Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via multipart message handling in aiohttp/web_request.py, where each body part in a multipart request previously opened a dedicated temporary file descriptor. An attacker can send a multipart request composed of many small parts to exhaust the process's available file descriptors, crashing the server.
