Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Debian 11 / 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5465 advisory.

Seokchan Yoon discovered that missing sanitising in the email and URL validators of Django, a Python web development framework, could result in denial of service. For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 2:2.2.28-1~deb11u2. This update also addresses CVE-2023-23969, CVE-2023-31047 and CVE-2023-24580. For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 3:3.2.19-1+deb12u1. We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages. For the detailed security status of python-django please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security- tracker.debian.org/tracker/python-django

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 the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 3
