GHSA-8495-4g3g-x7pr: aiohttp allows request smuggling due to incorrect parsing of chunk extensions

### Summary The Python parser parses newlines in chunk extensions incorrectly which can lead to request smuggling vulnerabilities under certain conditions. ### 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/259edc369075de63e6f3a4eaade058c62af0df71

GHSA-27mf-ghqm-j3j8: aiohttp has a memory leak when middleware is enabled when requesting a resource with a non-allowed method

### Summary A memory leak can occur when a request produces a `MatchInfoError`. This was caused by adding an entry to a cache on each request, due to the building of each `MatchInfoError` producing a unique cache entry. ### Impact If the user is making use of any middlewares with `aiohttp.web` then it is advisable to upgrade immediately. An attacker may be able to exhaust the memory resources of a server by sending a substantial number (100,000s to millions) of such requests. ----- Patch: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/commit/bc15db61615079d1b6327ba42c682f758fa96936
