Package : python-django Version : 3:3.2.25-0+deb12u6 CVE ID : CVE-2026-77050 CVE-2026-87975
Two vulnerabilities were discovered in Django, the popular Python web-development framework.
CVE-2026-77050
Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in get_supported_language_variant. This method was subject to a potential denial-of-service attack when processing many distinct and very long language codes. Language codes were used as keys in an in-memory cache before their length was limited, potentially consuming excessive process memory. To mitigate this vulnerability, language codes longer than 500 characters are now rejected or truncated before the cached lookup.
CVE-2026-87975
Prevent privilege abuse in model formsets with editable primary keys. Model formsets incorrectly allowed forged POST data to either delete instances outside the limiting queryset or create instances via edit-only formsets when the model's primary key could be set through the form, such as with a OneToOneField (or parent link used as the primary key of an inline formset's model), or a natural or UUID primary key included in the form's fields. Models using the default BigAutoField primary key were not affected.
For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version 3:3.2.25-0+deb12u6.
We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages.
