Ubuntu 20.04 LTS : Django vulnerabilities (USN-4479-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 140177

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4479-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that Django, when used with Python 3.7 or higher, incorrectly handled directory permissions. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information, or escalate permissions.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected python3-django package.
