The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6946-1 advisory.

It was discovered that Django incorrectly handled certain strings in floatformat function. An attacker     could possibly use this issue to cause a memory exhaustion. (CVE-2024-41989)

It was discovered that Django incorrectly handled very large inputs. An attacker could possibly use this     issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-41990)

It was discovered that Django in AdminURLFieldWidget incorrectly handled certain inputs with a very large     number of Unicode characters. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2024-41991)

It was discovered that Django incorrectly handled certain JSON objects. An attacker could possibly use     this issue to cause a potential SQL injection. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 24.04     LTS. (CVE-2024-42005)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
