Scrapy denial of service vulnerability
🔗 CVE IDs covered (1)
📋 Description
Scrapy 1.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via large files because arbitrarily many files are read into memory, which is especially problematic if the files are then individually written in a separate thread to a slow storage resource, as demonstrated by interaction between dataReceived (in core/downloader/handlers/http11.py) and S3FilesStore.
🎯 Affected products1
- pip/scrapy:>= 0.7, <= 2.15.2
