CVE-2026-55558: Asyncio Starttls Unpurged Buffer Injection
Calling `start_tls` without first clearing the protocol's internal receive buffer allows unencrypted data injected by a network attacker prior to the TLS handshake to persist and be processed as authentic data within the encrypted TLS session (STARTTLS injection). Ensure any buffered plaintext bytes are purged (e.g., `del self._buffer[:]` or `self._buffer.cl
