Summary
aiohttp: Payload Response Resources Are Not Closed After Mid-Body Disconnect
Details

Summary

Payload resources are not closed correctly when a client disconnects in the middle of a write.

Impact

If a payload is using an open file or similar limited resource, then an attacker may be able to cause resource starvation temporarily until garbage collection or similar closes the file.

Patch: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/commit/a762eda5242f6490d6ba667533193f8b473ad587
