Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in python-tornado, a scalable, non-blocking Python web framework and asynchronous networking library.

CVE-2025-67724

Custom reason phrases can cause multiple vulnerabilities (like XSS,
header injection, ...) due to being used unescaped in HTTP headers.

CVE-2025-67725

A single maliciously crafted HTTP request can cause a possible DoS
due to quadratic performance of repeated header lines.

CVE-2025-67726

An inefficient algorithm when parsing parameters for HTTP header
values can potentially cause a DoS.


For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 5.1.1-4+deb10u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-tornado packages.
