Echo: h2: security update to 4.4.1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 458084

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- 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.
(CVE-2026-71554)

Solution

Update the h2 library and its related packages to version 4.4.1 or later.
