Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: python-django security update

Notes

Topic
Updated python-django packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat OpenStack 3.0. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.
Details
Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and a clean, pragmatic design. It focuses on automating as much as possible and adhering to the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle. It was discovered that the django.utils.http.is_safe_url() function considered any URL that used a scheme other than HTTP or HTTPS (for example, "javascript:") as safe. An attacker could potentially use this flaw to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2013-6044) A directory traversal flaw was found in Django's "ssi" template tag, which takes a file path as input and outputs that file's contents. An attacker able to alter templates that made use of the "ssi" tag on a site could use this flaw to access any local files accessible to Django. (CVE-2013-4315) Red Hat would like to thank James Bennett of Django for reporting CVE-2013-4315. All python-django users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct these issues.
