Debian: DLA-4030-1 moderate: python-django denial of service

debian lts
Calendar Grey January 23, 2025
Dist Debian Esm H88
Upgrade Django on Debian systems to protect against CVE-2024-56374. Follow the outlined steps to check versions, update packages, and ensure security.
It was discovered that there was potential Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability in Django, the Python-based web development framework

Summary

The lack of upper-bound limit enforcement in IPv6 validation could
have led to a potential denial-of-service attack. The undocumented
and private clean_ipv6_address and is_valid_ipv6_address functions
were vulnerable, as was the GenericIPAddressField form field.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
2:2.2.28-1~deb11u5.

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:
