urllib3: Chunked Deflate streaming can enter an infinite loop

Impact urllib3's streaming API is designed for the efficient handling of large HTTP responses by reading content in chunks instead of loading the entire response body into memory at once. urllib3 can decompress response bodies according to the HTTP Content-Encoding header. When streaming a...

CVE-2026-97689

urllib3 is an HTTP client library for Python. From 1.10.3 until 2.8.0, the HTTPResponse.readchunked and HTTPResponse.stream methods can allocate unbounded memory because the streaming chunk parser buffers the chunk-size field until newline or EOF without a length bound. The trigger is that a...

CVE-2024-14029

A vulnerability was discovered in Tornado where it improperly handles HTTP requests containing duplicate Transfer-Encoding: chunked headers. When duplicate Transfer-Encoding headers are present in an incoming request, Tornado ignores them and treats the request as body-less, leaving the chunked...

CVE-2026-84997: Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition

react/http is an event-driven, streaming HTTP client and server implementation for ReactPHP. From 0.6.0 until 1.11.1, React\Http\Io\ChunkedDecoder could enter an infinite loop while processing a malformed Transfer-Encoding: chunked body because handleData required its buffer to shrink on every...

CVE-2024-14029

Tornado before 6.4.1 ignores duplicate Transfer-Encoding: chunked headers, treating requests as having no message body and parsing the chunked body as a subsequent request. Attackers can exploit this inconsistency when Tornado is deployed behind proxies to perform HTTP request smuggling, enabling...
