AIOHTTP vulnerable to DoS when bypassing asserts
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Summary
When assert statements are bypassed, an infinite loop can occur, resulting in a DoS attack when processing a POST body.
### Impact
If optimisations are enabled (`-O` or `PYTHONOPTIMIZE=1`), and the application includes a handler that uses the `Request.post()` method, then an attacker may be able to execute a DoS attack with a specially crafted message.
