Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2013.0283
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2013-0283)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'python-django' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2013-0283 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'python-django' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2013-0283 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Rainer Koirikivi discovered a directory traversal vulnerability with
'ssi' template tags in python-django, a high-level Python web development
framework. It was shown that the handling of the 'ALLOWED_INCLUDE_ROOTS'
setting, used to represent allowed prefixes for the {% ssi %} template
tag, is vulnerable to a directory traversal attack, by specifying a file
path which begins as the absolute path of a directory in
'ALLOWED_INCLUDE_ROOTS', and then uses relative paths to break free. To
exploit this vulnerability an attacker must be in a position to alter
templates on the site, or the site to be attacked must have one or more
templates making use of the 'ssi' tag, and must allow some form of
unsanitized user input to be used as an argument to the 'ssi' tag
(CVE-2013-4315).

Affected Software/OS:
'python-django' package(s) on Mageia 2.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0
