CVE-2018-7537 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade RHEL:7 python-pymongo-gridfs to version 0:3.2-1.el7sat or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2018:2927.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-pymongo-gridfs package and not the python-pymongo-gridfs package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
An issue was discovered in Django 2.0 before 2.0.3, 1.11 before 1.11.11, and 1.8 before 1.8.19. If django.utils.text.Truncator's chars() and words() methods were passed the html=True argument, they were extremely slow to evaluate certain inputs due to a catastrophic backtracking vulnerability in a regular expression. The chars() and words() methods are used to implement the truncatechars_html and truncatewords_html template filters, which were thus vulnerable.
