Django 1.8.18 release notes
===========================
*April 4, 2017*
Django 1.8.18 fixes two security issues in 1.8.17.
CVE-2017-7234: Open redirect vulnerability in ``django.views.static.serve()``
=============================================================================
A maliciously crafted URL to a Django site using the
:func:`~django.views.static.serve` view could redirect to any other domain. The
view no longer does any redirects as they don't provide any known, useful
functionality.
Note, however, that this view has always carried a warning that it is not
hardened for production use and should be used only as a development aid.
