8 April 2024
Django accounts could be hijacked through password reset requests.
Releases
Packages
- python-django - High-level Python web development framework
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.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 14.04
-
python-django
-
1.6.11-0ubuntu1.3+esm7
Available with Ubuntu Pro
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
