CVE-2012-3442  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-79  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:12.04 python-django to version 1.3.1-4ubuntu1.2 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 (1) django.http.HttpResponseRedirect and (2) django.http.HttpResponsePermanentRedirect classes in Django before 1.3.2 and 1.4.x before 1.4.1 do not validate the scheme of a redirect target, which might allow remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a data: URL.
