PYSEC-2014-5

Quick fix

PYSEC-2014-5 — django: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'django>=1.4.14'

Details

The default configuration for the file upload handling system in Django before 1.4.14, 1.5.x before 1.5.9, 1.6.x before 1.6.6, and 1.7 before release candidate 3 uses a sequential file name generation process when a file with a conflicting name is uploaded, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by unloading a multiple files with the same name.
