Django 4.2.11 release notes
===========================

*March 4, 2024*

Django 4.2.11 fixes a security issue with severity "moderate" and a regression
in 4.2.10.

CVE-2024-27351: Potential regular expression denial-of-service in ``django.utils.text.Truncator.words()``
=========================================================================================================

``django.utils.text.Truncator.words()`` method (with ``html=True``) and
:tfilter:`truncatewords_html` template filter were subject to a potential
regular expression denial-of-service attack using a suitably crafted string
(follow up to :cve:`2019-14232` and :cve:`2023-43665`).

Bugfixes
========

* Fixed a regression in Django 4.2.10 where ``intcomma`` template filter could
  return a leading comma for string representation of floats (:ticket:`35172`).
