Title:	Ubuntu USN-1297-1 (python-django)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to python-django announced via advisory USN-1297-1. Details: Pall McMillan discovered that Django used the root namespace when storing cached session data. A remote attacker could exploit this to modify sessions. (CVE-2011-4136) Paul McMillan discovered that Django would not timeout on arbitrary URLs when the application used URLFields. This could be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via resource exhaustion. (CVE-2011-4137) Paul McMillan discovered that while Django would check the validity of a URL via a HEAD request, it would instead use a GET request for the target of a redirect. This could potentially be used to trigger arbitrary GET requests via a crafted Location header. (CVE-2011-4138) It was discovered that Django would sometimes use a request's HTTP Host header to construct a full URL. A remote attacker could exploit this to conduct host header cache poisoning attacks via a crafted request. (CVE-2011-4139) Solution: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 11.10: python-django 1.3-2ubuntu1.1 Ubuntu 11.04: python-django 1.2.5-1ubuntu1.1 Ubuntu 10.10: python-django 1.2.3-1ubuntu0.2.10.10.3 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: python-django 1.1.1-2ubuntu1.4 http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-1297-1 CVSS Score: 5.8 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:H/Au:NR/C:N/I:P/A:P
