 jiangniao discovered that Django incorrectly handled the API to strip tags. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Django to consume resources, leading to a denial of service.

 Seokchan Yoon discovered that Django incorrectly handled HasKey lookups when using Oracle. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to inject arbitrary SQL code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.10. (CVE-2024-53908)
