python-django (1.4.1-2ubuntu0.7) quantal-security; urgency=medium

  * SECURITY UPDATE: cache coherency problems in old Internet Explorer
    compatibility functions lead to loss of privacy and cache poisoning
    attacks. (LP: #1317663)
    - debian/patches/drop_fix_ie_for_vary_1_4.diff: remove fix_IE_for_vary()
      and fix_IE_for_attach() functions so Cache-Control and Vary headers are
      no longer modified. This may introduce some regressions for IE 6 and IE 7
      users. Patch from upstream.
    - CVE-2014-1418
  * SECURITY UPDATE: The validation for redirects did not correctly validate
    some malformed URLs, which are accepted by some browsers. This allows a
    user to be redirected to an unsafe URL unexpectedly.
    - debian/patches/is_safe_url_1_4.diff: Forbid URLs starting with '///',
      forbid URLs without a host but with a path. Patch from upstream.
