Package : python-django
Version : 1:1.10.7-2+deb9u15
CVE IDs : CVE-2022-22818 & CVE-2022-23833
Debian Bug : #1004752

It was discovered that there were two vulnerabilities in Django, a
popular Python-based web development framework:

• CVE-2022-22818: Possible XSS via {% debug %} template tag.

  The {% debug %} template tag didn't properly encode the current context,
  posing an XSS attack vector.

  In order to avoid this vulnerability, {% debug %} no longer outputs
  information when the DEBUG setting is False, and it ensures all context
  variables are correctly escaped when the DEBUG setting is True.

• CVE-2022-23833: Denial-of-service possibility in file uploads

  Passing certain inputs to multipart forms could result in an
  infinite loop when parsing files.

For Debian 9 "Stretch", these problems have been fixed in version
1:1.10.7-2+deb9u15.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages.
