Django 1.8.10 release notes
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
*March 1, 2016*
|
|
|
|
Django 1.8.10 fixes two security issues and several bugs in 1.8.9.
|
|
|
|
CVE-2016-2512: Malicious redirect and possible XSS attack via user-supplied redirect URLs containing basic auth
|
|
===============================================================================================================
|
|
|
|
Django relies on user input in some cases (e.g.
|
|
``django.contrib.auth.views.login()`` and :doc:`i18n </topics/i18n/index>`)
|
|
to redirect the user to an "on success" URL. The security check for these
|
|
redirects (namely ``django.utils.http.is_safe_url()``) considered some URLs
|
|
with basic authentication credentials "safe" when they shouldn't be.
|
|
|
|
For example, a URL like ``http://mysite.example.com\@attacker.com`` would be
|
|
considered safe if the request's host is ``http://mysite.example.com``, but
|
|
redirecting to this URL sends the user to ``attacker.com``.
|
|
|
|
Also, if a developer relies on ``is_safe_url()`` to provide safe redirect
|
|
targets and puts such a URL into a link, they could suffer from an XSS attack.
|
|
|
|
CVE-2016-2513: User enumeration through timing difference on password hasher work factor upgrade
|
|
================================================================================================
|
|
|
|
In each major version of Django since 1.6, the default number of iterations for
|
|
the ``PBKDF2PasswordHasher`` and its subclasses has increased. This improves
|
|
the security of the password as the speed of hardware increases, however, it
|
|
also creates a timing difference between a login request for a user with a
|
|
password encoded in an older number of iterations and login request for a
|
|
nonexistent user (which runs the default hasher's default number of iterations
|
|
since Django 1.6).
|
|
|
|
This only affects users who haven't logged in since the iterations were
|
|
increased. The first time a user logs in after an iterations increase, their
|
|
password is updated with the new iterations and there is no longer a timing
|
|
difference.
|
|
|
|
The new ``BasePasswordHasher.harden_runtime()`` method allows hashers to bridge
|
|
the runtime gap between the work factor (e.g. iterations) supplied in existing
|
|
encoded passwords and the default work factor of the hasher. This method
|
|
is implemented for ``PBKDF2PasswordHasher`` and ``BCryptPasswordHasher``.
|
|
The number of rounds for the latter hasher hasn't changed since Django 1.4, but
|
|
some projects may subclass it and increase the work factor as needed.
|
|
|
|
A warning will be emitted for any :ref:`third-party password hashers that don't
|
|
implement <write-your-own-password-hasher>` a ``harden_runtime()`` method.
|
|
|
|
If you have different password hashes in your database (such as SHA1 hashes
|
|
from users who haven't logged in since the default hasher switched to PBKDF2
|
|
in Django 1.4), the timing difference on a login request for these users may be
|
|
even greater and this fix doesn't remedy that difference (or any difference
|
|
when changing hashers). You may be able to :ref:`upgrade those hashes
|
|
<wrapping-password-hashers>` to prevent a timing attack for that case.

Bugfixes
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
* Fixed a crash on PostgreSQL that prevented using ``TIME_ZONE=None`` and
|
|
``USE_TZ=False`` (:ticket:`26177`).
|
|
|
|
* Added system checks for query name clashes of hidden relationships
|
|
(:ticket:`26162`).
|
|
|
|
* Made ``forms.FileField`` and ``utils.translation.lazy_number()`` picklable
|
|
(:ticket:`26212`).
|
|
|
|
* Fixed :class:`~django.contrib.postgres.fields.RangeField` and
|
|
:class:`~django.contrib.postgres.fields.ArrayField` serialization with
|
|
``None`` values (:ticket:`26215`).
|
|
|
|
* Reallowed dashes in top-level domain names of URLs checked by
|
|
``URLValidator`` to fix a regression in Django 1.8 (:ticket:`26204`).
|
|
|
|
* Fixed ``BoundField`` to reallow slices of subwidgets (:ticket:`26267`).
|
|
|
|
* Prevented ``ContentTypeManager`` instances from sharing their cache
|
|
(:ticket:`26286`).
