    descriptionSeveral vulnerabilities were discovered in Django, a high-level Python web development framework. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2014-0472 Benjamin Bach discovered that Django incorrectly handled dotted Python paths when using the reverse() URL resolver function. An attacker able to request a specially crafted view from a Django application could use this issue to cause Django to import arbitrary modules from the Python path, resulting in possible code execution. - CVE-2014-0473 Paul McMillan discovered that Django incorrectly cached certain pages that contained CSRF cookies. A remote attacker could use this flaw to acquire the CSRF token of a different user and bypass intended CSRF protections in a Django application. - CVE-2014-0474 Michael Koziarski discovered that certain Django model field classes did not properly perform type conversion on their arguments, which allows remote attackers to obtain unexpected results. - CVE-2014-1418 Michael Nelson, Natalia Bidart and James Westby discovered that cached data in Django could be served to a different session, or to a user with no session at all. An attacker may use this to retrieve private data or poison caches. - CVE-2014-3730 Peter Kuma and Gavin Wahl discovered that Django incorrectly validated certain malformed URLs from user input. An attacker may use this to cause unexpected redirects.

    descriptionStephen Stewart, Michael Nelson, Natalia Bidart and James Westby discovered that Django improperly removed Vary and Cache-Control headers from HTTP responses when replying to a request from an Internet Explorer or Chrome Frame client. An attacker may use this to retrieve private data or poison caches. This update removes workarounds for bugs in Internet Explorer 6 and 7. (CVE-2014-1418) Peter Kuma and Gavin Wahl discovered that Django did not correctly validate some malformed URLs, which are accepted by some browsers. An attacker may use this to cause unexpected redirects. An update has been provided for 12.04 LTS, 12.10, 13.10, and 14.04 LTS; this issue remains unfixed for 10.04 LTS as no

    descriptionMultiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in python-django : Django 1.4 before 1.4.13, 1.5 before 1.5.8, 1.6 before 1.6.5, and 1.7 before 1.7b4 does not properly include the (1) Vary: Cookie or (2) Cache-Control header in responses, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or poison the cache via a request from certain browsers (CVE-2014-1418). The django.util.http.is_safe_url function in Django 1.4 before 1.4.13, 1.5 before 1.5.8, 1.6 before 1.6.5, and 1.7 before 1.7b4 does not properly validate URLs, which allows remote attackers to conduct open redirect attacks via a malformed URL, as demonstrated by http:\djangoproject.com. (CVE-2014-3730). The django.core.urlresolvers.reverse function in Django before 1.4.11, 1.5.x before 1.5.6, 1.6.x before 1.6.3, and 1.7.x before 1.7 beta 2 allows remote attackers to import and execute arbitrary Python modules by leveraging a view that constructs URLs using user input and a dotted Python path. (CVE-2014-0472). The caching framework in Django before 1.4.11, 1.5.x before 1.5.6, 1.6.x before 1.6.3, and 1.7.x before 1.7 beta 2 reuses a cached CSRF token for all anonymous users, which allows remote attackers to bypass CSRF protections by reading the CSRF cookie for anonymous users (CVE-2014-0473). The (1) FilePathField, (2) GenericIPAddressField, and (3) IPAddressField model field classes in Django before 1.4.11, 1.5.x before 1.5.6, 1.6.x before 1.6.3, and 1.7.x before 1.7 beta 2 do not properly perform type conversion, which allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact and vectors, related to MySQL typecasting. (CVE-2014-0474). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
