Subject: [django-announce] Django security releases issued: 1.10.7,
1.9.13, and 1.8.18
Today the Django team issued 1.10.7, 1.9.13, and 1.8.18 as part of our
security process. These releases address two security issues, and we
encourage all users to upgrade as soon as possible:
https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2017/apr/04/security-releases/
As a reminder, we ask that potential security issues be reported via
private email to [email protected] and not via Django's Trac
instance or the django-developers list. Please see
https://www.djangoproject.com/security for further information.
