"The remote Fedora 43 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
FEDORA-2025-d93200cf16 advisory.

    Update `brotli` to [1.2.0](https://github.com/google/brotli/blob/v1.2.0/CHANGELOG.md) and `python-urllib3`
    to [2.6.1](https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/blob/2.6.1/CHANGES.rst).

    In python-urllib3:

    - Fixed a security issue where streaming API could improperly handle highly
      compressed HTTP content (decompression bombs) leading to excessive resource
      consumption even when a small amount of data was requested. Reading small
      chunks of compressed data is safer and much more efficient now.
      (CVE-2025-66471 / [`GHSA-2xpw-w6gg-
    jr37](https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/security/advisories/GHSA-2xpw-w6gg-jr37))
    - Fixed a security issue where an attacker could compose an HTTP response with
      virtually unlimited links in the `Content-Encoding` header, potentially
      leading to a denial of service (DoS) attack by exhausting system resources
      during decoding. The number of allowed chained encodings is now limited to 5.
      (CVE-2025-66418 / [`GHSA-gm62-xv2j-4w53](https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/security/advisories/GHSA-
    gm62-xv2j-4w53))
