RHEL 6 : django (Unpatched Vulnerability)
high Nessus Plugin ID 198748
Synopsis
The remote Red Hat 6 host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities that will not be patched.Description
The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.- python-django: DNS rebinding vulnerability when 'DEBUG=True' (CVE-2016-9014)
- Django before 1.4.21, 1.5.x through 1.6.x, 1.7.x before 1.7.9, and 1.8.x before 1.8.3 uses an incorrect regular expression, which allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks via a newline character in an (1) email message to the EmailValidator, a (2) URL to the URLValidator, or unspecified vectors to the (3) validate_ipv4_address or (4) validate_slug validator.
(CVE-2015-5144)
- Django 1.10 before 1.10.7, 1.9 before 1.9.13, and 1.8 before 1.8.18 relies on user input in some cases to redirect the user to an on success URL. The security check for these redirects (namely ``django.utils.http.is_safe_url()``) considered some numeric URLs safe when they shouldn't be, aka an open redirect vulnerability. Also, if a developer relies on ``is_safe_url()`` to provide safe redirect targets and puts such a URL into a link, they could suffer from an XSS attack. (CVE-2017-7233)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.
