How to fix?

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 via the parse and validate strings capabilities in the int constructor.

Notes:

  1. This is possible when Tornado is deployed behind certain proxies that interpret those non-standard characters differently.
  2. This is known to apply to older versions of haproxy, although the current release is not affected.
