Package : python-django
Version : 1.7.11-1+deb8u9
CVE IDs : CVE-2020-13254 CVE-2020-13596

It was discovered that there were two issues in Django, the Python
web development framework:

  • CVE-2020-13254: Potential a data leakage via malformed memcached
    keys.

    In cases where a memcached backend does not perform key validation,
    passing malformed cache keys could result in a key collision, and
    potential data leakage. In order to avoid this vulnerability, key
    validation is added to the memcached cache backends.

  • CVE-2020-13596: Possible XSS via admin ForeignKeyRawIdWidget.

    Query parameters to the admin ForeignKeyRawIdWidget were not
    properly URL encoded, posing an XSS attack vector.
    ForeignKeyRawIdWidget now ensures query parameters are correctly
    URL encoded.

1.7.11-1+deb8u3 and 1.7.11-1+deb8u8 via the fixes for CVE-2018-7537
and CVE-2019-19844 respectfully.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this issue has been fixed in python-django version
