✅ Remediation
For OpenShift Container Platform 4.20, see the following documentation for important instructions about upgrading your cluster and applying this asynchronous errata update: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.20/html/release_notes/index Information about accessing this content is available at https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.20/html-single/updating_clusters/index#updating-cluster-cli Workaround: To mitigate this issue, implement infrastructure-level normalization to ensure all incoming HTTP/2 `:path` headers are properly formatted with a leading slash before reaching the gRPC-Go server. This can be achieved by configuring a reverse proxy or API gateway to validate and normalize the `:path` header. Ensure that any such intermediary is properly configured and restarted to apply the changes, which may temporarily impact service availability.
