+.. data:: MAX_GZIP_DECODE
+
+   The module constant specifies the amount of bytes that are decompressed by
+   :func:`gzip_decode`. The default value is *20 MB*. A value of *-1* disables
+   the protection.
+
+   .. versionadded:: 2.7.4
+      The constant was added to strengthen the module against gzip bomb
