### GitHub Vulnerability Alerts
#### [CVE-2025-47287](https://redirect.github.com/tornadoweb/tornado/security/advisories/GHSA-7cx3-6m66-7c5m)
### Summary
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.
### Affected versions
All versions of Tornado prior to 6.5.0 are affected. The vulnerable parser is enabled by default.
### Solution
Upgrade to Tornado version 6.5. In the meantime, risk can be mitigated by blocking `Content-Type: multipart/form-data` in a proxy.
