CVE-2013-1443
The authentication framework (django.contrib.auth) in Django 1.4.x before 1.4.8, 1.5.x before 1.5.4, and 1.6.x before 1.6 beta 4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a long password which is then hashed.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.68%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
