Debian Linux Security Advisory 1905-1 - The forms library of python-django, a high-level Python web development framework, is using a badly chosen regular expression when validating email addresses and URLs. An attacker can use this to perform denial of service attacks (100% CPU consumption) due to bad backtracking via a specially crafted email address or URL which is validated by the django forms library.
