Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for python-django.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:1324 advisory.

Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and a clean, pragmatic design. It focuses on automating as much as possible and adhering to the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle.

Security Fix(es):

* Incorrect HTTP detection with reverse-proxy connecting via HTTPS (CVE-2019-12781)

* backtracking in a regular expression in django.utils.text.Truncator leads to DoS (CVE-2019-14232)

* the behavior of the underlying HTMLParser leading to DoS (CVE-2019-14233)

* SQL injection possibility in key and index lookups for JSONField/HStoreField (CVE-2019-14234)

* Potential memory exhaustion in django.utils.encoding.uri_to_iri() (CVE-2019-14235)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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