python-django vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 19.10

Summary:

Django could be vulnerable to SQL injection attacks.

Software Description:

Simon Charette discovered that Django incorrectly handled input in the
PostgreSQL module. A remote attacker could possibly use this to perform SQL
injection attacks.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 19.10:
  python-django                   1:1.11.22-1ubuntu1.2
  python3-django                  1:1.11.22-1ubuntu1.2
