CVE-2026-64847: AnyIO process-pool workers can block indefinitely on undrained stderr

September 18, 2026

AnyIO starts process-pool workers with stderr connected to a pipe but never drains that pipe. The worker redirects stdin and stdout to /dev/null to protect its protocol, but does not redirect stderr even though the documentation says all three standard streams are redirected. Worker code that writes enough attacker-influenced data to stderr can fill the pipe, block before returning the stdout protocol response, and wedge the awaiting process-pool call.

Anyone who runs untrusted or faulty code that writes too much to stderr is at risk.
