Hi, thank you for maintaining this project!
I'm writing to suggest upgrading the dependency on Tornado to version 6.4.2, which includes a fix for a recently disclosed security vulnerability:
CVE-2024-7592: Previous versions of Tornado had a performance issue in cookie header parsing, which could result in quadratic time complexity. This allowed a potential denial-of-service (DoS) attack by sending specially crafted requests that consume excessive CPU and block the event loop.
See Tornado’s release notes for more details:
🔗 v6.4.2 Release Note
"Parsing of the cookie header is now much more efficient. The older algorithm sometimes had quadratic performance which allowed for a denial-of-service attack..."
To improve performance and ensure application security, I strongly recommend upgrading to the latest version.
Thanks again for your great work! 🙏
