Django Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling Vulnerability - CVE-2024-56374

An issue was discovered in Django 5.1 before 5.1.5 5.0 before 5.0.11 and 4.2 before 4.2.18. Lack of upper-bound limit enforcement in strings passed when performing IPv6 validation could lead to a potential denial-of-service attack. The undocumented and private functions clean_ipv6_address and is_valid_ipv6_address are vulnerable as is the django.forms.GenericIPAddressField form field. (The django.db.models.GenericIPAddressField model field is not affected.)
