Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2025-67725:
Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library. In versions 6.5.2 and below, a
single maliciously crafted HTTP request can block the server's event loop for an extended period, caused
by the HTTPHeaders.add method. The function accumulates values using string concatenation when the same
header name is repeated, causing a Denial of Service (DoS). Due to Python string immutability, each
concatenation copies the entire string, resulting in O(n) time complexity. The severity can vary from
high if max_header_size has been increased from its default, to low if it has its default value of 64KB.
This issue is fixed in version 6.5.3.
CVE-2025-67726:
Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library. Versions 6.5.2 and below use an
inefficient algorithm when parsing parameters for HTTP header values, potentially causing a DoS. The
_parseparam function in httputil.py is used to parse specific HTTP header values, such as those in
multipart/form-data and repeatedly calls string.count() within a nested loop while processing quoted
semicolons. If an attacker sends a request with a large number of maliciously crafted parameters in a
Content-Disposition header, the server's CPU usage increases quadratically (O(n)) during parsing. Due to
Tornado's single event loop architecture, a single malicious request can cause the entire server to become
unresponsive for an extended period. This issue is fixed in version 6.5.3.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
