-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2758-1 security@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.debian.org/security/ Salvatore Bonaccorso September 17, 2013 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : python-django Vulnerability : denial of service Problem type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-2013-1443 Debian Bug : 723043 It was discovered that python-django, a high-level Python web develompent framework, is prone to a denial of service vulnerability via large passwords. A non-authenticated remote attacker could mount a denial of service by submitting arbitrarily large passwords, tying up server resources in the expensive computation of the corresponding hashes to verify the password. For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.3-3+squeeze8. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.5-1+deb7u4. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.5.4-1. We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages.
