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.

 

Security Fix(es):

 

* A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in Django. An attacker could

exploit the unsafe usage of JavaScript's Element.innerHTML to forge content

in the admin's add/change related popup. Element.textContent is now used to

prevent XSS data execution. (CVE-2016-6186)

 

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

issue.
