Summary
Tornado before 6.5.9 fails to limit the number of query string fields in HTTPServerRequest.init, allowing remote attackers to cause event-loop stalling by sending requests with thousands of query parameters. Attackers can send unauthenticated GET requests with unbounded query-string field counts to degrade response times for all clients sharing the same IOLoop.
