Summary

Red Hat Security Advisory: python-tornado security update

Severity

Important

Notes

Topic: An update for python-tornado is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2 Extended Update Support. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Details: Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library that provides an open source version of scalable, non-blocking web server and tools. Security Fix(es): * python-tornado: Tornado has HTTP cookie parsing DoS vulnerability (CVE-2024-52804) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

CVE-2024-14029

A vulnerability was discovered in Tornado where it improperly handles HTTP requests containing duplicate Transfer-Encoding: chunked headers. When duplicate Transfer-Encoding headers are present in an incoming request, Tornado ignores them and treats the request as body-less, leaving the chunked message body unparsed in the HTTP socket stream. When Tornado is deployed behind a reverse proxy or load balancer that correctly processes chunked payloads, an unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this parsing discrepancy to conduct HTTP request smuggling, bypass proxy security restrictions, poison intermediate caches, or desynchronize backend connections.

7.5 (High)

Threats

Impact Important

CVE-2024-52804

A flaw was found in Tornado's HTTP cookie parsing algorithm. This vulnerability allows excessive CPU consumption via maliciously crafted cookie headers due to Quadratic complexity, potentially blocking the processing of other requests and leading to the loss of availability of the system.

7.5 (High)

CVE-2024-14029 (GCVE-0-2024-14029)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-09-15 15:17 – Updated: 2026-09-15 17:09

Title

Tornado before 6.4.1 HTTP Request Smuggling via Transfer-Encoding

Summary

Tornado before 6.4.1 ignores duplicate Transfer-Encoding: chunked headers, treating requests as having no message body and parsing the chunked body as a subsequent request. Attackers can exploit this inconsistency when Tornado is deployed behind proxies to perform HTTP request smuggling, enabling access control bypass, cache poisoning, or connection desynchronization.

CVE-2024-52804 (GCVE-0-2024-52804)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-11-22 15:43 – Updated: 2025-11-03 22:28

Title

Tornado has HTTP cookie parsing DoS vulnerability

Summary

Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library. The algorithm used for parsing HTTP cookies in Tornado versions prior to 6.4.2 sometimes has quadratic complexity, leading to excessive CPU consumption when parsing maliciously-crafted cookie headers. This parsing occurs in the event loop thread and may block the processing of other requests. Version 6.4.2 fixes the issue.

Severity

7.5 (High)
