File CVE-2019-12781-trust-ssl-header.patch of Package python-Django

commit 4418a0f56539cba537e98273f0a56f64d6920af2
Author: Carlton Gibson <carlton.gibson@noumenal.es>

    [1.8.x] Fixed CVE-2019-12781 -- Made HttpRequest always trust SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER if set.
    
    An HTTP request would not be redirected to HTTPS when the
    SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER and SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT settings were used if
    the proxy connected to Django via HTTPS.
    
    HttpRequest.scheme will now always trust the SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER if
    set, rather than falling back to the request scheme when the
    SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER did not have the secure value.
    
    Thanks to Gavin Wahl for the report and initial patch suggestion, and
    Shai Berger for review.
    
    Backport of 32124fc41e75074141b05f10fc55a4f01ff7f050 from 1.11.x.

+CVE-2019-12781: Incorrect HTTP detection with reverse-proxy connecting via HTTPS
+================================================================================
+
+When deployed behind a reverse-proxy connecting to Django via HTTPS,
+:attr:`django.http.HttpRequest.scheme` would incorrectly detect client
+requests made via HTTP as using HTTPS. This entails incorrect results for
+:meth:`~django.http.HttpRequest.is_secure`, and
+:meth:`~django.http.HttpRequest.build_absolute_uri`, and that HTTP
+requests would not be redirected to HTTPS in accordance with
+:setting:`SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT`.
+
+``HttpRequest.scheme`` now respects :setting:`SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER`, if it
+is configured, and the appropriate header is set on the request, for both HTTP
+and HTTPS requests.
+
+If you deploy Django behind a reverse-proxy that forwards HTTP requests, and
+that connects to Django via HTTPS, be sure to verify that your application
+correctly handles code paths relying on ``scheme``, ``is_secure()``,
+``build_absolute_uri()``, and ``SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT``.
