Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 6.0 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 storeor cause other users' 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.
