-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:276-1 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : python-django Date : December 8, 2009 Affected: 2008.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in python-django: The Admin media handler in core/servers/basehttp.py in Django 1.0 and 0.96 does not properly map URL requests to expected static media files, which allows remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks and read arbitrary files via a crafted URL (CVE-2009-2659). Algorithmic complexity vulnerability in the forms library in Django 1.0 before 1.0.4 and 1.1 before 1.1.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted (1) EmailField (email address) or (2) URLField (URL) that triggers a large amount of backtracking in a regular expression (CVE-2009-3695). The versions of Django shipping with Mandriva Linux have been updated to the latest patched version that include the fix for this issue. In addition, they provide other bug fixes. Update: Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for Corporate products. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2659 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-3695 http://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2009/jul/28/security/ http://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2009/oct/09/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 2008.0: 607821f203acf4d08d3c393cd55df0dd 2008.0/i586/python-django-1.0.4-0.1mdv2008.0.noarch.rpm 8c13586129f4f0282f3b0d0a57743f48 2008.0/SRPMS/python-django-1.0.4-0.1mdv2008.0.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2008.0/X86_64: 7151a8cd8a22d1777e83a1b4d4c05400 2008.0/x86_64/python-django-1.0.4-0.1mdv2008.0.noarch.rpm 8c13586129f4f0282f3b0d0a57743f48 2008.0/SRPMS/python-django-1.0.4-0.1mdv2008.0.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
