AI-suggested
A patch is available in AnyIO version 3.26.0 that fixes this issue. Users should upgrade to version 3.26.0 or later. As a workaround, closing sys.stderr in the target function can prevent the deadlock until the patch is applied.
Description
AnyIO versions from 3.2.0 up to but not including 3.26.0 have a vulnerability where process-pool workers can block indefinitely due to undrained stderr pipes. The worker redirects stdin and stdout to /dev/null but does not redirect stderr, allowing an attacker-influenced large stderr output to fill the pipe and cause a deadlock. This affects users running untrusted or faulty code that writes excessively to stderr. The issue is fixed in version 3.26.0.
