CVE-2019-14233 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade RHEL:7 python2-django to version 0:1.11.27-1.el7ost or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2020:4390.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python2-django package and not the python2-django package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
An issue was discovered in Django 1.11.x before 1.11.23, 2.1.x before 2.1.11, and 2.2.x before 2.2.4. Due to the behaviour of the underlying HTMLParser, django.utils.html.strip_tags would be extremely slow to evaluate certain inputs containing large sequences of nested incomplete HTML entities.
