* SECURITY UPDATE: session manipulation when using django.contrib.sessions
  with memory-based sessions and caching
  - debian/patches/CVE-2011-4136.patch: use namespace of cache to store keys
    for session instead of root namespace
  - CVE-2011-4136
* SECURITY UPDATE: potential denial of service and information disclosure in
  URLField
  - debian/patches/CVE-2011-4137+4138.patch: set verify_exists to False by
    default and use a timeout if available.
  - CVE-2011-4137, CVE-2011-4138
* SECURITY UPDATE: potential cache-poisoning via crafted Host header
  - debian/patches/CVE-2011-4139.patch: ignore X-Forwarded-Host header by
    default when constructing full URLs
  - CVE-2011-4139
* debian/patches/01_disable_url_verify_regression_tests.diff: remove the
  test_correct_url_but_nonexisting_gives_404() test from the
  modeltests/validation/tests.py too. Not sure how it passed before, but
  this makes the CVE-2011-4137+4138.patch consistent with our other releases
  since the upstream fix for CVE-2011-4137+4138.patch removed this test too.

* SECURITY UPDATE: flaw in CSRF handling (LP: #719031)
  - debian/patches/09_CVE-2011-0696.diff: apply full CSRF validation to all
    requests, regardless of apparent AJAX origin. This is technically
    backwards-incompatible, but the security risks have been judged to
    outweigh the compatibility concerns in this case. See the Django project
    notes for more information:
    http://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2011/feb/08/security/
  - CVE-2011-0696
* SECURITY UPDATE: potential XSS in file field rendering
  - debian/patches/10_admin_widgets-to-unittest.diff: prepare testsuite for
    security fix tests
  - debian/patches/11_CVE-2011-0697.diff: properly escape URL in
    django/contrib/admin/widgets.py
  - CVE-2011-0697

* SECURITY UPDATE: information leak in admin interface
  - debian/patches/07_security_admin_infoleak.diff: validate querystring
    lookup arguments either specify only fields on the model being viewed,
    or cross relations which have been explicitly whitelisted.
  - CVE-2010-4534
* SECURITY UPDATE:
  - debian/patches/08_security_pasword_reset_dos.diff: adjust
    base36_to_int() function in django.utils.http will now validate the
    length of its input; on input longer than 13 digits (sufficient to
    base36-encode any 64-bit integer), it will now raise ValueError.
    Additionally, the default URL patterns for django.contrib.auth will now
    enforce a maximum length on the relevant parameters.
  - CVE-2010-4535
