{"id":"MGASA-2015-0293","summary":"Updated python-django and python-django14 packages fix security vulnerabilities","details":"Eric Peterson and Lin Hua Cheng discovered that a new empty record used to be\ncreated in the session storage every time a session was accessed and an\nunknown session key was provided in the request cookie. This could allow\nremote attackers to saturate the session store or cause other users' session\nrecords to be evicted (CVE-2015-5143).\n\nSjoerd Job Postmus discovered that some built-in validators did not properly\nreject newlines in input values. This could allow remote attackers to inject\nheaders in emails and HTTP responses (CVE-2015-5144).\n\ndjango.core.validators.URLValidator included a regular expression that was\nextremely slow to evaluate against certain inputs. This regular expression has\nbeen simplified and optimized (CVE-2015-5145).\n\nThe Mageia 4 python-django14 and Mageia 5 python-django packages have been\nupdated to versions 1.4.21 and 1.8.3 respectively to fix these issues.  Note\nthat the CVE-2015-5145 issue only affected python-django.\n\nNote: the python-django package in Mageia 4, based on Django 1.5.9, is no\nlonger supported.  Users of this package are advised to migrate to Mageia 5.\n","modified":"2026-02-04T03:57:38.986194Z","published":"2015-07-28T21:01:59Z","related":["CVE-2015-5143","CVE-2015-5144","CVE-2015-5145"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2015-0293.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16334"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2015/jul/08/security-releases/"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.debian.org/security/2015/dsa-3305"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"python-django14","ecosystem":"Mageia:4","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/python-django14?arch=source&distro=mageia-4"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.4.21-1.mga4"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2015-0293.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python-django","ecosystem":"Mageia:5","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/python-django?arch=source&distro=mageia-5"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.8.3-1.mga5"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2015-0293.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","credits":[{"name":"Mageia","contact":["https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packages_Security_Team"],"type":"COORDINATOR"}]}
