+CVE-2018-7536: Denial-of-service possibility in ``urlize`` and ``urlizetrunc`` template filters
+===============================================================================================
+
+The ``django.utils.html.urlize()`` function was extremely slow to evaluate
+certain inputs due to catastrophic backtracking vulnerabilities in two regular
+expressions. The ``urlize()`` function is used to implement the ``urlize`` and
+``urlizetrunc`` template filters, which were thus vulnerable.
+
+The problematic regular expressions are replaced with parsing logic that
+behaves similarly.
