==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 16.10
– Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in Django.
Software Description:
– python-django: High-level Python web development framework
Details:
Marti Raudsepp discovered that Django incorrectly used a hardcoded password
when running tests on an Oracle database. A remote attacker could possibly
connect to the database while the tests are running and prevent the test
user with the hardcoded password from being removed. (CVE-2016-9013)
Aymeric Augustin discovered that Django incorrectly validated hosts when
being run with the debug setting enabled. A remote attacker could possibly
use this issue to perform DNS rebinding attacks. (CVE-2016-9014)

package versions:
