Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201808-1
=========================================
Severity: Medium
Date : 2018-08-01
CVE-ID : CVE-2018-14574
Package : python-django
Type : open redirect
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-743
Summary
=======
The package python-django before version 2.0.8-1 is vulnerable to open
redirect.
Resolution
==========
Upgrade to 2.0.8-1.
# pacman -Syu "python-django>=2.0.8-1"
The problem has been fixed upstream in version 2.0.8.
Workaround
==========
Disable the APPEND_SLASH setting.
Description
===========
If the django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware and the APPEND_SLASH
setting are both enabled, and if the project has a URL pattern that
accepts any path ending in a slash (many content management systems
have such a pattern), then a request to a maliciously crafted URL of
that site could lead to a redirect to another site, enabling phishing
and other attacks.
Impact
======
A remote attacker is able to redirect a user to an attacker-controlled
website.

CVE-ID : CVE-2018-14912
Package : cgit
Type : directory traversal
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-745
Summary
=======
The package cgit before version 1.2.1-1 is vulnerable to directory
traversal.
Resolution

# pacman -Syu "cgit>=1.2.1-1"
The problem has been fixed upstream in version 1.2.1.
Workaround

cgit_clone_objects in CGit before 1.2.1 has a directory traversal
vulnerability when `enable-http-clone=1` is not turned off, as
demonstrated by a cgit/cgit.cgi/git/objects/?path=../ request.
Impact
