Affected: Homebrew: jupyterlab

## Description

### Summary

`parse_multipart_form_data` (httputil.py:34) calls `data.split(b"--"+boundary+b"\r\n")` **before** the `max_parts` check (:35). A 600KB body with 100k parts creates a 100k-element transient list first, then rejects transient memory amplification (each split element is a copy). Pre-auth HTTP DoS.

### Root cause

```python parts = data[:final_boundary_index].split(b"--" + boundary + b"\r\n") # :34 huge list first if len(parts) > config.max_parts: # :35 check after raise HTTPInputError("multipart/form-data has too many parts") ```

### PoC

gist: https://gist.github.com/afldl/649861f25d39b53b7edbe0298e171617 `poc.py` + `output.txt` (100k parts from 600KB transient list).

### Fix

Count separators without materializing the list (e.g. `data.count(b"--"+boundary)` first).

Affected: CleanStart: airflow-3

Security vulnerability affects the airflow-3 package. Tornado before 6.

Tornado before 6.5.8 contains a memory amplification vulnerability in parse_multipart_form_data that splits multipart data before validating the max_parts limit. Attackers can send crafted multipart requests with many parts to create large transient lists, exhausting server memory and causing denial of service.

Affected: openEuler:24.03-LTS-SP1: python-tornado

Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library, originally developed at FriendFeed. By using non-blocking network I/O, Tornado can scale to tens of thousands of open connections, making it ideal for long polling, WebSockets, and other applications that require a long-lived connection to each user. Security Fix(es):

Tornado before 6.3.3 contains an HTTP request smuggling vulnerability due to improper parsing of Content-Length headers accepting non-standard characters. Attackers can send crafted HTTP requests with these characters to bypass proxy validation and smuggle requests when deployed behind certain proxies.(CVE-2023-54397)

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.(CVE-2024-14029)

Tornado before 6.4.1 contains a CRLF injection vulnerability in CurlAsyncHTTPClient that fails to reject carriage return and line feed characters in request headers. Attackers can inject CRLF sequences into header values to inject arbitrary headers or construct entirely new HTTP requests.(CVE-2024-58384)
