Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for python-h2.

CVE-2026-71554[0]:
| h2 is a pure-Python implementation of a HTTP/2 protocol stack.
| Versions up to and including 4.4.0 accept request header blocks
| containing more than one Host header, and forward every Host header
| to the consuming application. Where the consumer downgrades HTTP/2
| to HTTP/1.1, the resulting request carries two Host header lines,
| providing a request smuggling primitive. This issue is fixed in
| version 4.4.1.
