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 on CharField and TextField with
    deterministic collations on PostgreSQL (#34932).
