Remediation
Red Hat statement
This issue affects the versions of python-django as shipped with Red Hat Update Infrastructure 3. Even though the Red Hat Update Appliance ships python-django, the application is not accessible by default because of the firewall rules, thus this flaw cannot be used. However, it can be triggered on the Content Delivery Systems. Red Hat Satellite is not affected, since python-django is only used on Pulp API, which only returns JSON data.
