A python-django security update has been released for Debian GNU/Linux 8 LTS.

DLA 2233-1: python-django security update

Package : python-django
Version : 1.7.11-1+deb8u9
CVE IDs : CVE-2020-13254 CVE-2020-13596

It was discovered that there were two issues in Django, the Python
web development framework:

* CVE-2020-13254: Potential a data leakage via malformed memcached
keys.

In cases where a memcached backend does not perform key validation,
passing malformed cache keys could result in a key collision, and
potential data leakage. In order to avoid this vulnerability, key
validation is added to the memcached cache backends.

* CVE-2020-13596: Possible XSS via admin ForeignKeyRawIdWidget.

Query parameters to the admin ForeignKeyRawIdWidget were not
properly URL encoded, posing an XSS attack vector.
ForeignKeyRawIdWidget now ensures query parameters are correctly
URL encoded.
