NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream litellm-1.85 package and not the litellm-1.85 package as distributed by Minimos. See How to fix? for Minimos:latest 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.
