The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2021:1521-1 advisory.

  - In pygments 1.1+, fixed in 2.7.4, the lexers used to parse programming languages rely heavily on regular     expressions. Some of the regular expressions have exponential or cubic worst-case complexity and are     vulnerable to ReDoS. By crafting malicious input, an attacker can cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2021-27291)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

An update of the python3 package has been released.

It was discovered that there was a series of denial of service vulnerabilities in Pygments, a popular syntax highlighting library for Python.

A number of regular expressions had exponential or cubic worst-case complexity which could cause a remote denial of service (DoS) when provided with malicious input.

For Debian 9 'Stretch', this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.0+dfsg-1+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your pygments packages.

For the detailed security status of pygments please refer to its security tracker page at:
