Type
+ Denial of service
Description
+ Django 1.11.x before 1.11.19, 2.0.x before 2.0.11, and 2.1.x before 2.1.6 allows uncontrolled memory consumption via a malicious attacker-supplied value to the django.utils.numberformat.format() function.
+ If the affected numberformat function as used by contrib.admin as well as the the floatformat, filesizeformat, and intcomma templates filters receives a Decimal with a large number of digits or a large exponent, it could lead to significant memory usage due to a call to '{:f}'.format().
