CVE-2017-14158 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2017-14158):
  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.
