    Version        : 3:3.2.25-0+deb12u6
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-77050 CVE-2026-87975

    Two vulnerabilities were discovered in Django, the popular Python
    web-development framework.

    CVE-2026-77050

        Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in
        get_supported_language_variant. This method was subject to a
        potential denial-of-service attack when processing many distinct
        and very long language codes. Language codes were used as keys in
        an in-memory cache before their length was limited, potentially
        consuming excessive process memory. To mitigate this
        vulnerability, language codes longer than 500 characters are now
        rejected or truncated before the cached lookup.

    CVE-2026-87975

        Prevent privilege abuse in model formsets with editable primary
        keys. Model formsets incorrectly allowed forged POST data to
        either delete instances outside the limiting queryset or create
        instances via edit-only formsets when the model's primary key
        could be set through the form, such as with a OneToOneField (or
        parent link used as the primary key of an inline formset's
        model), or a natural or UUID primary key included in the form's
        fields. Models using the default BigAutoField primary key were
        not affected.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version
    3:3.2.25-0+deb12u6.

    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:
