Description
### Summary The Python parser is vulnerable to a request smuggling vulnerability due to not parsing trailer sections of an HTTP request. ### Impact If a pure Python version of aiohttp is installed (i.e. without the usual C extensions) or AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS is enabled, then an attacker may be able to execute a request smuggling attack to bypass certain firewalls or proxy protections. ---- Patch: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/commit/e8d774f635dc6d1cd3174d0e38891da5de0e2b6a
