FreeBSD : django -- information leak vulnerability (11c52bc6-97aa-11e5-b8df-14dae9d210b8)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 87114

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

Tim Graham reports :

If an application allows users to specify an unvalidated format for dates and passes this format to the date filter, e.g. {{ last_updated|date:user_date_format }}, then a malicious user could obtain any secret in the application's settings by specifying a settings key instead of a date format. e.g. 'SECRET_KEY' instead of 'j/m/Y'.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
