Posted by:	Miklos Vajna
Vulnerable version:	1.3-2
Unaffected version:	1.3.1-1mores1
Bug tracker entry:	http://bugs.frugalware.org/task/4590
CVEs:	No CVE, see https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2011/sep/09/security-releases-issued/
Description:	Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Django, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose certain system information, manipulate certain data, conduct cache poisoning attacks, and cause a DoS (Denial of Service). 1) An error within the handling of sessions within django.contrib.sessions when using the caching backend can be exploited to manipulate session information. Successful exploitation requires that the session key is known and the application allows attackers to store dictionary-like objects with a valid session key in the cache. 2) An error when verifying if URLs provided to the "URLField" field type correctly resolve can be exploited to exhaust all of the server's processes and memory by providing an URL to a malicious server. 3) An error within the handling of redirect responses when verifying URLs provided to the "URLField" field type can be exploited to e.g. determine the existence of local files on the server by returning a redirect response to a "file://" URL. 4) An error within the handling of the "X-Forwarded-Host" HTTP header when e.g. generating full URLs for redirect responses can be exploited to conduct cache poisoning attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in KDC within the "process_tgs_req()" function in kdc/do_tgs_req.c when validating or renewing tickets and can be exploited to trigger a double-free condition. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 3) A vulnerability has been reported in Kerberos, which can be exploited by malicious users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service). The vulnerability is caused due to a NULL pointer dereference error when processing certain Kerberos AP-REQ authenticators, which can be exploited to cause a crash in e.g. kadmind or other applications linked against the GSS-API library by sending an AP-REQ authenticator with a missing checksum field.
