Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was a regression in the latest update to Django, the Python web development framework. The upstream fix for CVE-2020-13254 to address data leakages via malformed memcached keys could, in some situations, cause a traceback.

Please see <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/31654> for more information.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this issue has been fixed in python-django version 1.7.11-1+deb8u10.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
