CVE-2012-3444 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Debian:10 python-django to version 1.4.1-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-django package and not the python-django package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.
The get_image_dimensions function in the image-handling functionality in Django before 1.3.2 and 1.4.x before 1.4.1 uses a constant chunk size in all attempts to determine dimensions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process or thread consumption) via a large TIFF image.
