The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-2169-2 advisory.

USN-2169-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Django. The upstream security patch for CVE-2014-0472 introduced a     regression for certain applications. This update fixes the problem.

Original advisory details:

Benjamin Bach discovered that Django incorrectly handled dotted Python

paths when using the reverse() function. An attacker could use this issue

to cause Django to import arbitrary modules from the Python path, resulting

in possible code execution. (CVE-2014-0472)

Paul McMillan discovered that Django incorrectly cached certain pages that

contained CSRF cookies. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to obtain

a valid cookie and perform attacks which bypass the CSRF restrictions.

(CVE-2014-0473)

Michael Koziarski discovered that Django did not always perform explicit

conversion of certain fields when using a MySQL database. An attacker

could possibly use this issue to obtain unexpected results. (CVE-2014-0474)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
