"A Python library installed on the remote host is affected by a DoS vulnerability.");
script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"The detected version of the Tornado Python package, Tornado, is prior to 6.4.2.
It is therefore affected by a DoS vulnerability that happens When Tornado's multipart/form-data parser
encounters certain errors, it logs a warning but continues trying to parse the remainder of the data. This
allows remote attackers to generate an extremely high volume of logs, constituting a DoS attack. This DoS is
compounded by the fact that the logging subsystem is synchronous.:
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
