*** This bug is a security vulnerability *** Public security bug reported:
"Django's template language includes two methods of including and rendering one template inside another: The {% include %} tag takes a template name, and uses Django's template loading mechanism (which is restricted to the directories specified in the TEMPLATE_DIRS setting, as with any other normal template load in Django). The {% ssi %} tag, which takes a file path and includes that file's contents (optionally parsing and rendering it as a template). Since the ssi tag is not restricted to TEMPLATE_DIRS, it represents a security risk; the setting ALLOWED_INCLUDE_ROOTS thus is required, and specifies filesystem locations from which ssi may read files." https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2013/sep/10/security-releases- issued/ ** Affects: python-django (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Information type changed from Private Security to Public Security -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1227518 Title: CVE-2013-4315: Directory traversal with ssi template tag To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-django/+bug/1227518/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
