Summary

Fixes a regression introduced in #295.

That PR rewrote HEADER_FIELD to find the colon and validate the whole field-name span at once. The size check (advance_header_size) ran after slicing and translate-validating the span, so a header field name with no colon arriving in one large write() chunk got sliced and scanned in full before the max_header_size limit was applied - the limit no longer bounded the work or temporary allocation for an oversized name.

This moves advance_header_size to before the slice/validate, so an over-limit field name fails fast as it did prior to #295.

For an 8 MiB field-name chunk with the default 4 KiB limit, parser-side temporary allocation drops from ~16 MiB back to ~4 KiB; behaviour for valid input is unchanged.

Correctness

  • All existing tests pass; 100% coverage; mypy + ruff clean.
  • Differentially fuzzed against the pre-Speed up multipart header parsing and callback dispatch #295 implementation: identical callback event streams and identical exception classes across randomized bodies x every chunk-split strategy (including byte-by-byte), at small and default header limits.
  • Starlette 1.2.1's tests/test_formparsers.py (40 tests) pass against this branch.

AI Disclaimer

This PR was developed with the assistance of either Claude or Codex. I've reviewed and verified the changes.

Enforce the per-header size limit before slicing and bulk-validating the
field name, so an over-limit name fails fast instead of copying and scanning
the whole span. Fixes a regression from #295, which moved the size check
after the slice/validate.

[Compare Source](pydantic/pydantic-settings@v2.14.1...v2.14.2)

#### What's Changed

This is a security patch release.

- Prevent `NestedSecretsSettingsSource` from following symlinks outside `secrets_dir` by [@&#8203;hramezani](https://github.com/hramezani) in [#&#8203;889](pydantic/pydantic-settings#889)
- Prepare release 2.14.2 by [@&#8203;hramezani](https://github.com/hramezani) in [#&#8203;890](pydantic/pydantic-settings#890)

##### Security

Fixes [GHSA-4xgf-cpjx-pc3j](GHSA-4xgf-cpjx-pc3j): `NestedSecretsSettingsSource` with `secrets_nested_subdir=True` could follow a symbolic link inside `secrets_dir` pointing outside it, reading out-of-tree files into settings values and bypassing the `secrets_dir_max_size` cap. Affected versions: `>= 2.12.0, < 2.14.2`.
