Subject: Django 3.2.1, 3.1.9, and 2.2.21: CVE-2021-31542: Potential
 directory-traversal via uploaded files

https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2021/may/04/security-releases/ <https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2021/may/04/security-releases/>

In accordance with `our security release policy
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/security/>`_, the Django team
is issuing
`Django 3.2.1 <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/3.2.1/>`_,
`Django 3.1.9 <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/3.1.9/>`_, and
`Django 2.2.21 <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/2.2.21/>`_.
These release addresses the security issue detailed below. We encourage all users of Django to upgrade as soon as possible.

CVE-2021-31542: Potential directory-traversal via uploaded files
================================================================

``MultiPartParser``, ``UploadedFile``, and ``FieldFile`` allowed
directory-traversal via uploaded files with suitably crafted file names.

In order to mitigate this risk, stricter basename and path sanitation is now
applied. Specifically, empty file names and paths with dot segments will be
rejected.

This issue has low severity, according to the Django security policy.

* Django main branch
* Django 3.2
* Django 3.1
* Django 2.2
