DescriptionCVE.org

An issue was discovered in Django 6.0 before 6.0.7 and 5.2 before 5.2.16. django.contrib.gis.gdal.GDALRaster over-reads its in-memory buffer when constructed from a bytes object, which can disclose adjacent memory or cause service degradation via a potential segmentation fault when the vsi_buffer property is accessed. Earlier, unsupported Django series (such as 5.0.x, 4.1.x, and 3.2.x) were not evaluated and may also be affected. Django would like to thank Bence Nagy for reporting this issue.

AnalysisAI

Memory over-read in Django's GIS module allows unauthenticated remote attackers to potentially disclose adjacent heap memory or degrade service availability via a segmentation fault. The django.contrib.gis.gdal.GDALRaster class fails to correctly bound its read when constructed from a bytes object, exposing raw memory when the vsi_buffer property is subsequently accessed. Affects Django 6.0 before 6.0.7 and 5.2 before 5.2.16; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and not listed in CISA KEV.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in django.contrib.gis.gdal.GDALRaster, the Django wrapper around the GDAL (Geospatial Data Abstraction Library) raster interface. CWE-805 (Buffer Access with Incorrect Length Value) identifies the root cause: when a GDALRaster is instantiated from a raw bytes object, the underlying memory buffer length is not correctly tracked or enforced. When the vsi_buffer property is later accessed - which exposes the in-memory virtual filesystem buffer used by GDAL - the read operation extends beyond the allocated region, either leaking adjacent heap contents or dereferencing an invalid address. This is an in-process memory-safety issue in Python C extension code bridging to the native GDAL library. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:djangoproject:django:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the affected software is the canonical Django package published by the Django Software Foundation.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Django 6.0.7 or Django 5.2.16, the vendor-released patched versions announced in the Django security release at https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2026/jul/07/security-releases/. For applications that cannot upgrade immediately, the primary compensating control is to restrict or disable any code paths that construct GDALRaster objects from untrusted bytes input - specifically, audit all call sites of django.contrib.gis.gdal.GDALRaster(bytes_object) and ensure the bytes source is strictly validated or sourced only from trusted internal data. Blocking unauthenticated access to GIS endpoints that process raster data reduces network exposure. If the vsi_buffer property is not used by your application, removing that access path eliminates the trigger condition, though this is a code-level mitigation that requires application changes. Deployments on unsupported Django series (5.0.x, 4.1.x, 3.2.x) should prioritize upgrading to a supported branch rather than seeking targeted backports.
