Django 1.8.4 リリースノート

August 18, 2015

Django 1.8.4 fixes a security issue and several bugs in 1.8.3.

Denial-of-service possibility in logout() view by filling session store

Previously, a session could be created when anonymously accessing the django.contrib.auth.views.logout() view (provided it wasn't decorated with login_required() as done in the admin). This could allow an attacker to easily create many new session records by sending repeated requests, potentially filling up the session store or causing other users' session records to be evicted.

The SessionMiddleware has been modified to no longer create empty session records, including when SESSION_SAVE_EVERY_REQUEST is active.
