The patches being added in the debdiff are from the upstream commit to fix the security bug.
I did a test build of each in pbuilder, and I installed (upgraded to) the resulting deb on my precise server with no adverse effects to the Django app currently running on it. A specific proof of concept was not posted by the Django project, so I do not know how to test that the problem is actually fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068486 Title: Please backport Django 1.3.4/1.4.2 security updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-django/+bug/1068486/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
