Debian 9: DLA-2906-2 Urgent: Python-Django CSRF and DoS Vulnerabilities

debian lts
Calendar Grey February 1, 2022
Dist Debian Esm H88
Critical flaws identified in Django necessitate prompt patches to defend against XSS and DoS threats. Immediate upgrades advised!
It was discovered that there were two vulnerabilities in Django, a popular Python-based web development framework: - CVE-2022-22818: Possible XSS via {% debug %} template tag

Summary

- CVE-2022-22818: Possible XSS via {% debug %} template tag.

The {% debug %} template tag didn't properly encode the current context,
posing an XSS attack vector.

In order to avoid this vulnerability, {% debug %} no longer outputs
information when the DEBUG setting is False, and it ensures all context
variables are correctly escaped when the DEBUG setting is True.

- CVE-2022-23833: Denial-of-service possibility in file uploads

Passing certain inputs to multipart forms could result in an
infinite loop when parsing files.

For Debian 9 "Stretch", these problems have been fixed in version
1:1.10.7-2+deb9u15.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages.
