How to fix?

Upgrade Chainguard awx to version 24.6.1-r3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream awx package and not the awx package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in Django 5.1 before 5.1.5, 5.0 before 5.0.11, and 4.2 before 4.2.18. Lack of upper-bound limit enforcement in strings passed when performing IPv6 validation could lead to a potential denial-of-service attack. The undocumented and private functions clean_ipv6_address and is_valid_ipv6_address are vulnerable, as is the django.forms.GenericIPAddressField form field. (The django.db.models.GenericIPAddressField model field is not affected.)
