      <title>CVE-2024-49769 — Waitress has a denial of service leading to high CPU usage/resource exhaustion</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2024-49769</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Pylons waitress&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Waitress is a Web Server Gateway Interface server for Python 2 and 3. When a remote client closes the connection before waitress has had the opportunity to call getpeername() waitress won&amp;#39;t correctly clean up the connection leading to the main thread attempting to write to a socket that no longer exists, but not removing it from the list of sockets to attempt to process. This leads to a busy-loop calling the write function. A remote attacker could run waitress out of available sockets with very little resources required. Waitress 3.0.1 contains fixes that remove the race condition.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
