+        <p>The Django Project reports:</p>
+	<blockquote cite="https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2013/feb/19/security/">;
+	  <p>These security releases fix four issues: one potential phishing
+	    vector, one denial-of-service vector, an information leakage issue,
+	    and a range of XML vulnerabilities.</p>
+          <ol>
+	  <li>
+            <p>Host header poisoning</p>
+	    <p>an attacker could cause Django to generate and display URLs that
+	      link to arbitrary domains. This could be used as part of a phishing
+	      attack. These releases fix this problem by introducing a new
+	      setting, ALLOWED_HOSTS, which specifies a whitelist of domains your
+	      site is known to respond to.</p>
+	    <p>Important: by default Django 1.3.6 and 1.4.4 set ALLOWED_HOSTS to
+	      allow all hosts. This means that to actually fix the security
+	      vulnerability you should define this setting yourself immediately
+	      after upgrading.</p>
+	  </li>
+	  <li>
+	    <p>Formset denial-of-service</p>
+	    <p>an attacker can abuse Django's tracking of the number of forms in
+	      a formset to cause a denial-of-service attack. This has been fixed
+	      by adding a default maximum number of forms of 1,000. You can still
+	      manually specify a bigger max_num, if you wish, but 1,000 should be
+	      enough for anyone.</p>
+	  </li>
+	  <li>
+	    <p>XML attacks</p>
+	    <p>Django's serialization framework was vulnerable to attacks via XML
+	      entity expansion and external references; this is now fixed.
+	      However, if you're parsing arbitrary XML in other parts of your
+	      application, we recommend you look into the defusedxml Python
+	      packages which remedy this anywhere you parse XML, not just via
+	      Django's serialization framework.</p>
+	  </li>
+	  <li>
+	    <p>Data leakage via admin history log</p>
+	    <p>Django's admin interface could expose supposedly-hidden
+	      information via its history log. This has been fixed.</p>
+	  </li>
+	  </ol>
