Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Django, a high-level Python
web development framework. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:
- CVE-2015-0219
Jedediah Smith reported that the WSGI environ in Django does not
distinguish between headers containing dashes and headers containing
underscores. A remote attacker could use this flaw to spoof WSGI
headers.
- CVE-2015-0220
Mikko Ohtamaa discovered that the django.util.http.is_safe_url()
function in Django does not properly handle leading whitespaces in
user-supplied redirect URLs. A remote attacker could potentially use
this flaw to perform a cross-site scripting attack.
- CVE-2015-0221
Alex Gaynor reported a flaw in the way Django handles reading files
in the django.views.static.serve() view. A remote attacker could
possibly use this flaw to mount a denial of service via resource
consumption.
