high Nessus Plugin ID 165680

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5653-1 advisory.

 Benjamin Balder Bach discovered that Django incorrectly handled certain internationalized URLs. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Django to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected python3-django package.
