> USN-8952-3: Tornado regression

[LANGUAGE: EN]
USN-8952-2 fixed a regression in Tornado that broke static file serving
for applications that subclass Tornado's StaticFileHandler, such as
Jupyter. Unfortunately, that update's incomplete fix could introduce a regression by rejecting symlinks into system
directories like /usr/share, which distribution packages use for their
JavaScript and fonts, causing web UIs to return 403 errors. This update
fixes the problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Original advisory details:
It was discovered that Tornado did not properly handle certain HTTP requests
and network inputs. An attacker could possibly use these issues to cause a
denial of service, expose sensitive information, or bypass access controls.
