Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2021-05-05 19:21:40 UTC 
A flaw was found in Django. On Python 3.9.5+, ``URLValidator`` didn't prohibited newlines and tabs. If you used values with newlines in HTTP response, you could suffer from header injection attacks. Django itself wasn't vulnerable because ``HttpResponse`` prohibit newlines in HTTP headers.

Comment 11 Tapas Jena 2021-05-07 18:48:44 UTC 
The current python version in case of Ansible Engine is 3.6.8 which is not vulnerable to the concerned vulnerability and the current python-django version in case of AAP 1.2 is 2.2.17 which is Affected. Since, Django itself is not vulnerable, marking AAP 1 with Python-Django as affected and Tower and AAP with only Django as "Not affected".
Comment 13 Sage McTaggart 2021-05-07 20:45:58 UTC 
Statement:

* Red Hat Gluster Storage 3 ships an old version of Django (v1.11.27) that provides support for Python 3.7, hence not affected by this vulnerability.
* Red Hat Satellite and Red Hat Update Infrastructure ships affected versions of Django, however, products make use of Python 2.7 and Python 3.6 consumed from RHEL repository. Successful exploitation would require Support to Python version 3.9.5 onward hence products are not affected by this vulnerability.
* Red Hat Ceph Storage (RHCS) 2 and 3 ship an affected version of Django.
