Simon Charette discovered that the password reset functionality in Django used a Unicode case insensitive query to retrieve accounts associated with an email address. An attacker could possibly use this to obtain password reset tokens and hijack accounts.

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.
