{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-111101","details":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling vulnerability in the HTTP/1.1 chunked body reader of mtrudel bandit allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to exhaust server memory and CPU via a request body made of many 1-byte chunks. The chunked reader in lib/bandit/http1/socket.ex keeps every chunk as its own list cell and binary term until IO.iodata_to_binary/1 joins them, and nothing limits the number of chunks. The :length option of read_body/2 counts only data bytes, so tiny chunks cost far more memory than their payload: 48 MB of 1-byte chunks grew one handler process to about 500 MB and took about 6 s of CPU. The route does not need to read the body, because on keep-alive connections ensure_completed/1 drains unread bodies through the same reader. This issue affects bandit: from 0.1.0 before 1.14.0.","modified":"2026-10-28T20:16:22.984364533Z","published":"2026-10-26T14:16:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-111101"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-111101"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-111101"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://cna.erlef.org/cves/cve-2026-111101.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/mtrudel/bandit/commit/220b9dfd27f9a21305be2afc75cbe585ddc24e7a"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/mtrudel/bandit/commit/7201270c34b90f6c9e15c0386c2bb802c0c72ab4"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/mtrudel/bandit/security/advisories/ghsa-jwh3-j29h-qfmw"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://hex.pm/packages/bandit"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/mtrudel/bandit"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://repo.hex.pm"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/cveproject/cvelistv5/tree/main/cves/2026/111xxx/cve-2026-111101.json"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/cve-2026-111101"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/eef-cve-2026-111101"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"bandit","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/bandit?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.13.2-1","0.13.2-3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"0.13.2-3","binary_name":"bandit"},{"binary_name":"python-bandit","binary_version":"0.13.2-3"},{"binary_version":"0.13.2-3","binary_name":"python3-bandit"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-111101.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bandit","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/bandit?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.4.0-0ubuntu2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"bandit","binary_version":"1.4.0-0ubuntu2"},{"binary_name":"python-bandit","binary_version":"1.4.0-0ubuntu2"},{"binary_name":"python3-bandit","binary_version":"1.4.0-0ubuntu2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-111101.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bandit","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/bandit?arch=source&distro=focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.5.1-3","1.6.2-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"bandit","binary_version":"1.6.2-1"},{"binary_version":"1.6.2-1","binary_name":"python3-bandit"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-111101.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bandit","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/bandit?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.6.2-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.6.2-1","binary_name":"bandit"},{"binary_name":"python3-bandit","binary_version":"1.6.2-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-111101.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bandit","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/bandit?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.6.2-3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"bandit","binary_version":"1.6.2-3"},{"binary_version":"1.6.2-3","binary_name":"python3-bandit"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-111101.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bandit","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/bandit?arch=source&distro=stonking"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.7.10-3","1.9.4-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"bandit","binary_version":"1.9.4-1"},{"binary_name":"python3-bandit","binary_version":"1.9.4-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-111101.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bandit","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/bandit?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.7.10-2","1.7.10-3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"bandit","binary_version":"1.7.10-3"},{"binary_version":"1.7.10-3","binary_name":"python3-bandit"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-111101.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.2","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"},{"type":"Ubun
