NLTK before 3.10.3 contains a regular expression denial of service vulnerability in Pl196xCorpusReader that allows attackers to cause quadratic CPU consumption by supplying malformed TEI blocks with many unmatched opening tags. Attackers can exploit lazy regex patterns in the read_block method through public APIs like words() and tagged_words() to force repeated rescans and achieve near-quadratic runtime growth.
A flaw was found in NLTK, specifically within the Pl196xCorpusReader component. A remote attacker can exploit this by supplying malformed Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) blocks containing numerous unmatched opening tags. This triggers a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) vulnerability, causing quadratic CPU consumption and leading to a denial of service.
