Enterprise Linux 7.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

3. Description:

 

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.

 

An information-exposure flaw was found in the Django date filter. If an

application allowed users to provide non-validated date formats, a

malicious end user could expose application-settings data by providing

the relevant applications-settings key instead of a valid date format.

(CVE-2015-8213)

 

Red Hat would like to thank the Django project for reporting this issue.

Upstream acknowledges Ryan Butterfield as the original reporter.
