https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-49768
29 Oct 2024 — Waitress is a Web Server Gateway Interface server for Python 2 and 3.

29 Oct 2024 — 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'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 resou... • https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/commit/1ae4e894c9f76543bee06584001583fc6fa8c95c • CWE-772: Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime •
