Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: python-django security update

Notes

Topic
Updated python-django packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 6. Red Hat Product Security 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. A flaw was found in the Django session backends whereby an unauthenticated attacker could cause session records to be created in the configured session store, leading to a Denial of Service. (CVE-2015-5143) Red Hat would like to thank the upstream Django project for reporting this issue. All python-django users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct these issues.
