CVE NOT AVAILABLE CWE-444  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade tornado to version 6.3.3 or higher.

Overview

tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library, originally developed at FriendFeed.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling due to improper parsing of the -, +, and _ characters in chunk length and Content-Length fields through the int constructor.

Note: Exploiting this vulnerability is possible if Tornado is deployed behind certain proxies that interpret non-standard characters differently, such as older versions of haproxy.
