NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-tornado package and not the python3-tornado package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library. 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. Version 6.4.2 fixes the issue.
