Amazon Linux 2 Security Advisory: ALAS2-2026-3214
Advisory Released Date: 2026-04-01
Advisory Updated Date: 2026-04-01
Severity:
Important
Issue Overview:
Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library. In versions of Tornado prior to 6.5.5, the only limit on the number of parts in multipart/form-data is the max_body_size setting (default 100MB). Since parsing occurs synchronously on the main thread, this creates the possibility of denial-of-service due to the cost of parsing very large multipart bodies with many parts. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.5.5. (CVE-2026-31958)
