Category: | Mandrake Local Security Checks |
Title: | Mandrake Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:185 (python-django) |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing an update to python-django announced via advisory MDVSA-2008:185. A cross-site request forgery vulnerability was discovered in Django that, if exploited, could be used to perform unrequested deletion or modification of data. Updated versions of Django will now discard posts from users whose sessions have expired, so data will need to be re-entered in these cases. The versions of Django shipping with Mandriva Linux have been updated to the latest patched versions that include the fix for this issue. In addition, they provide other bug fixes. Affected: 2007.1, 2008.0, 2008.1 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDVSA-2008:185 http://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2008/sep/02/security/ Risk factor : High |
