1. Summary:

An update for python-django is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
OpenStack Platform 5.0 (Icehouse) for RHEL 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 (Icehouse) for RHEL 7 - noarch

3. Description:

Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid
development and a clean, pragmatic design. It focuses on automating as much
as possible and adhering to the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle.

Security Fix(es):

* A CSRF flaw was found in Django, where an interaction between Google
Analytics and Django's cookie parsing could allow an attacker to set
arbitrary cookies leading to a bypass of CSRF protection. In this update,
the parser for ''request.COOKIES'' has been simplified to better match
browser behavior and to mitigate this attack. ''request.COOKIES'' may now
contain cookies that are invalid according to RFC 6265 but are possible to
set using ''document.cookie''. (CVE-2016-7401)

Red Hat would like to thank the upstream Django project for reporting this
issue.
