Django - 4.2.7
Security
Django 4.2.7 release notes
November 1, 2023
Django 4.2.7 fixes a security issue with severity “moderate” and several bugs
in 4.2.6.
CVE-2023-46695: Potential denial of service vulnerability in UsernameField
on Windows
The NFKC normalization
is slow on
Windows. As a consequence, django.contrib.auth.forms.UsernameField
was
subject to a potential denial of service attack via certain inputs with a very
large number of Unicode characters.
In order to avoid the vulnerability, invalid values longer than
UsernameField.max\_length
are no longer normalized, since they cannot pass
validation anyway.
Bugfixes
- Fixed a regression in Django 4.2 that caused a crash of
QuerySet.aggregate()
with aggregates referencing expressions containing
subqueries (#34798). - Restored, following a regression in Django 4.2, creating
varchar/text\_pattern\_ops
indexes onCharField
andTextField
with
deterministic collations on PostgreSQL (#34932).
