Django 1.11.11 release notes
============================

*March 6, 2018*

Django 1.11.11 fixes two security issues in 1.11.10.

CVE-2018-7536: Denial-of-service possibility in ``urlize`` and ``urlizetrunc`` template filters
===============================================================================================

The ``django.utils.html.urlize()`` function was extremely slow to evaluate
certain inputs due to catastrophic backtracking vulnerabilities in two regular
expressions. The ``urlize()`` function is used to implement the ``urlize`` and
``urlizetrunc`` template filters, which were thus vulnerable.

The problematic regular expressions are replaced with parsing logic that
behaves similarly.
