AIOHTTP vulnerable to denial of service through large payloads
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Summary
A request can be crafted in such a way that an aiohttp server's memory fills up uncontrollably during processing.
### Impact
If an application includes a handler that uses the `Request.post()` method, an attacker may be able to freeze the server by exhausting the memory.
