{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-115817","details":"Starman versions before 0.4019 for Perl allow a stalled request body to hold a worker indefinitely, as read_timeout covers only the headers.  Content-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.  A remote attacker can take every worker with a few such connections, five with the default worker count, so the server stops answering requests.  Version 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.","modified":"2026-10-27T09:47:32.110584669Z","published":"2026-10-25T17:17:00.940Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-115817"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-115817"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"starman","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/starman?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.4016-1","0.4017-1","0.4018-1","0.4019-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-115817.json"}},{"package":{"name":"starman","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/starman?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.4017-1","0.4018-0+deb13u1","0.4018-1","0.4019-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-115817.json"}},{"package":{"name":"starman","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/starman?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.4017-1","0.4018-1","0.4019-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-115817.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.2"}
