   An update that solves four vulnerabilities and has one
   errata is now available. It includes one version update.

Description:


   python-django has been updated to version 1.5.12 to fix four security
   issues:

       * CVE-2015-0219: Django before 1.4.18, 1.6.x before 1.6.10, and 1.7.x
         before 1.7.3 allowed remote attackers to spoof WSGI headers by using
         an _ (underscore) character instead of a - (dash) character in an
         HTTP header, as demonstrated by an X-Auth_User header (bnc#913053).
       * CVE-2015-0220: The django.util.http.is_safe_url function in Django
         before 1.4.18, 1.6.x before 1.6.10, and 1.7.x before 1.7.3 did not
         properly handle leading whitespaces, which allowed remote attackers
         to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted URL,
         related to redirect URLs, as demonstrated by a "\njavascript:" URL
         (bnc#913054).
       * CVE-2015-0221: The django.views.static.serve view in Django before
         1.4.18, 1.6.x before 1.6.10, and 1.7.x before 1.7.3 read files an
         entire line at a time, which allowed remote attackers to cause a
         denial of service (memory consumption) via a long line in a file
         (bnc#913056).
       * CVE-2015-0222: ModelMultipleChoiceField in Django 1.6.x before
         1.6.10 and 1.7.x before 1.7.3, when show_hidden_initial is set to
         True, allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service by
         submitting duplicate values, which triggered a large number of SQL
         queries (bnc#913055).

   These non-security issues have been fixed:

       * Method check_for_test_cookie is deprecated (bnc#914706)
       * Fixed a regression with dynamically generated inlines and allowed
         field references in the admin
       * Allowed related many-to-many fields to be referenced in the admin
       * Allowed inline and hidden references to admin fields

   Security Issues:

       * CVE-2015-0222
         <http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-0222>
