CVE-2016-2513 Open this link in a new tabOverview
django
is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Timing attacks. There is 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). This only affects users who haven't logged in since the iterations were increased in Django 1.6.
