Uncover the essential security patch for python-h2 in Debian that resolves request smuggling vulnerabilities highlighted in CVE-2025-57804.
A vulnerability has been discovered in python-h2, a Python HTTP/2 protocol implementation

Summary

CVE-2025-57804

HTTP/2 request splitting vulnerability allows attackers to perform
request smuggling attacks by injecting CRLF characters into headers.
This occurs when servers downgrade HTTP/2 requests to HTTP/1.1
without properly validating header names/values, enabling attackers
to manipulate request boundaries and bypass security controls.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
4.0.0-3+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-h2 packages.

For the detailed security status of python-h2 please refer to
