    Package        : python-django     Version        : 2:2.2.28-1~deb11u3     CVE ID         : CVE-2024-53907

    It was discovered that there was a potential Denial of Service (DoS)     vulnerability, in Django, a popular Python-based web development     framework.

    The strip_tags() method and striptags template filter were subject to     a potential denial-of-service attack via certain inputs containing     large sequences of nested incomplete HTML entities.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version     2:2.2.28-1~deb11u3.

    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:
