CVE-2024-14029: Tornado before 6.4.1 ignores duplicate Transfer-Encoding: chunked head ...

Severity: Critical

CVSS Score: 7.5

Tornado before 6.4.1 ignores duplicate Transfer-Encoding: chunked headers, treating requests as having no message body and parsing the chunked body as a subsequent request. Attackers can exploit this inconsistency when Tornado is deployed behind proxies to perform HTTP request smuggling, enabling access control bypass, cache poisoning, or connection desynchronization.
