+CVE-2021-33571: Possible indeterminate SSRF, RFI, and LFI attacks since validators accepted leading zeros in IPv4 addresses
+===========================================================================================================================
+
+:class:`~django.core.validators.URLValidator`,
+:func:`~django.core.validators.validate_ipv4_address`, and
+:func:`~django.core.validators.validate_ipv46_address` didn't prohibit leading
+zeros in octal literals. If you used such values you could suffer from
+indeterminate SSRF, RFI, and LFI attacks.
+
+:func:`~django.core.validators.validate_ipv4_address` and
+:func:`~django.core.validators.validate_ipv46_address` validators were not
+affected on Python 3.9.5+.
