The (1) FilePathField, (2) GenericIPAddressField, and (3) IPAddressField model field classes in Django before 1.4.11, 1.5.x before 1.5.6, 1.6.x before 1.6.3, and 1.7.x before 1.7 beta 2 do not properly perform type conversion, which allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact and vectors, related to "MySQL typecasting."

The remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates :

  - The django.core.urlresolvers.reverse function in Django     before 1.4.11, 1.5.x before 1.5.6, 1.6.x before 1.6.3,     and 1.7.x before 1.7 beta 2 allows remote attackers to     import and execute arbitrary Python modules by     leveraging a view that constructs URLs using user input     and a 'dotted Python path.' (CVE-2014-0472)

  - The caching framework in Django before 1.4.11, 1.5.x     before 1.5.6, 1.6.x before 1.6.3, and 1.7.x before 1.7     beta 2 reuses a cached CSRF token for all anonymous     users, which allows remote attackers to bypass CSRF     protections by reading the CSRF cookie for anonymous     users. (CVE-2014-0473)

  - The (1) FilePathField, (2) GenericIPAddressField, and     (3) IPAddressField model field classes in Django before     1.4.11, 1.5.x before 1.5.6, 1.6.x before 1.6.3, and     1.7.x before 1.7 beta 2 do not properly perform type     conversion, which allows remote attackers to have     unspecified impact and vectors, related to 'MySQL     typecasting.' (CVE-2014-0474)

Python Django was updated to fix security issues and bugs.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201406-26 (Django: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Django. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could execute code with the privileges of the process,       modify SQL queries, or disclose sensitive information.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in python-django :

Django 1.4 before 1.4.13, 1.5 before 1.5.8, 1.6 before 1.6.5, and 1.7 before 1.7b4 does not properly include the (1) Vary: Cookie or (2) Cache-Control header in responses, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or poison the cache via a request from certain browsers (CVE-2014-1418).

The django.util.http.is_safe_url function in Django 1.4 before 1.4.13, 1.5 before 1.5.8, 1.6 before 1.6.5, and 1.7 before 1.7b4 does not properly validate URLs, which allows remote attackers to conduct open redirect attacks via a malformed URL, as demonstrated by http:\djangoproject.com. (CVE-2014-3730).

The django.core.urlresolvers.reverse function in Django before 1.4.11, 1.5.x before 1.5.6, 1.6.x before 1.6.3, and 1.7.x before 1.7 beta 2 allows remote attackers to import and execute arbitrary Python modules by leveraging a view that constructs URLs using user input and a dotted Python path. (CVE-2014-0472).

The caching framework in Django before 1.4.11, 1.5.x before 1.5.6, 1.6.x before 1.6.3, and 1.7.x before 1.7 beta 2 reuses a cached CSRF token for all anonymous users, which allows remote attackers to bypass CSRF protections by reading the CSRF cookie for anonymous users (CVE-2014-0473).

The (1) FilePathField, (2) GenericIPAddressField, and (3) IPAddressField model field classes in Django before 1.4.11, 1.5.x before 1.5.6, 1.6.x before 1.6.3, and 1.7.x before 1.7 beta 2 do not properly perform type conversion, which allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact and vectors, related to MySQL typecasting.
(CVE-2014-0474).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Django, a high-level Python web development framework. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2014-0472     Benjamin Bach discovered that Django incorrectly handled     dotted Python paths when using the reverse() URL     resolver function. An attacker able to request a     specially crafted view from a Django application could     use this issue to cause Django to import arbitrary     modules from the Python path, resulting in possible code     execution.

  - CVE-2014-0473     Paul McMillan discovered that Django incorrectly cached     certain pages that contained CSRF cookies. A remote     attacker could use this flaw to acquire the CSRF token     of a different user and bypass intended CSRF protections     in a Django application.

  - CVE-2014-0474     Michael Koziarski discovered that certain Django model     field classes did not properly perform type conversion     on their arguments, which allows remote attackers to     obtain unexpected results.

  - CVE-2014-1418     Michael Nelson, Natalia Bidart and James Westby     discovered that cached data in Django could be served to     a different session, or to a user with no session at     all. An attacker may use this to retrieve private data     or poison caches.

  - CVE-2014-3730     Peter Kuma and Gavin Wahl discovered that Django     incorrectly validated certain malformed URLs from user     input. An attacker may use this to cause unexpected     redirects.

The Django project reports :

These releases address an unexpected code-execution issue, a caching issue which can expose CSRF tokens and a MySQL typecasting issue.
While these issues present limited risk and may not affect all Django users, we encourage all users to evaluate their own risk and upgrade as soon as possible.

USN-2169-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Django. The upstream security patch for CVE-2014-0472 introduced a regression for certain applications. This update fixes the problem.

Benjamin Bach discovered that Django incorrectly handled dotted Python paths when using the reverse() function. An attacker could use this issue to cause Django to import arbitrary modules from the Python path, resulting in possible code execution. (CVE-2014-0472)

Paul McMillan discovered that Django incorrectly cached certain pages that contained CSRF cookies. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to obtain a valid cookie and perform attacks which bypass the CSRF restrictions. (CVE-2014-0473)

Michael Koziarski discovered that Django did not always perform explicit conversion of certain fields when using a MySQL database. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain unexpected results. (CVE-2014-0474).

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