- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4425-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Chris Lamb December 29, 2025 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : python-django Version : 2:2.2.28-1~deb11u10 CVE IDs : CVE-2025-64459 CVE-2025-64460 Debian Bug : 1121788

It was discovered that there were two issues in Django, the Python-based web development framework:

* CVE-2025-64459: A potential SQL injection via _connector keyword argument in QuerySet/Q objects. The methods QuerySet filter(), exclude() and get() as well as the Q() class were subject to SQL injection when using a suitably crafted dictionary as the _connector argument.

* CVE-2025-64460: A potential denial-of-service vulnerability in XML serializer text extraction. An algorithmic complexity issue in django.core.serializers.xml_serializer.getInnerText() allowed a remote attacker to cause a potential denial-of-service triggering CPU and memory exhaustion via a specially crafted XML input submitted to a service that invokes XML Deserializer. The vulnerability resulted from repeated string concatenation while recursively collecting text nodes, which produced superlinear computation.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 2:2.2.28-1~deb11u10.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages.
