The packages python-django and python2-django before version 1.8.7-1 are vulnerable to information leakage. . Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201512-3 ======================================== Severity: Medium Date : 2015-12-05 CVE-ID : CVE-2015-8213 Package : python-django, python2-django Type : information leakage Remote : Yes Link : https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CVE Summary ====== The packages python-django and python2-django before version 1.8.7-1 are vulnerable to information leakage. Resolution ========= Upgrade to 1.8.7-1. # pacman -Syu "python-django> =1.8.7-1" # pacman -Syu "python2-django> =1.8.7-1" The problem has been fixed upstream in version 1.8.7 and 1.7.11. Workaround ========= None. Description ========== If an application allows users to specify an unvalidated format for dates and passes this format to the date filter, e.g. {{ last_updated|date:user_date_format }}, then a malicious user could obtain any secret in the application's settings by specifying a settings key instead of a date format. e.g. "SECRET_KEY" instead of "j/m/Y". To remedy this, the underlying function used by the date template filter, django.utils.formats.get_format(), now only allows accessing the date/time formatting settings. Impact ===== A remote attacker might be able to access sensitive information from a vulnerable application.

Red Hat: 2015:1767-01 Moderate: Python-Django Session Issues

Updated python-django packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. [More...]. ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: python-django security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2015:1767-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015:1767.html Issue date: 2015-09-10 CVE Names: CVE-2015-5963 CVE-2015-5964 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated python-django packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 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. It was found that Django incorrectly handled the session store. A session could be created by anonymously accessing the django.contrib.auth.views.logout view if it was not decorated correctly with django.contrib.auth.decorators.login_required. A remote attacker could use this flaw to fill up the session store or cause other users' session records to be evicted by requesting a large number of new sessions. (CVE-2015-5963) It was found that certain Django functions would, in certain circumstances, create empty sessions. A remote attacker could use this flaw to fill up the session store or cause otherusers' session records to be evicted by requesting a large number of new sessions. (CVE-2015-5964) Red Hat would like to thank the upstream Django project for reporting these issues. Upstream acknowledges Lin Hua Cheng as the original reporter of CVE-2015-5964. All python-django users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. For details on how to apply this update, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 5.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2015-0219 Jedediah Smith reported that the WSGI environ in Django does not distinguish between headers containing dashes and headers containing underscores. A remote attacker could use this flaw to spoof WSGI headers. CVE-2015-0220 Mikko Ohtamaa discovered that the django.util.http.is_safe_url() function in Django does not properly handle leading whitespaces in user-supplied redirect URLs. A remote attacker could potentially use this flaw to perform a cross-site scripting attack. CVE-2015-0221 Alex Gaynor reported a flaw in the way Django handles reading files in the django.views.static.serve() view. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to mount a denial of service via resource consumption. For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 1.4.5-1+deb7u9. For the upcoming stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 1.7.1-1.1. For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.7.1-1.1.
