CVE-2009-2659: Path Traversal
First published: Tue Aug 04 2009(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.
