Title:	Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-1297-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'python-django' package(s) announced via the USN-1297-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'python-django' package(s) announced via the USN-1297-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: 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) Affected Software/OS: 'python-django' package(s) on Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 10.10, Ubuntu 11.04, Ubuntu 11.10. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P
