python-django vulnerability

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

- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro)

Summary:

Django accounts could be hijacked through password reset requests.

Software Description:

Details:

Simon Charette discovered that the password reset functionality in
Django used a Unicode case insensitive query to retrieve accounts
associated with an email address. An attacker could possibly use this
to obtain password reset tokens and hijack accounts.

package versions:

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro):
