Django 2.0.10 release notes

January 4, 2019

Django 2.0.10 fixes a security issue and several bugs in 2.0.9.

CVE-2019-3498: Content spoofing possibility in the default 404 page

An attacker could craft a malicious URL that could make spoofed content appear on the default page generated by the django.views.defaults.page_not_found() view.

The URL path is no longer displayed in the default 404 template and the request_path context variable is now quoted to fix the issue for custom templates that use the path.

Bugfixes

• Prevented repetitive calls to geos_version_tuple() in the WKBWriter class in an attempt to fix a random crash involving LooseVersion since Django 2.0.6 (#29959).
• Fixed a schema corruption issue on SQLite 3.26+. You might have to drop and rebuild your SQLite database if you applied a migration while using an older version of Django with SQLite 3.26 or later (#29182).
• Prevented SQLite schema alterations while foreign key checks are enabled to avoid the possibility of schema corruption (#30023).
