CVE-2026-111065: aiohttp cookie Max-Age integer overflow causes connection pool exhaustion

CVE-2026-111065 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4 · Published 2026-10-19

aiohttp is a Python framework for building asynchronous web applications and HTTP clients. A flaw in cookie Max-Age processing can cause integer overflow, leaving connections open and exhausting the connection pool until garbage collection runs. An attacker can temporarily deny service by rapidly triggering this condition.

Technologies: Aio-Libs Aiohttp, aiohttp (PyPI). Vendors: Aio-Libs, PyPI.

Technical details

An integer overflow in the Max-Age cookie attribute parser causes improper connection lifecycle management, leaving sockets open rather than closing them. The vulnerability is reachable via HTTP responses with malformed Max-Age values and results in temporary connection pool exhaustion; affected connections are eventually reclaimed by garbage collection. The issue is fixed in version 3.14.4.
