It was found that Django incorrectly handled the session store. A session could be created by anonymously accessing the django.contrib.auth.views.logout view if it was not decorated correctly with django.contrib.auth.decorators.login_required. A remote attacker could use this flaw to fill up the session store or cause other users' session records to be evicted by requesting a large number of new sessions.
