Comment (by tltx):
I have reproduced this bug with the test site
(https://github.com/jborg/django-21608) on both Django 1.8.7 and 1.9
(using SQLite).
These were the steps I used:
* Open the admin page in a tab and log in. http://localhost:8000/admin/
* Switch to a new tab and open the slow page. http://localhost:8000/slow/
Act fast after this step to complete the next three steps before the slow
page has finished loaded, <10 sec
* Switch back to tab with the admin page.
* Click the "Logout" link on the top right corner of the page. -> Now you
are on the logout page
* Reload page -> Now you are on the login page.
* Wait for slow page to finish loading.
* Reload the tab with the login page.
* Logged in again without entering credentials!
This is a security issue, not critical though, as someone might think that
they have logged out but is actually still logged in.
If you logout and leave a public computer while a page is still loading in
another tab there is a risk that the next person using that computer can
get access to your account.
It would be nice to have this fixed 1.8 and up.
