Dist Debian Esm H88
Upgrade python-tornado in Debian for several critical fixes against custom reason phrase issues and potential DoS attacks.
Tornado is a scalable, non-blocking Python web framework and asynchronous networking library

Summary

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 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
6.1.0-1+deb11u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-tornado packages.
