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.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":["CWE-770"],"references":["https://github.com/miyagawa/Starman/commit/89dffd3bdc9baa1cbe1b48a43615586ba2588558.patch","https://github.com/miyagawa/Starman/commit/a30533c03051502d6b67cd48b3a95a61e129691b.patch","https://metacpan.org/release/MIYAGAWA/Starman-0.4019/changes"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-26T17:23:06.845895309+00:00"},"epss":null,"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
