Related CVEs CVE-2025-47287


A vulnerability was discovered in python-tornado, a scalable, non-blocking Python web framework and asynchronous networking library.

CVE-2025-47287

When Tornado's 'multipart/form-data' parser encounters certain errors,
it logs a warning but continues trying to parse the remainder of the
data. This allows remote attackers to generate an extremely high volume
of logs, constituting a DoS attack. This DoS is compounded by the fact
that the logging subsystem is synchronous.


For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 5.1.1-4+deb10u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-tornado packages.
