Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS : Django vulnerabilities (USN-3115-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 94464

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Marti Raudsepp discovered that Django incorrectly used a hardcoded password when running tests on an Oracle database. A remote attacker could possibly connect to the database while the tests are running and prevent the test user with the hardcoded password from being removed.
(CVE-2016-9013)

Aymeric Augustin discovered that Django incorrectly validated hosts when being run with the debug setting enabled. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform DNS rebinding attacks.
(CVE-2016-9014).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected python-django, python-django-common and / or python3-django packages.
