vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7501-1 advisory.

    Elias Myllymki discovered that Django incorrectly handled stripping large sequences of incomplete HTML
    tags. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Django to consume resources, leading to a
    denial of service.

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
