 Problem Description:

 A cross-site request forgery vulnerability was discovered in Django
 that, if exploited, could be used to perform unrequested deletion or
 modification of data.  Updated versions of Django will now discard
 posts from users whose sessions have expired, so data will need to
 be re-entered in these cases.
 
 The versions of Django shipping with Mandriva Linux have been updated
 to the latest patched versions that include the fix for this issue.
 In addition, they provide other bug fixes.
