- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4030-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Chris Lamb January 23, 2025 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : python-django Version : 2:2.2.28-1~deb11u5 CVE ID : CVE-2024-56374 Debian Bug : 1093049

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

The lack of upper-bound limit enforcement in IPv6 validation could have led to a potential denial-of-service attack. The undocumented and private clean_ipv6_address and is_valid_ipv6_address functions were vulnerable, as was the GenericIPAddressField form field.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 2:2.2.28-1~deb11u5.

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

Solution

Upgrade the python-django-doc packages.
