How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 Django.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream Django package and not the Django package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The core.urlresolvers.reverse function in Django before 1.4.14, 1.5.x before 1.5.9, 1.6.x before 1.6.6, and 1.7 before release candidate 3 does not properly validate URLs, which allows remote attackers to conduct phishing attacks via a // (slash slash) in a URL, which triggers a scheme-relative URL to be generated.
