Its now being tracked: VU#160862 (thanks Kurt).

Just to be clear I didn't do anything yet. That's a US-CERT
Vulnerability Note number, nothing to do with CVE. Did you contact the
Django people about this issue to report it upstream yet? Adding
security at djangoproject.com in case they haven't seen it yet.

This is regarding

http://maverickblogging.com/security-vulnerability-with-django-cookie-based-sessions/

I'm going to assign a CVE if I can somewhat confirm a CVE hasn't been
requested yet.
