Several security issues were fixed in Django.

Software Description:

Details:

Elias Myllymäki discovered that Django incorrectly handled certain inputs
with a large number of brackets. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause Django to consume resources or stop responding, resulting in
a denial of service. (CVE-2024-38875)

It was discovered that Django incorrectly handled authenticating users with
unusable passwords. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
perform a timing attack and enumerate users. (CVE-2024-39329)

validation when the storage class is being derived. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to save files into arbitrary directories.
(CVE-2024-39330)
