It was discovered that there was a web cache poisoning attack in Django, a popular Python-based web development framework.

This was caused by the unsafe handling of ‘;’ characters in Python’s urllib.parse.parse_qsl method which had been backported to Django’s codebase to fix some other security issues in the past.

For Debian 9 ‘Stretch’, this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.10.7-2+deb9u11.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages.

For the detailed security status of python-django please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/python-django
