Ubuntu Security Notice USN-4879-1 highlights a vulnerability in python-flask; users of Ubuntu 20.04 should apply the update promptly.
Tornado is a scalable, non-blocking Python web framework and asynchronous networking library

Summary

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 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
6.1.0-1+deb11u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-tornado packages.
