aiohttp vulnerable to Denial of Service when trying to parse malformed POST requests
### Summary
An attacker can send a specially crafted POST (multipart/form-data) request. When the aiohttp server processes it, the server will enter an infinite loop and be unable to process any further requests.

### Impact
An attacker can stop the application from serving requests after sending a single request.

For anyone needing to patch older versions of aiohttp, the minimum diff needed to resolve the issue is (located in `_read_chunk_from_length()`):

```diff
diff --git a/aiohttp/multipart.py b/aiohttp/multipart.py
index 227be605c..71fc2654a 100644

This does however introduce some very minor issues with handling form data. So, if possible, it would be recommended to also backport the changes in:

aiohttp Cross-site Scripting vulnerability on index pages for static file handling
### Summary

A XSS vulnerability exists on index pages for static file handling.

### Details

When using `web.static(..., show_index=True)`, the resulting index pages do not escape file names.

If users can upload files with arbitrary filenames to the static directory, the server is vulnerable to XSS attacks.

### Workaround

We have always recommended using a reverse proxy server (e.g. nginx) for serving static files. Users following the recommendation are unaffected.

Other users can disable `show_index` if unable to upgrade.
