NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-tornado package and not the python-tornado package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library. Prior to 6.5.6, Tornado gzip decompression routines processed limited-size chunks but did not enforce an overall limit on accumulated decompressed chunks, allowing a malicious server accessed by SimpleAsyncHTTPClient or an HTTPServer configured with decompress_request=True to consume effectively unlimited memory. This issue is fixed in version 6.5.6.
