Description

Summary

Multiple Host headers were allowed in aiohttp.

Impact

Mostly this doesn't affect aiohttp security itself, but if a reverse proxy is applying security rules depending on the target Host, it is theoretically possible that the proxy and aiohttp could process different host names, possibly resulting in bypassing a security check on the proxy and getting a request processed by aiohttp in a privileged sub app when using Application.add_domain().
