Tornado: Out-of-bounds memory access in C extension

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 01.06.2026 Published: 14.07.2026 Updated: 15.07.2026

Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library. Prior to 6.5.6, the optional native extension tornado.speedups implemented websocket_mask without validating that the mask argument is exactly four bytes, allowing the C function to read up to three bytes beyond the provided buffer when reached through Tornado XSRF token decoding with the native extension active. This issue is fixed in version 6.5.6.
