Affected packages

• PyPI Django: >= 1.11a1, < 1.11.23 → fixed in 1.11.23 • PyPI Django: >= 2.1a1, < 2.1.11 → fixed in 2.1.11 • PyPI Django: >= 2.2a1, < 2.2.4 → fixed in 2.2.4

Description

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.
