Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Django, a high-level Python web development framework. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :
CVE-2014-0480 Florian Apolloner discovered that in certain situations, URL reversing could generate scheme-relative URLs which could unexpectedly redirect a user to a different host, leading to phishing attacks.
CVE-2014-0481 David Wilson reported a file upload denial of service vulnerability. Django’s file upload handling in its default configuration may degrade to producing a huge number of os.stat()
system calls when a duplicate filename is uploaded. A remote attacker with the ability to upload files can cause poor performance in the upload handler, eventually causing it to become very slow.
CVE-2014-0482 David Greisen discovered that under some circumstances, the use of the RemoteUserMiddleware middleware and the RemoteUserBackend authentication backend could result in one user receiving another user’s session, if a change to the REMOTE_USER header occurred without corresponding logout/login actions.
CVE-2014-0483 Collin Anderson discovered that it is possible to reveal any field’s data by modifying the ‘popup’ and ‘to_field’ parameters of the query string on an admin change form page. A user with access to the admin interface, and with sufficient knowledge of model structure and the appropriate URLs, could construct popup views which would display the values of non-relationship fields, including fields the application developer had not intended to expose in such a fashion.
