Advisory:
========================

Updated python-django packages fix security vulnerabilities:

Orange Tsai discovered that the bundled administrative interface of django
could expose supposedly-hidden information via its history log (CVE-2013-0305).

Mozilla discovered that an attacker can abuse django's tracking of the number
of forms in a formset to cause a denial-of-service attack due to extreme memory
consumption (CVE-2013-0306).

Comment 5 Dave Hodgins 2013-02-28 05:31:23 CET
No poc, so just testing update with ...
# urpmi python-django
$ mkdir django
$ cd django
$ django-admin.py startproject mysite
$ cd mysite
$ python manage.py runserver 8080
Then browse to http://127.0.0.1:8080 in a web browser.

Testing complete on Mageia 2 i586 and x86_64.

Could someone from the sysadmin team push the srpm
python-django-1.3.7-1.mga2.src.rpm
from Mageia 2 Core Updates Testing to Core Updates.
