Package : python-django Version : 2:2.2.28-1~deb11u6 CVE ID : CVE-2025-26699 Debian Bug : 1099682

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

The issue was situated in the wrap() method of the django.utils.text module. This method and the wordwrap template filter were subject to a potential DoS attack when used with very long strings.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 2:2.2.28-1~deb11u6.

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
