3. Description:

Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and a clean, pragmatic design. It focuses on automating as much as possible and adhering to the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle.

An information-exposure flaw was found in the Django date filter. If an application allowed users to provide non-validated date formats, a malicious end user could expose application-settings data by providing the relevant applications-settings key instead of a valid date format. (CVE-2015-8213)

Red Hat would like to thank the Django project for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Ryan Butterfield as the original reporter.

All python-django users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct this issue.
