Debian Buster DLA-2675-1 Critical: Django Directory Traversal Issue

Ubuntu security warns regarding python-django patch to address a remote code execution vulnerability on March 15, 2022.
It was discovered that there was potential directory-traversal vulnerability in Django, a popular Python-based web development framework

Summary

The MultiPartParser, UploadedFile and FieldFile classes allowed
directory-traversal via uploaded files with suitably crafted file
names. In order to mitigate this risk, stricter basename and path
sanitation is now applied. Specifically, empty file names and paths
with dot segments are rejected.

For Debian 9 "Stretch", this problem has been fixed in version
1:1.10.7-2+deb9u13.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages.

For the detailed security status of python-django please refer to
its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/python-django
