Synopsis

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

Description

The remote openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2023:0057-1 advisory.

- In Django 3.2 before 3.2.16, 4.0 before 4.0.8, and 4.1 before 4.1.2, internationalized URLs were subject to a potential denial of service attack via the locale parameter, which is treated as a regular expression. (CVE-2022-41323)

- In Django 3.2 before 3.2.17, 4.0 before 4.0.9, and 4.1 before 4.1.6, the parsed values of Accept-Language headers are cached in order to avoid repetitive parsing. This leads to a potential denial-of-service vector via excessive memory usage if the raw value of Accept-Language headers is very large.
(CVE-2023-23969)

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.
