[SECURITY] [DLA 272-1] python-django security update

Package : python-django
Version : 1.2.3-3+squeeze13
CVE ID : CVE-2015-2317 CVE-2015-5143 CVE-2015-5144

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Django, a high-level Python web
development framework:

CVE-2015-2317

Daniel Chatfield discovered that python-django, a high-level Python
web development framework, incorrectly handled user-supplied redirect
URLs. A remote attacker could use this flaw to perform a cross-site
scripting attack.

CVE-2015-5143

Eric Peterson and Lin Hua Cheng discovered that a new empty record
used to be created in the session storage every time a session was
accessed and an unknown session key was provided in the request
cookie. This could allow remote attackers to saturate the session
store or cause other users' session records to be evicted.

CVE-2015-5144

Sjoerd Job Postmus discovered that some built-in validators did not
properly reject newlines in input values. This could allow remote
attackers to inject headers in emails and HTTP responses.

For the oldoldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.2.3-3+squeeze13.
