Django < 1.3.2 and 1.4.x < 1.4.1 - Denial of Service via Large TIFF Image Processing

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The get_image_dimensions function in the image-handling functionality in Django before 1.3.2 and 1.4.x before 1.4.1 uses a constant chunk size in all attempts to determine dimensions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process or thread consumption) via a large TIFF image.
