details: contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware in Django 1.8.x before 1.8.4,
  1.7.x before 1.7.10, 1.4.x before 1.4.22, and possibly other versions allows remote
  attackers to cause a denial of service (session store consumption or session record
  removal) via a large number of requests to contrib.auth.views.logout, which triggers
  the creation of an empty session record.
