    Summary: Denial-of-service possibility in logout() view by filling session store

    Details: The (1) `contrib.sessions.backends.base.SessionBase.flush` and (2) `cache_db.SessionStore.flush` functions in Django 1.7.x before 1.7.10, 1.4.x before 1.4.22, and possibly other versions create empty sessions in certain circumstances, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (session store consumption) via unspecified vectors.
