Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS : Django vulnerabilities (USN-4975-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 150144

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4975-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that the Django URLValidator function incorrectly handled newlines and tabs. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a header injection attack. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.10, and Ubuntu 21.04. (CVE-2021-32052)

 Rasmus Lerchedahl Petersen and Rasmus Wriedt Larsen discovered that Django incorrectly handled path sanitation in admindocs. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to determine the existence of arbitrary files and in certain configurations obtain their contents. (CVE-2021-33203)

 It was discovered that Django incorrectly handled IPv4 addresses with leading zeros. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a wide variety of attacks, including bypassing certain access restrictions. (CVE-2021-33571)

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 python-django, python-django-common and / or python3-django packages.
