medium Nessus Plugin ID 379893
Synopsis
The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.Description
The remote Debian 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-4903 advisory.- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4903-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Chris Lamb November 12, 2026 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Package : python-django Version : 3:3.2.25-0+deb12u7 CVE ID : CVE-2026-108147 CVE-2026-113593
Two vulnerabilities were discovered in Django, the popular Python-based web development framework:
CVE-2026-108147
Prevent a potential memory exhaustion in MultiPartParser via base64-encoded file uploads. When using django.http.multipartparser's MultiPartParser, multipart uploads with a 'Content-Transfer-Encoding:
base64' header could be buffered entirely in memory, regardless of the value of FILE_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE before being passed to upload handlers, potentially consuming excessive memory.
CVE-2026-113593
Avoid a potential exposure of private data via empty and missing HTTP 'Vary' headers. UpdateCacheMiddleware and cache_page() generated the same cache key for a request that omitted a header listed in the response's Vary header and a request that sent that header with an empty value. As a result, a response cached for one of these requests could be served to the other, which could lead to the exposure of private data. Cache keys now distinguish between absent and empty header values, as required by RFC 9111 section-4.1. Responses previously cached for requests that omitted a header listed in Vary will no longer be matched and will be cached again on the next request.
For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version 3:3.2.25-0+deb12u7.
We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages.
