Fedora 42: 2025-5320059879 critical: python-tornado DoS fix
fedora
May 31, 2025
This update contains the backported fix for CVE-2024-52804 (cookie parsing DoS vuln).
Summary
Tornado is an open source version of the scalable, non-blocking web
server and tools.
The framework is distinct from most mainstream web server frameworks
(and certainly most Python frameworks) because it is non-blocking and
reasonably fast. Because it is non-blocking and uses epoll, it can
handle thousands of simultaneous standing connections, which means it is
ideal for real-time web services.

This update contains the backported fix for CVE-2024-52804 (cookie parsing DoS vuln).
