A flaw was found in Tornado, a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library. Its gzip decompression routines process data in limited-size chunks but do not enforce an overall limit on the total accumulated decompressed data. This vulnerability allows a malicious server to consume effectively unlimited memory, leading to a denial of service, when accessed by a client using SimpleAsyncHTTPClient or an HTTPServer configured with decompress_request set to true.
