There is no fixed version for Debian:13 python-aiohttp.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-aiohttp package and not the python-aiohttp package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. In versions starting with 3.10.6 and prior to 3.10.11, a memory leak can occur when a request produces a MatchInfoError. This was caused by adding an entry to a cache on each request, due to the building of each MatchInfoError producing a unique cache entry. An attacker may be able to exhaust the memory resources of a server by sending a substantial number (100,000s to millions) of such requests. Those who use any middlewares with aiohttp.web should upgrade to version 3.10.11 to receive a patch.
