{"id":"CVE-2026-115817","published":"2026-10-25T17:17:00.940","lastModified":"2026-10-26T17:13:55.323","description":"Starman versions before 0.4019 for Perl allow a stalled request body to hold a worker indefinitely, as read_timeout covers only the headers.\n\nContent-Length and chunked request bodies are read with blocking reads and no deadline. 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.","cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"cvssVector":null,"cwes":["CWE-770"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/miyagawa/Starman/commit/89dffd3bdc9baa1cbe1b48a43615586ba2588558.patch","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/miyagawa/Starman/commit/a30533c03051502d6b67cd48b3a95a61e129691b.patch","tags":[]},{"url":"https://metacpan.org/release/MIYAGAWA/Starman-0.4019/changes","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[{"url":"https://github.com/miyagawa/Starman/commit/89dffd3bdc9baa1cbe1b48a43615586ba2588558.patch","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/miyagawa/Starman/commit/a30533c03051502d6b67cd48b3a95a61e129691b.patch","tags":[]}],"hasPoc":true,"ai":null}
