framework, is using a badly chosen regular expression when validating
email addresses and URLs.  An attacker can use this to perform denial

python-django in the oldstable distribution (etch), is not affected by
this problem.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.0.2-1+lenny2.

For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.1-1.
