Django Reports DoS Vulnerability, Releases Security Updates

Django, a popular web development framework, has released security updates to address a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. The flaw could be exploited to consume excessive amounts of resources and cause a DoS condition.

Django has released security updates for versions 2.2.x, 3.1.x, and 3.2.x. The updates address the flaw by adding a new setting, DISALLOWED_USER_AGENTS, which can be used to block requests from user agents that are known to be exploited.

Users are advised to update to the latest versions of Django as soon as possible. More information about the security updates can be found in the Django security advisory.
