Debian DLA-590-1 : python-django security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 92828

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The release team recently approved rebasing jessie on latest python-django 1.7.x (see #807654). For similiar reasons, it makes sense to rebase wheezy on latest 1.4.x, especially since 1.4.x is an LTS version.

Django 1.4.22-1 has been uploaded to wheezy-security to address this.

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, and python-django-doc packages.
