AIOHTTP: File descriptor exhaustion in multipart requests

Published Oct 19, 2026 · Updated Oct 20, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. From 2.0.0 until 3.14.4, multipart request processing can retain an unbounded number of open file descriptors. An unauthenticated attacker can consequently exhaust file descriptors with specially crafted multipart requests when a handler uses Request.post(). This issue is fixed in version 3.14.4.
