RedHat: RHSA-2017-3093:01 Moderate: python-django security update
Summary
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 redirect flaw, where the is_safe_url() function did not correctly
sanitize numeric-URL user input, was found in python-django. A remote
attacker could exploit this flaw to perform XSS attacks against the
OpenStack dashboard. (CVE-2017-7233)
Red Hat would like to thank the Django project for reporting this issue.
