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.
The utils.html.strip_tags function in Django 1.6.x before 1.6.11, 1.7.x before 1.7.7, and 1.8.x before 1.8c1, when using certain versions of Python, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by increasing the length of the input string.
