There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 grpc-cli.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream grpc-cli package and not the grpc-cli package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

When gRPC HTTP2 stack raised a header size exceeded error, it skipped parsing the rest of the HPACK frame. This caused any HPACK table mutations to also be skipped, resulting in a desynchronization of HPACK tables between sender and receiver. If leveraged, say, between a proxy and a backend, this could lead to requests from the proxy being interpreted as containing headers from different proxy clients - leading to an information leak that can be used for privilege escalation or data exfiltration. We recommend upgrading beyond the commit contained in  https://github.com/grpc/grpc/pull/33005 https://github.com/grpc/grpc/pull/33005
