Descriptions
django.contrib.sessions in Django before 1.2.7 and 1.3.x before 1.3.1, when session data is stored in the cache, uses the root namespace for both session identifiers and application-data keys, which allows remote attackers to modify a session by triggering use of a key that is equal to that session's identifier.
django.contrib.sessions en Django v1.2.7 y v1.3.x antereiores a v1.3.1, cuando los datos de sesión se almacena en la caché, utiliza el espacio de nombres raíz de los identificadores de sesión las teclas y los datos de aplicación, lo que permite a atacantes remotos modificar un sesión mediante la activación de uso de una clave que es igual al identificador de sesión.
Pall McMillan discovered that Django used the root namespace when storing cached session data. A remote attacker could exploit this to modify sessions. Paul McMillan discovered that Django would not timeout on arbitrary URLs when the application used URLFields. This could be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via resource exhaustion. Various other issues were also addressed.
