The get_image_dimensions function in the image-handling functionality in Django before 1.3.2 and 1.4.x before 1.4.1 uses a constant chunk size in all attempts to determine dimensions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process or thread consumption) via a large TIFF image.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw lets a remote user tie up a vulnerable Django application by submitting a large TIFF image to image-handling code. The business impact is service availability: affected sites may exhaust worker processes or threads and stop responding. The sources identify fixed Django releases but provide no CVSS score. Exposure is most likely in legacy Django applications running before 1.3.2 or 1.4.0-era code that accepts user-controlled image uploads or otherwise processes untrusted TIFF files through Django image handling. Prioritize remediation for internet-facing or customer-facing applications that accept image uploads. This is an availability risk, not described as data theft or code execution in the source bundle. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Django to 1.3.2, 1.4.1, or a later supported release.; Apply applicable Debian, Ubuntu, or Mandriva security packages where used.; Restrict untrusted TIFF uploads until patched if immediate upgrade is not possible..
