    Package        : python-django
    Version        : 2:2.2.28-1~deb11u11
    CVE IDs        : CVE-2024-39614 CVE-2024-45231 CVE-2024-42005 CVE-2024-41991 CVE-2024-39329 CVE-2024-41989
    CVE-2024-39330 CVE-2025-6069

    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Django, the Python-based
    web development framework:

    - - CVE-2024-39614: Fix a potential denial-of-service in
      django.utils.translation.get_supported_language_variant. This
      method was subject to a potential DoS attack when used with very
      long strings containing specific characters. To mitigate this
      vulnerability, the language code provided to
      get_supported_language_variant is now parsed up to a maximum length
      of 500 characters.

    - - CVE-2024-45231: Potential user email enumeration via response
      status on password reset. Due to unhandled email sending failures,
      the django.contrib.auth.forms.PasswordResetForm class allowed
      remote attackers to enumerate user emails by issuing password reset
      requests and observing the outcomes. To mitigate this risk,
      exceptions occurring during password reset email sending are now
      handled and logged using the django.contrib.auth logger.

    - - CVE-2024-42005: Potential SQL injection in QuerySet.values() and
      values_list(). QuerySet.values() and values_list() methods on
      models with a JSONField are subject to SQL injection in column
      aliases via a crafted JSON object key as a passed *arg.

    - - CVE-2024-41991: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in
      django.utils.html.urlize() and AdminURLFieldWidget. The urlize and
      urlizetrunc template filters, and the AdminURLFieldWidget widget,
      are subject to a potential denial-of-service attack via certain
      inputs with a very large number of Unicode characters.

    - - CVE-2024-39329: Avoid a username enumeration vulnerability through
      timing difference for users with unusable password. The
      authenticate method of django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend
      method allowed remote attackers to enumerate users via a timing
      attack involving login requests for users with unusable passwords.

    - - CVE-2024-41989: Memory exhaustion in django.utils.numberformat. The
      floatformat template filter is subject to significant memory
      consumption when given a string representation of a number in
      scientific notation with a large exponent.

    - - CVE-2024-39330: Address a potential directory-traversal in
      django.core.files.storage.Storage.save. Derived classes of this
      method's base class which override generate_filename without
      replicating the file path validations existing in the parent class
      allowed for potential directory-traversal via certain inputs when
      calling save(). Built-in Storage sub-classes were not affected by
      this vulnerability.

    In addition, the fix for CVE-2025-6069 in the python3.9 source
    package (released as part of a suite of updates in DLA 4445-1) that
    modified the html.parser.HTMLParser class in such a way that changed
    the behaviour of Django's strip_tags() method in some edge cases that
    were tested by Django's testsuite. As a result of this regression,
    update the testsuite for the new expected results.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    2:2.2.28-1~deb11u11.

    We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages.
