aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Prior to version 3.10.11, the Python parser parses newlines in chunk extensions incorrectly which can lead to request smuggling vulnerabilities under certain conditions. If a pure Python version of aiohttp is installed (i.e. without the usual C extensions) or `AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS` is enabled, then an attacker may be able to execute a request smuggling attack to bypass certain firewalls or proxy protections. Version 3.10.11 fixes the issue.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2024:11574 advisory.

    Red Hat Satellite is a system management solution that allows organizations     to configure and maintain their systems without the necessity to provide     public Internet access to their servers or other client systems. It     performs provisioning and configuration management of predefined standard     operating environments.

    Security Fix(es):

    * aiohttp: aiohttp vulnerable to request smuggling due to incorrect parsing of chunk extensions     (CVE-2024-52304)

The version of aioHTTP installed on the remote host is prior to 3.10.11. It is, therefore, affected by a request smuggling vulnerability. aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Prior to version 3.10.11, the Python parser parses newlines in chunk extensions incorrectly which can lead to request smuggling vulnerabilities under certain conditions. If a pure Python version of aiohttp is installed (i.e. without the usual C extensions) or `AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS` is enabled, then an attacker may be able to execute a request smuggling attack to bypass certain firewalls or proxy protections. Version 3.10.11 fixes the issue.
