PYSEC-2012-3

Quick fix

PYSEC-2012-3 — django: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'django>=1.3.2'

Details

The django.forms.ImageField class in the form system in Django before 1.3.2 and 1.4.x before 1.4.1 completely decompresses image data during image validation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by uploading an image file.
