Alpine: Django: security update to 3.1.5-r0 (deprecated)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 400272

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- In Django 2.2 before 2.2.18, 3.0 before 3.0.12, and 3.1 before 3.1.6, the django.utils.archive.extract
method (used by "startapp --template" and "startproject --template") allows directory traversal via an
archive with absolute paths or relative paths with dot segments. (CVE-2021-3281)

- The package python/cpython from 0 and before 3.6.13, from 3.7.0 and before 3.7.10, from 3.8.0 and before
3.8.8, from 3.9.0 and before 3.9.2 are vulnerable to Web Cache Poisoning via urllib.parse.parse_qsl and
urllib.parse.parse_qs by using a vector called parameter cloaking. When the attacker can separate query
parameters using a semicolon (;), they can cause a difference in the interpretation of the request between
the proxy (running with default configuration) and the server. This can result in malicious requests being
cached as completely safe ones, as the proxy would usually not see the semicolon as a separator, and
therefore would not include it in a cache key of an unkeyed parameter. (CVE-2021-23336)
