Description
A vulnerability in AIOHTTP's Max-Age processing can cause an overflow that prevents connections from closing properly. This may allow an attacker to temporarily exhaust the connection pool until garbage collection frees the connections. The issue affects hermes-agent versions from 0.21.6 up to but not including 2026.5.16_1, and versions from 2026.9.14 onward. A fix is available in version 2026.5.16_1.
