Description
CVE-2024-52804 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in the HTTP cookie parsing algorithm of Snakeviz's Tornado component. Versions of Snakeviz from 2.2.0 up to but not including 2.2.2_1 are affected. The vulnerability arises from quadratic time complexity in cookie parsing, which can cause excessive CPU usage and block the event loop thread, impacting request processing.
