OpenStack Swift: s3api middleware enters an infinite loop when processing a truncated aws-chunked PUT request body
GHSA-g7jq-j257-rww2 · CVE-2026-49017
Published · Modified
Description
In OpenStack Swift before 2.36.2 and 2.37.2, s3api middleware enters an infinite loop when processing a truncated aws-chunked PUT request body. The StreamingInput class repeatedly appends an empty buffer and re-reads, causing the proxy-server worker handling the request to become permanently unresponsive with increasing CPU and memory consumption. An authenticated attacker can systematically exhaust all proxy-server workers, resulting in denial of service. The defect was introduced in Swift 2.36.0.
