    Package        : python-tornado
    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-47287

    It was discovered that the Tornado Python web framework performed
    excessive logging when parsing some multipart/form-data requests, which
    could result in denial of service.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in
    version 6.2.0-3+deb12u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your python-tornado packages.

    For the detailed security status of python-tornado please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/python-tornado
