PYSEC-2015-20
Quick fix
PYSEC-2015-20 — django: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
pip install --upgrade 'django>=1.4.21'Details
The session backends in Django before 1.4.21, 1.5.x through 1.6.x, 1.7.x before 1.7.9, and 1.8.x before 1.8.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (session store consumption) via multiple requests with unique session keys.
