=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 19.10

Summary:

Django accounts could be hijacked through password reset requests.

Software Description:
- python-django: High-level Python web development framework

Details:

Simon Charette discovered that the password reset functionality in

associated with an email address. An attacker could possibly use this
to obtain password reset tokens and hijack accounts.
