Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1443)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

The authentication framework (django.contrib.auth) in Django 1.4.x before 1.4.8, 1.5.x before 1.5.4, and 1.6.x before 1.6 beta 4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a long password which is then hashed.


2) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4315)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in Django 1.4.x before 1.4.7, 1.5.x before 1.5.3, and 1.6.x before 1.6 beta 3. A remote authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a file path in the ALLOWED_INCLUDE_ROOTS setting followed by a . (dot dot) in a ssi template tag.
