Vulnerability Title
tornado AsyncHTTPClient accumulates decompressed chunks without size limit (gzip bomb)
Source: NVD (National Vulnerability Database)
Vulnerability Description
Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library. Prior to 6.5.6, Tornado gzip decompression routines processed limited-size chunks but did not enforce an overall limit on accumulated decompressed chunks, allowing a malicious server accessed by SimpleAsyncHTTPClient or an HTTPServer configured with decompress_request=True to consume effectively unlimited memory. This issue is fixed in version 6.5.6.
