Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: python-django security update

Notes

Topic
Updated python-django packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 6.0. 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.
Details
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 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. All python-django users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.
