A client that sends complete headers and then stalls or trickles the body keeps the worker waiting until it disconnects.\n\nA remote attacker can take every worker with a few such connections, five with the default worker count, so the server stops answering requests.\n\nVersion 0.4019 applies read_timeout to each wait for body data and adds a body_timeout limit, 300 seconds by default, on the total time to read a body.","published":"2026-10-25T17:17:01.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-26T17:13:55.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"9b29abf9-4ab0-4765-b253-1875cd9b441e","cvss":null,"cwe":["CWE-770"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00301,"percentile":0.22739,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[{"date":"2026-10-26","score":0.00301,"percentile":0.22672}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"unknown","text":"Not yet scored.
