Is this a bug in ruby Regexp? How to guard against "infinite loop" from regex match without using Timeout?

Question

I have this regex:

regex = /(Si.ges[a-zA-Z\W]*avec\W*fonction\W*m.moires)/i

And when I use it on some, but not all, texts e.g. this one:

text = "xation de 2 sièges-enfants sur la banquette AR),Pack \"Assistance\",Keyless Access avec alarme : Système de verrouillage/déverrouillage et de démarrage sans clé,Park Assist: Système d'assistance au stationnement en créneauet et en bataille,Rear Assist: Caméra de recul avec visualisation de la zone situ"

like so: text.match(regex), then ruby just runs in what seems like an infinite loop - but why? And is there anyway to guard against this, e.g. by having ruby throw an exception instead - without using the Timeout as it is a known issue when using it with Sidekiq (https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/wiki/Problems-and-Troubleshooting#add-timeouts-to-everything)

ruby version: 2.7.2
