Django 1.11.19 release notes
============================
*February 11, 2019*
Django 1.11.19 fixes a security issue in 1.11.18.
CVE-2019-6975: Memory exhaustion in ``django.utils.numberformat.format()``
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If ``django.utils.numberformat.format()`` -- used by ``contrib.admin`` as well
as the the ``floatformat``, ``filesizeformat``, and ``intcomma`` templates
filters -- received a ``Decimal`` with a large number of digits or a large
exponent, it could lead to significant memory usage due to a call to
``'{:f}'.format()``.
To avoid this, decimals with more than 200 digits are now formatted using
scientific notation.
