Fedora has issued an advisory on May 21:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2012-May/081486.html

The solution is to upgrade to 2.2.1 (also needed in Cauldron).

Thanks Jani.

Advisory:
========================

Updated python-tornado package fixes security vulnerability:

CRLF injection vulnerability in the
tornado.web.RequestHandler.set_header function in Tornado before 2.2.1
allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct
HTTP response splitting attacks via crafted input (CVE-2012-2374).

Comment 3 claire robinson 2012-06-14 15:21:28 CEST
Testing complete x86_64 using the hello world example here: http://www.tornadoweb.org/

No PoC so just testing it works.

$ python helloworld.py

Verified by browsing to localhost:8888

Whiteboard: (none) => mga2-64-OK

Comment 4 Dave Hodgins 2012-06-15 04:29:29 CEST
Same testing completed on i586.

Could someone from the sysadmin team push the srpm
python-tornado-2.2.1-1.mga2.src.rpm
from Mageia 2 Core Updates Testing to Core Updates.
