NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-aiohttp package and not the python-aiohttp package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:22.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. The HTTP parser in AIOHTTP has numerous problems with header parsing, which could lead to request smuggling. This parser is only used when AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS is enabled (or not using a prebuilt wheel). These bugs have been addressed in commit d5c12ba89 which has been included in release version 3.8.6. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for these issues.
