 Package : python-django Version : 1:1.11.29-1+deb10u9 CVE ID : CVE-2023-36053 Debian Bug : 1040225

 It was discovered that there was a potential denial of service attack in Django, the popular Python-based web development framework.

 EmailValidator and URLValidator were subject to potential regular expression denial of service attack via a very large number of domain name labels of emails and URLs.

 For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.11.29-1+deb10u9.

 We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages.
