Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - In Django User Sessions (django-user-sessions) before 1.7.1, the views provided allow users to terminate
 specific sessions. The session key is used to identify sessions, and thus included in the rendered HTML.
