CVE-2009-2659: Django Admin Media Handler Vulnerable to Directory Traversal
(updated )
The Admin media handler in core/servers/basehttp.py in Django 1.0 and 0.96 does not properly map URL requests to expected “static media files,” which allows remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks and read arbitrary files via a crafted URL.
