Description:

   This update for python-Django fixes the following security issues:

     attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing
     attacks or possibly conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a URL
     containing basic authentication (bsc#967999).
   - CVE-2018-7536: The django.utils.html.urlize() function was extremely
     slow to evaluate certain inputs due to catastrophic backtracking
     vulnerabilities (bsc#1083304).
   - CVE-2018-7537: If django.utils.text.Truncator's chars() and words()
     methods were passed the html=True argument, they were extremely slow to

     in a regular expression (bsc#1083305).
