CVE-2015-0221  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 python-django to version 1.6.1-2ubuntu0.6 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:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The django.views.static.serve view in Django before 1.4.18, 1.6.x before 1.6.10, and 1.7.x before 1.7.3 reads files an entire line at a time, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a long line in a file.
