Several vulnerabilities were discovered
in Django, a high-level Python web development framework:

CVE-2015-5143
Eric Peterson and Lin Hua Cheng discovered that a new empty record
used to be created in the session storage every time a session was
accessed and an unknown session key was provided in the request
cookie. This could allow remote attackers to saturate the session
store or cause other users
