   An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description:

   This update for python-Django fixes the following issues:

   - Fixed CVE-2019-6975 (bsc#1124991)
     * Added CVE-2019-6975.patch to fix uncontrolled memory consumption
     * If ``django.utils.numberformat.format()`` -- used by ``contrib.admin``
       as well as the the ``floatformat``, ``filesizeformat``, and
       ``intcomma`` templates filters -- received a ``Decimal`` with a large
       number of digits or a large exponent, it could lead to significant
       memory usage due to a call to ``'{:f}'.format()``. To avoid this,
       decimals with more than 200 digits are now formatted using scientific
       notation.
