Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2013-10-24 00:19:43 UTC
CVE-2013-6044 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-6044):
  The is_safe_url function in utils/http.py in Django 1.4.x before 1.4.6,
  1.5.x before 1.5.2, and 1.6 before beta 2 treats a URL's scheme as safe even
  if it is not HTTP or HTTPS, which might introduce cross-site scripting (XSS)
  or other vulnerabilities into Django applications that use this function, as
  demonstrated by "the login view in django.contrib.auth.views" and the
  javascript: scheme.


Need cleanup.
