Details

Usually, I wouldn't open a bug report for an outdated package, but in this case, the package in question has not been updated/maintained for half a year (upstream released version 1.11.3 on 2017-07-01), although it has been flagged as outdated already 5 months ago.

python-django and python2-django are currently at version 1.11.2, the current upstream version is 1.11.10, and fixes a CVE:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/releases/1.11.10/

Not sure if it belongs into here, but the 1.11 branch of branch is an LTS branch anyway, and the current version of Django would actually be 2.0.2 (but that branch has dropped support for Python 2).

In any case, this package should at least be updated to version 1.11.10 to get rid of CVE-2018-6188.
This task depends upon

Side note, the CVE mentions the bug seems to be introduced in 1.11.8 and our repository version 1.11.2 so should not be affected.
