Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'python-django' package(s) announced via the DSA-2934-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Several 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.
