Description Ganesh 2026-09-24 15:22:51 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 before 6.5.8 contains a memory amplification vulnerability in parse_multipart_form_data that splits multipart data before validating the max_parts limit. Attackers can send crafted multipart requests with many parts to create large transient lists, exhausting server memory and causing denial of service.

Comment 1 Michel Lind 2026-09-29 20:22:40 UTC
Reassigning from `epel10` to `epel9`: Bug filed against a branch the package never shipped on.
