MGASA-2012-0315
Date: 	October 29th, 2012
Affected releases: 	1, 2


Description:
Updated python-django packages fix security vulnerabilities:

The Host header parsing in Django 1.3 and Django 1.4 -- specifically,
django.http.HttpRequest.get_host() -- was incorrectly handling
username/password information in the header.
Using this, an attacker can cause parts of Django -- particularly the
password-reset mechanism -- to generate and display arbitrary URLs to
users.


Updated Packages:
Mageia 1:
python-django-1.3.4-1.mga1

Mageia 2:
python-django-1.3.4-1.mga2
