Overview

Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Memory Consumption. If django.utils.numberformat.format() that is 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().
