Summary: Django 0.96 i18n DoS
Product: Fedora
Version: f7
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: low
Priority: low
Component: Django
AssignedTo: michel.sylvan(a)gmail.com
ReportedBy: ville.skytta(a)iki.fi
QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: fedora-security-list(a)redhat.com

"A per-process cache used by Django's internationalization ("i18n") system to
store the results of translation lookups for particular values of the HTTP
Accept-Language header used the full value of that header as a key. An attacker
could take advantage of this by sending repeated requests with extremely large
strings in the Accept-Language header, potentially causing a denial of service
by filling available memory.
Due to limitations imposed by Web server software on the size of HTTP header
fields, combined with reasonable limits on the number of requests which may be
handled by a single server process over its lifetime, this vulnerability may be
difficult to exploit. Additionally, it is only present when the "USE_I18N"
setting in Django is "True" and the i18n middleware component is enabled*.
Nonetheless, all users of affected versions of Django are encouraged to update."
All Fedora and EPEL branches are at 0.96 (which is vulnerable) at the moment.

a direct request for themes/darkblue_orange/layout.inc.php, which reveals the
path in an error message."
FC5+ apparently affected, even though I'm not sure if this is an issue at all.

Research: effects of diversity on threads from malware
by Knijff, S.A.W. van der
I'm performing an research about the effects of diversity
on malware. In this research there will be looked at the
effects of diversity within an operating system on malware,
in this case different GNU/Linux distro's.
Cause of the limited time schedule there will only be
tested with three distro's, after this there will be picked
one distro which is tested on different architectures.
There is chosen to work with Fedora Core 6, OpenSuse 10.2
and Ubuntu 6.10.
Before starting the real-life tests there is a need to make
some assumptions on what will happen when the malware is
run on a system. Here for there will be looked at the
compiler flags that are used during compilation of the
distribution, I'm namely interested in the compiler flags
which enhance the security within the distro.
Also are there any kind of security measurements besides
the compiler flags, for example SELinux, AppArmor, Address
Randomization Execshield, PIE or others?
I hope that you can provide me with some answers on my
questions so i can move on with the research.
