CVE-2024-10624: gradio Datetime component ReDoS via crafted HTTP request

Summary

CVE-2024-10624 is a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) flaw in the gr.Datetime component of the gradio-app/gradio repository, affecting git commit 98cbcae. The component applies the regex ^(?:\s*now\s*(?:-\s*(\d+)\s*([dmhs]))?)?\s*$ to user input, and in Python's default regex engine certain crafted inputs take polynomial time to match. An attacker can send a crafted HTTP request to drive the gradio process to 100% CPU, potentially causing a Denial of Service on the server.
