==========================
========================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 11.10
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

A testsuite regression was fixed in Django.

Software Description:
- python-django: High-level Python web development framework

Details:

USN-1632-1 fixed a vulnerability in Django. The upstream fix introduced
testsuite failures when ADMINS and/or MANAGERS were defined in settings.p=
y.
This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

James Kettle discovered Django did not properly filter the Host HTTP hea=
der
when processing certain requests. An attacker could exploit this to
generate and display arbitrary URLs to users.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 12.10:
python-django 1.4.1-2ubuntu0.2

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
python-django 1.3.1-4ubuntu1.4

Ubuntu 11.10:
python-django 1.3-2ubuntu1.5

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
python-django 1.1.1-2ubuntu1.7

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.=
