NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream py3-aiohttp package and not the py3-aiohttp package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.23 relevant fixed versions and status.

AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Versions 3.13.2 and below allow a request to be crafted in such a way that an AIOHTTP server's memory fills up uncontrollably during processing. 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. This issue is fixed in version 3.13.3.
