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 Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

The authentication framework (django.contrib.auth) in Django 1.4.x before 1.4.8, 1.5.x before 1.5.4, and 1.6.x before 1.6 beta 4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a long password which is then hashed.
