Upgrade Alpine:3.20 py3-django to version 3.2.17-r0 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream py3-django package and not the py3-django package as distributed by Alpine.
See How to fix? for Alpine:3.20 relevant fixed versions and status.
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.
