Django denial of service via file upload naming

GHSA-296w-6qhq-gf92 · CVE-2014-0481 · PYSEC-2014-5

Published · Modified

Description

The default configuration for the file upload handling system in Django before 1.4.14, 1.5.x before 1.5.9, 1.6.x before 1.6.6, and 1.7 before release candidate 3 uses a sequential file name generation process when a file with a conflicting name is uploaded, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by unloading a multiple files with the same name.
