Request Smuggling via MaxBytesHandler in Python Tornado
CVE-2022-41721 Published on January 13, 2023

Request smuggling due to improper request handling in golang.org/x/net/http2/h2c
A request smuggling attack is possible when using MaxBytesHandler. When using MaxBytesHandler, the body of an HTTP request is not fully consumed. When the server attempts to read HTTP2 frames from the connection, it will instead be reading the body of the HTTP request, which could be attacker-manipulated to represent arbitrary HTTP2 requests.
