Debian DLA-206-1 : python-django-markupfield security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 82904

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

James P. Turk discovered that the ReST renderer in django-markupfield, a custom Django field for easy use of markup in text fields, didn't disable the ..raw directive, allowing remote attackers to include arbitrary files.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected python-django-markupfield package.
