Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
GHSA-3547-9m27-7rxg: djangorestframework versions >=3.6.4 and <3.18.2 are affected. An unauthenticated attacker can send a small JSON request whose Content-Type charset names a byte-transform codec, so the parser decompresses the body after Django's DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE check and drives large memory allocation in the worker, causing denial of service. Upgrade to djangorestframework 3.18.2, which is listed as the fixed version.
