CVE-2014-0480  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:12.04 python-django to version 1.3.1-4ubuntu1.12 or higher.

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 Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:12.04 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.
