted HTTP or multipart segment headers. A web application parsing request headers or multipart/form-data streams can block request handling threads for multiple seconds per request, eventually resulting in a denial of service.
