Debian DLA-2906-1 : python-django - LTS security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 157324

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2906 advisory.

It was discovered that there were two vulnerabilities in Django, a popular Python-based web development framework: CVE-2022-22818 Possible XSS via {% debug %} template tag. The {% debug %} template tag didn't properly encode the current context, posing an XSS attack vector. In order to avoid this vulnerability, {% debug %} no longer outputs information when the DEBUG setting is False, and it ensures all context variables are correctly escaped when the DEBUG setting is True. CVE-2022-23833 Denial-of-service possibility in file uploads Passing certain inputs to multipart forms could result in an infinite loop when parsing files. For Debian 9 Stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1:1.10.7-2+deb9u15. We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages. Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at:

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian 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

Upgrade the python-django packages.

For Debian 9 Stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1
