The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 / 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6888-1 advisory.
Elias Myllymki discovered that Django incorrectly handled certain inputs with a large number of brackets. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Django to consume resources or stop responding, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-38875)
It was discovered that Django incorrectly handled authenticating users with unusable passwords. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a timing attack and enumerate users. (CVE-2024-39329)
Josh Schneier discovered that Django incorrectly handled file path validation when the storage class is being derived. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to save files into arbitrary directories.
(CVE-2024-39330)
It was discovered that Django incorrectly handled certain long strings that included a specific set of characters. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Django to consume resources or stop responding, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-39614)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
