------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4007-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Daniel Leidert January 01, 2025 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : python-tornado Version : 6.1.0-1+deb11u1 CVE ID : CVE-2023-28370 CVE-2024-52804 Debian Bug : 1036875 1088112

Tornado is a scalable, non-blocking Python web framework and asynchronous networking library.

CVE-2023-28370

An open redirect vulnerability in Tornado versions 6.3.1 and earlier allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to redirect a user to an arbitrary web site and conduct a phishing attack by having the user access a specially crafted URL.

CVE-2024-52804

The algorithm used for parsing HTTP cookies in Tornado versions prior to 6.4.2 sometimes has quadratic complexity, leading to excessive CPU consumption when parsing maliciously-crafted cookie headers. This parsing occurs in the event loop thread and may block the processing of other requests.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 6.1.0-1+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-tornado packages.
