Same story than before. Nobody has explained under which circumstances
this bug constitutes a security risk. And you're inflating the severity
without proper justification.

The upstream ticket http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/2702 doesn't
mention the possible security risk. James has mentionned the problem to be
that one could be granted rights that have been granted to a previous HTTP
request.

If such a behaviour was happening all the time, I bet it would be a very
important bug... but since I see no mention of that in the upstream
ticket, I believe it probably happens seldom. Has there been discussion of
this problem somewhere else ?

Can you tell us under which circumstances this can happen ?

In the mean time, I'm downgrading. Depending on the answer to the question
above, I may agree to change it back to serious. Opinions are welcome of
course.
