Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Django versions prior to 1.4.18 Django versions 1.6.x prior to 1.6.10 Django versions 1.7.x prior to 1.7.3

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service due to memory consumption. This is achieved by exploiting the django.views.static.serve view, which reads files an entire line at a time, making it vulnerable to attacks via a long line in a file.

Recommendations For Django versions prior to 1.4.18, update to version 1.4.18 or later. For Django versions 1.6.x prior to 1.6.10, update to version 1.6.10 or later. For Django versions 1.7.x prior to 1.7.3, update to version 1.7.3 or later.
