CVE-2010-3082
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 10.10:
  python-django                   1.2.3-1ubuntu0.1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

Details follow:

tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a
remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal
confidential data, within the same domain.
