CVE-2026-103262

CVE-2026-103262 · Tornado before 6.5.9 Denial of Service via CurlAsyncHTTPClient

This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.

Tornado versions before 6.5.9 contain an unbounded memory accumulation vulnerability in CurlAsyncHTTPClient that allows remote attackers to cause denial of service by sending a compressed response. Attackers can send a gzip-encoded decompression bomb that accumulates in memory without size limits, causing the application process to be killed by out-of-memory conditions.
