Hi, the following vulnerability was published for python-scrapy. CVE-2017-14158[0]: | Scrapy 1.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory | consumption) via large files because arbitrarily many files are read | into memory, which is especially problematic if the files are then | individually written in a separate thread to a slow storage resource, | as demonstrated by interaction between dataReceived (in | core/downloader/handlers/http11.py) and S3FilesStore. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
