Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.61530
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.
