    Tornado is a scalable, non-blocking Python web framework and     asynchronous networking library.

    CVE-2023-28370

        An open redirect vulnerability in Tornado versions 6.3.1 and earlier allows         a remote unauthenticated attacker to redirect a user to an arbitrary web         site and conduct a phishing attack by having the user access a specially         crafted URL.

    CVE-2024-52804

        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.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     6.1.0-1+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your python-tornado packages.
