Synopsis
The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.Description
The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-4301 advisory.- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4301-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Chris Lamb September 15, 2025 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : python-django Version : 2:2.2.28-1~deb11u8 CVE ID : CVE-2025-57833 Debian Bug : 1113865
It was discovered that there was a potential SQL injection attack in Django, a popular Python-based web development framework.
Specifically, the FilteredRelation class was vulnerable to an SQL injection through its use of column aliases. This could have been exploited using a suitably crafted dictionary that was controlled by an attacker, either with dictionary expansion via the **kwargs passed to QuerySet.annotate() or by using QuerySet.alias() directly.
For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 2:2.2.28-1~deb11u8.
We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages.
For the detailed security status of python-django please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/python-django
