CVE-2026-128128

AIOHTTP: WebSocket max_msg_size bypass via integer overflow

  • High 7.5

Description

AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Prior to 3.14.4, the C WebSocket reader adds a declared frame length to the size of an already buffered partial message using signed 64-bit arithmetic. A length near two to the power of 63 can overflow, allowing the max_msg_size check to pass. A remote peer can send a small non-final fragment followed by an oversized message and cause unbounded memory consumption. The Python WebSocket reader is unaffected. This issue is fixed in version 3.14.4.
