Overview
Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Recursion via GEOSGeometry when parsing deeply nested GEOMETRYCOLLECTION objects provided as well-known text (WKT), well-known binary (WKB), or hex-encoded WKB. An attacker can cause unbounded recursion and trigger a segmentation fault in the underlying GEOS library by supplying maliciously crafted input through spatial field lookups or the GeometryField form field.
