Shai Berger 50efb718b3 Fixed CVE-2025-64460 -- Corrected quadratic inner text accumulation in XML serializer.
Previously, `getInnerText()` recursively used `list.extend()` on strings,
which added each character from child nodes as a separate list element.
On deeply nested XML content, this caused the overall deserialization
work to grow quadratically with input size, potentially allowing
disproportionate CPU consumption for crafted XML.

The fix separates collection of inner texts from joining them, so that
each subtree is joined only once, reducing the complexity to linear in
the size of the input. These changes also include a mitigation for a
xml.dom.minidom performance issue.

Thanks Seokchan Yoon (https://ch4n3.kr/) for report.

===========================
Django 4.2.27 release notes
===========================
*December 2, 2025*
Django 4.2.27 fixes one security issue with severity "high", one security issue
with severity "moderate", and one bug in 4.2.26.
CVE-2025-13372: Potential SQL injection in ``FilteredRelation`` column aliases on PostgreSQL
============================================================================================
:class:`.FilteredRelation` was subject to SQL injection in column aliases,
using a suitably crafted dictionary, with dictionary expansion, as the
``**kwargs`` passed to :meth:`.QuerySet.annotate` or :meth:`.QuerySet.alias` on
PostgreSQL.
CVE-2025-64460: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in XML ``Deserializer``
=================================================================================
:ref:`XML Serialization <serialization-formats-xml>` was subject to a potential
denial-of-service attack due to quadratic time complexity when deserializing
crafted documents containing many nested invalid elements. The internal helper
``django.core.serializers.xml_serializer.getInnerText()`` previously
accumulated inner text inefficiently during recursion. It now collects text per
element, avoiding excessive resource usage.
Bugfixes
========
* Fixed a regression in Django 4.2.26 where ``DisallowedRedirect`` was raised
by :class:`~django.http.HttpResponseRedirect` and
:class:`~django.http.HttpResponsePermanentRedirect` for URLs longer than 2048
characters. The limit is now 16384 characters (:ticket:`36743`).
