CVE-2015-0221: Django DoS in django.views.static.serve

May 17, 2022 (updated September 18, 2024)

The django.views.static.serve view in Django before 1.4.18, 1.6.x before 1.6.10, and 1.7.x before 1.7.3 reads files an entire line at a time, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a long line in a file.
