Security fix for CVE-2014-0480, CVE-2014-0481, CVE-2014-0482, CVE-2014-0483

Updated python-django packages fix security vulnerabilities :

These releases address an issue with reverse() generating external URLs (CVE-2014-0480); a denial of service involving file uploads (CVE-2014-0481); a potential session hijacking issue in the remote-user middleware (CVE-2014-0482); and a data leak in the administrative interface (CVE-2014-0483).

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Django, a high-level Python web development framework. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2014-0480     Florian Apolloner discovered that in certain situations,     URL reversing could generate scheme-relative URLs which     could unexpectedly redirect a user to a different host,     leading to phishing attacks.

  - CVE-2014-0481     David Wilson reported a file upload denial of service     vulnerability. Django's file upload handling in its     default configuration may degrade to producing a huge     number of `os.stat()` system calls when a duplicate     filename is uploaded. A remote attacker with the ability     to upload files can cause poor performance in the upload     handler, eventually causing it to become very slow.

  - CVE-2014-0482     David Greisen discovered that under some circumstances,     the use of the RemoteUserMiddleware middleware and the     RemoteUserBackend authentication backend could result in     one user receiving another user's session, if a change     to the REMOTE_USER header occurred without corresponding     logout/login actions.

  - CVE-2014-0483     Collin Anderson discovered that it is possible to reveal     any field's data by modifying the 'popup' and 'to_field'     parameters of the query string on an admin change form     page. A user with access to the admin interface, and     with sufficient knowledge of model structure and the     appropriate URLs, could construct popup views which     would display the values of non-relationship fields,     including fields the application developer had not     intended to expose in such a fashion.

Python Django was updated to fix security issues and bugs.

Update to version 1.4.15 on openSUSE 12.3 :

  + Prevented reverse() from generating URLs pointing to     other hosts to prevent phishing attacks (bnc#893087,     CVE-2014-0480)

  + Removed O(n) algorithm when uploading duplicate file     names to fix file upload denial of service (bnc#893088,     CVE-2014-0481)

  + Modified RemoteUserMiddleware to logout on REMOTE_USE     change to prevent session hijacking (bnc#893089,     CVE-2014-0482)

  + Prevented data leakage in contrib.admin via query string     manipulation (bnc#893090, CVE-2014-0483)

  + Fixed: Caches may incorrectly be allowed to store and     serve private data (bnc#877993, CVE-2014-1418)

  + Fixed: Malformed redirect URLs from user input not     correctly validated (bnc#878641, CVE-2014-3730)

  + Fixed queries that may return unexpected results on     MySQL due to typecasting (bnc#874956, CVE-2014-0474)

  + Prevented leaking the CSRF token through caching     (bnc#874955, CVE-2014-0473)

  + Fixed a remote code execution vulnerability in URL     reversing (bnc#874950, CVE-2014-0472)

Update to version 1.5.10 on openSUSE 13.1 :

  + Prevented reverse() from generating URLs pointing to     other hosts to prevent phishing attacks (bnc#893087,     CVE-2014-0480)

  + Removed O(n) algorithm when uploading duplicate file     names to fix file upload denial of service (bnc#893088,     CVE-2014-0481)

  + Modified RemoteUserMiddleware to logout on REMOTE_USE     change to prevent session hijacking (bnc#893089,     CVE-2014-0482)

  + Prevented data leakage in contrib.admin via query string     manipulation (bnc#893090, CVE-2014-0483)

  - Update to version 1.5.8 :

  + Fixed: Caches may incorrectly be allowed to store and     serve private data (bnc#877993, CVE-2014-1418)

  + Fixed: Malformed redirect URLs from user input not     correctly validated (bnc#878641, CVE-2014-3730)

  + Fixed queries that may return unexpected results on     MySQL due to typecasting (bnc#874956, CVE-2014-0474)

  + Prevented leaking the CSRF token through caching     (bnc#874955, CVE-2014-0473)

  + Fixed a remote code execution vulnerability in URL     reversing (bnc#874950, CVE-2014-0472)

update to 1.5.9 fixing CVE-2014-3473 CVE-2014-3474 CVE-2014-3475

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2347-1 advisory.

    Florian Apolloner discovered that Django incorrectly validated URLs. A remote attacker could use this     issue to conduct phishing attacks. (CVE-2014-0480)

    David Wilson discovered that Django incorrectly handled file name generation. A remote attacker could use     this issue to cause Django to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-0481)

    David Greisen discovered that Django incorrectly handled certain headers in     contrib.auth.middleware.RemoteUserMiddleware. A remote authenticated user could use this issue to hijack     web sessions. (CVE-2014-0482)

    Collin Anderson discovered that Django incorrectly checked if a field represented a relationship between     models in the administrative interface. A remote authenticated user could use this issue to possibly     obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2014-0483)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
