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