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 SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library. Prior to 6.5.6, the optional native extension tornado.speedups implemented websocket_mask without validating that the mask argument is exactly four bytes, allowing the C function to read up to three bytes beyond the provided buffer when reached through Tornado XSRF token decoding with the native extension active. This issue is fixed in version 6.5.6.
