# Django 2.0.3 release notes

March 6, 2018

Django 2.0.3 fixes two security issues and several bugs in 2.0.2. Also, the latest string translations from Transifex are incorporated.

## 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.

## CVE-2018-7537: Denial-of-service possibility in `truncatechars_html` and `truncatewords_html` template filters

If `django.utils.text.Truncator`’s `chars()` and `words()` methods were passed the `html=True` argument, they were extremely slow to evaluate certain inputs due to a catastrophic backtracking vulnerability in a regular expression. The `chars()` and `words()` methods are used to implement the `truncatechars_html` and `truncatewords_html` template filters, which were thus vulnerable.

The backtracking problem in the regular expression is fixed.

## Bugfixes

- Fixed a regression that caused sliced `QuerySet.distinct().order_by()` followed by `count()` to crash (#29108).

- Prioritized the datetime and time input formats without `%f` for the Thai locale to fix the admin time picker widget displaying «undefined» (#29109).

- Fixed crash with `QuerySet.order_by(Exists(...))` (#29118).

- Made `Q.deconstruct()` deterministic with multiple keyword arguments (#29125). You may need to modify `Q`’s in existing migrations, or accept an autogenerated migration.

- Fixed a regression where a `When()` expression with a list argument crashes (#29166).

- Fixed crash when using a `Window()` expression in a subquery (#29172).

- Fixed `AbstractBaseUser.normalize_username()` crash if the `username` argument isn’t a string (#29176).
