PYSEC-2015-6
Quick fix
PYSEC-2015-6 — django: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
pip install --upgrade 'django>=1.4.18'Details
The django.views.static.serve view in Django before 1.4.18, 1.6.x before 1.6.10, and 1.7.x before 1.7.3 reads files an entire line at a time, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a long line in a file.
