-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: python-django security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2013:1521-01 Product: Red Hat OpenStack Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-1521.html Issue date: 2013-11-14 CVE Names: CVE-2013-4315 CVE-2013-6044 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated python-django packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat OpenStack 3.0. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: OpenStack 3 - noarch 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. It was discovered that the django.utils.http.is_safe_url() function considered any URL that used a scheme other than HTTP or HTTPS (for example, "javascript:") as safe. An attacker could potentially use this flaw to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2013-6044) A directory traversal flaw was found in Django's "ssi" template tag, which takes a file path as input and outputs that file's contents. An attacker able to alter templates that made use of the "ssi" tag on a site could use this flaw to access any local files accessible to Django. (CVE-2013-4315) Red Hat would like to thank James Bennett of Django for reporting CVE-2013-4315. All python-django users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct these issues. 4.
