# Django 2.1.11 release notes

August 1, 2019

Django 2.1.11 fixes security issues in 2.1.10.

## CVE-2019-14232: Denial-of-service possibility in `django.utils.text.Truncator`

If `django.utils.text.Truncator`’s `chars()` and `words()` methods were passed the `html=True` argument, they were extremely slow to evaluate certain inputs due to a catastrophic backtracking vulnerability in a regular expression. The `chars()` and `words()` methods are used to implement the `truncatechars_html` and `truncatewords_html` template filters, which were thus vulnerable.

The regular expressions used by `Truncator` have been simplified in order to avoid potential backtracking issues. As a consequence, trailing punctuation may now at times be included in the truncated output.

## CVE-2019-14233: Denial-of-service possibility in `strip_tags()`

Due to the behavior of the underlying `HTMLParser`, `django.utils.html.strip_tags()` would be extremely slow to evaluate certain inputs containing large sequences of nested incomplete HTML entities. The `strip_tags()` method is used to implement the corresponding `striptags` template filter, which was thus also vulnerable.

`strip_tags()` now avoids recursive calls to `HTMLParser` when progress removing tags, but necessarily incomplete HTML entities, stops being made.

Remember that absolutely NO guarantee is provided about the results of `strip_tags()` being HTML safe. So NEVER mark safe the result of a `strip_tags()` call without escaping it first, for example with `django.utils.html.escape()`.

## CVE-2019-14234: SQL injection possibility in key and index lookups for `JSONField`/`HStoreField`

`Key and index lookups` for `JSONField` and `key lookups` for `HStoreField` were subject to SQL injection, using a suitably crafted dictionary, with dictionary expansion, as the `**kwargs` passed to `QuerySet.filter()`.

## CVE-2019-14235: Potential memory exhaustion in `django.utils.encoding.uri_to_iri()`

If passed certain inputs, `django.utils.encoding.uri_to_iri()` could lead to significant memory usage due to excessive recursion when re-percent-encoding invalid UTF-8 octet sequences.

`uri_to_iri()` now avoids recursion when re-percent-encoding invalid UTF-8 octet sequences.
