CVE-2019-14233 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Ubuntu:20.04 python-django to version 1:1.11.22-1ubuntu1 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:20.04 relevant fixed versions and status.
An issue was discovered in Django 1.11.x before 1.11.23, 2.1.x before 2.1.11, and 2.2.x before 2.2.4. Due to the behaviour of the underlying HTMLParser, django.utils.html.strip_tags would be extremely slow to evaluate certain inputs containing large sequences of nested incomplete HTML entities.
