    Package        : python-django
    Version        : 2:2.2.28-1~deb11u4
    CVE ID         : CVE-2024-6923

    The fix for CVE-2024-6923 in the python3.9 source package which was
    released as part of a suite of updates in DLA 3980-1 [0] introduced
    safer processing of input in the email module to order to increase
    the security around email header injection attacks.

    This change inadvertedly broke sending emails when using lazy
    translation strings in the python-django package, however, resulting
    in the package no longer building from source.

    As the previous behaviour of Python's email module can be enabled
    by passing the strict=False flag, the python-django package now does
    so  Django detects and/or encodes newlines in its handling of
    outbound emails elsewhere.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this change has been made in version
    2:2.2.28-1~deb11u4.

    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
