CVE-2019-6975
Description
From CVE.org
Django 1.11.x before 1.11.19, 2.0.x before 2.0.11, and 2.1.x before 2.1.6 allows Uncontrolled Memory Consumption via a malicious attacker-supplied value to the django.utils.numberformat.format() function.
Statement
This issue did not affect the versions of python-django as shipped with Red Hat Update Infrastructure 3 as the vulnerable code is not present.
Although Red Hat Satellite 6 uses the vulnerable component python-django, it does not use the module django.utils.numberformat, so it's not possible to trigger this vulnerability. Hence, Red Hat Satellite 6 is not vulnerable to this issue.
In Red Hat OpenStack Platform, because the flaw has a lower impact and the fix would require a substantial amount of development, no update will be provided at this time for the RHOSP python-django package.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
