1. Summary:

An update for python-django is now available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform
8.0 (Liberty).

of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

3. Description:

Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid
development and a clean, pragmatic design. It focuses on automating as much
as possible and adhering to the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle.

Security Fix(es):

* A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in Django. An attacker could
exploit the unsafe usage of JavaScript's Element.innerHTML to forge content
in the admin's add/change related popup. Element.textContent is now used to
prevent XSS data execution. (CVE-2016-6186)

Red Hat would like to thank the upstream Django project for reporting this
issue.
