AIOHTTP: Unread Compressed Request Bodies Bypass client_max_size During Cleanup

Published Jun 22, 2026 · Updated Jun 23, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Prior to 3.14.1, during cleanup it is possible for a compressed request body to be decompressed into memory in one chunk. An attacker may be able to send a compressed payload in specific situations that could be decompressed into memory, potentially leading to DoS (a zip bomb edge case). This vulnerability is fixed in 3.14.1.
