Date Reported:

09 Apr 2021

Affected Packages:

python-django

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2021-28658.

More information:

It was discovered that there was a potential directory traversal issue in Django, a Python-based web development framework.

The vulnerability could have been exploited by maliciously crafted filenames. However, the upload handlers built into Django itself were not affected.

• CVE-2021-28658

  In Django 2.2 before 2.2.20, 3.0 before 3.0.14, and 3.1 before 3.1.8, MultiPartParser allowed directory traversal via uploaded files with suitably crafted file names. Built-in upload handlers were not affected by this vulnerability.

For Debian 9 Stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1:1.10.7-2+deb9u12.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages.
