Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The aiohttp package, versions before 3.14.3, is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds heap read in its C HTTP response parser while it builds an error message for a malformed response. An attacker-controlled server, or possibly an accidental malformed response, could cause a denial of service in the client. Upgrade to aiohttp 3.14.3 or later. If you cannot upgrade, set the environment variable AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS=1 to use the Python parser, which the source says is unaffected.
