Description

The password reset functionality in django.contrib.auth in Django before 1.1.3, 1.2.x before 1.2.4, and 1.3.x before 1.3 beta 1 does not validate the length of a string representing a base36 timestamp, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a URL that specifies a large base36 integer.

Affected configurations

• djangoproject django (<= 1.1.2) • djangoproject django 0.91 • djangoproject django 0.95 • djangoproject django 0.95.1 • djangoproject django 0.96 • djangoproject django 1.0 • djangoproject django 1.0.1 • djangoproject django 1.0.2 • djangoproject django 1.1 • djangoproject django 1.1.0 • djangoproject django 1.2 • djangoproject django 1.2.1 • djangoproject django 1.2.2 • djangoproject django 1.2.3 • djangoproject django 1.3
