During cleanup it is possible for a compressed request body to be decompressed into memory in one chunk.
An attacker may be able to send a compressed payload in specific situations that could be decompressed into memory, potentially leading to DoS (a zip bomb edge case).
Disable compression if unable to upgrade.
