AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Prior to 3.14.1, during cleanup it is possible for a compressed request body to be decompressed into memory in one chunk. An attacker may be able to send a compressed payload in specific situations that could be decompressed into memory, potentially leading to DoS (a zip bomb edge case). This vulnerability is fixed in 3.14.1.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:3208-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2026-50269: improper validation of user-controlled strings allows for CRLF injection in multipart     headers       (bsc#1268398).
    - CVE-2026-54273: no limit in the HTTP/1 pipelined request queue can lead to excessive resource     consumption       (bsc#1268543).
    - CVE-2026-54274: incomplete websocket frame payloads can bypass memory use limits and cause a DoS via     excessive       resource consumption (bsc#1268544).
    - CVE-2026-54275: `server_hostname` TLS SNI check bypass when an existing connection is reused     (bsc#1268549).
    - CVE-2026-54277: `max_line_size` bypass when using the optimised C HTTP parser can lead to excessive     resource       consumption (bsc#1268556).
    - CVE-2026-54278: unread compressed request bodies can bypass `client_max_size` during cleanup and cause a     DoS       (bsc#1268559).
    - CVE-2026-54279: host-only cookies become domain cookies after `CookieJar` persistence (bsc#1268560).
    - CVE-2026-54280: payload resources are not closed correctly when a client disconnects in the middle of a     write and       can cause resource starvation (bsc#1268561).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
