It was discovered that Django incorrectly handled formatting certain numbers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Django to consume resources, leading to a denial of service.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
