Django 1.11.10 release notes
============================
*February 1, 2018*
2018-01-13 22:18:13 +08:00
Django 1.11.10 fixes a security issue and several bugs in 1.11.9.
CVE-2018-6188: Information leakage in ``AuthenticationForm``
============================================================
A regression in Django 1.11.8 made
:class:`~django.contrib.auth.forms.AuthenticationForm` run its
``confirm_login_allowed()`` method even if an incorrect password is entered.
This can leak information about a user, depending on what messages
``confirm_login_allowed()`` raises. If ``confirm_login_allowed()`` isn't
overridden, an attacker enter an arbitrary username and see if that user has
been set to ``is_active=False``. If ``confirm_login_allowed()`` is overridden,
more sensitive details could be leaked.
This issue is fixed with the caveat that ``AuthenticationForm`` can no longer
raise the "This account is inactive." error if the authentication backend
rejects inactive users (the default authentication backend, ``ModelBackend``,
has done that since Django 1.10). This issue will be revisited for Django 2.1
as a fix to address the caveat will likely be too invasive for inclusion in
older versions.

Bugfixes
========
* Fixed incorrect foreign key nullification if a model has two foreign keys to
the same model and a target model is deleted (:ticket:`29016`).
* Fixed a regression where ``contrib.auth.authenticate()`` crashes if an
authentication backend doesn't accept ``request`` and a later one does
(:ticket:`29071`).
* Fixed crash when entering an invalid uuid in ``ModelAdmin.raw_id_fields``
(:ticket:`29094`).
