CVE-2014-0481

MEDIUM 4.3EPSS 2.47%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.47%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

The default configuration for the file upload handling system in Django before 1.4.14, 1.5.x before 1.5.9, 1.6.x before 1.6.6, and 1.7 before release candidate 3 uses a sequential file name generation process when a file with a conflicting name is uploaded, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by unloading a multiple files with the same name.
