Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'python-django' package(s) announced via the DSA-3305-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Django, a high-level Python web development framework:

CVE-2015-5143

Eric Peterson and Lin Hua Cheng discovered that a new empty record used to be created in the session storage every time a session was accessed and an unknown session key was provided in the request cookie. This could allow remote attackers to saturate the session store or cause other users' session records to be evicted.

CVE-2015-5144

Sjoerd Job Postmus discovered that some built-in validators did not properly reject newlines in input values. This could allow remote attackers to inject headers in emails and HTTP responses.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 1.4.5-1+deb7u12.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 1.7.7-1+deb8u1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'python-django' package(s) on Debian 7, Debian 8.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
