Description Ganesh 2026-08-24 13:19:28 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library. Prior to 6.5.6, SimpleAsyncHTTPClient shallow-copied redirected requests and removed only the Host header, leaving Authorization, auth_username, auth_password, and auth_mode in place when a redirect changed scheme, host, or port. This issue is fixed in version 6.5.6.

Comment 1 Michel Lind 2026-08-25 14:23:52 UTC
Reassigning from `epel10` to `epel9`: Bug filed against a branch the package never shipped on.
