CWE-79  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable 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:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The (1) django.http.HttpResponseRedirect and (2) django.http.HttpResponsePermanentRedirect classes in Django before 1.3.2 and 1.4.x before 1.4.1 do not validate the scheme of a redirect target, which might allow remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a data: URL.
