Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Django versions 0.91, 0.95, 0.95.1, and 0.96

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically memory consumption, by sending many HTTP requests with large Accept-Language headers when the internationalization framework is enabled.

Recommendations For Django versions 0.91, 0.95, 0.95.1, and 0.96, consider disabling the internationalization framework as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the i18n component to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using large Accept-Language headers in HTTP requests to the affected Django versions until the issue is resolved.
