Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via RequestHandler in aiohttp/web_protocol.py, where idle connections that never send a request are not closed. Because _keepalive is initialised to False and no keepalive timeout is scheduled at connection establishment, a remote attacker can open a large number of connections without sending any request, exhausting server resources and causing a crash.
