Description Ganesh 2026-09-22 03:54:20 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

HTTPX2 is a next generation HTTP client for Python. Prior to 2.11.0, Request._prepare() in src/httpx2/httpx2/_models.py can add a body-derived Content-Length header to a request that already contains a caller-supplied Transfer-Encoding header because its setdefault() processing checks each default header independently rather than treating the two framing headers as mutually exclusive. Fixed-size byte, JSON, form, and known-length multipart bodies can therefore be serialized over HTTP/1.1 with both headers, allowing request smuggling or connection desynchronization when downstream intermediaries disagree about which framing header takes precedence. This issue is fixed in version 2.11.0.

Comment 1 Ben Beasley 2026-09-22 05:39:28 UTC
Fedora 45+ already have a recent enough version of python-httpx2. Fedora 44 has an older version for dependency reasons, particularly click, but it appears that upstream’s lower bound is overly conservative and can be loosened, allowing the package to be updated.
