🔗 CVE IDs covered (1)

📋 Description

In Django 3.2 before 3.2.17, 4.0 before 4.0.9, and 4.1 before 4.1.6, the parsed values of Accept-Language headers are cached in order to avoid repetitive parsing. This leads to a potential denial-of-service vector via excessive memory usage if the raw value of Accept-Language headers is very large.

🎯 Affected products3

  • pip/django:>= 3.2a1, < 3.2.17
  • pip/django:>= 4.0a1, < 4.0.9
  • pip/django:>= 4.1a1, < 4.1.6
