 - Starlette is a lightweight ASGI framework/toolkit. Starting in version 0.39.0 and prior to version 0.49.1
 , an unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted HTTP Range header that triggers quadratic-time processing
 in Starlette's FileResponse Range parsing/merging logic. This enables CPU exhaustion per request, causing
