## Description

An issue was discovered in Django 5.1 before 5.1.5, 5.0 before 5.0.11, and4.2 before 4.2.18. Lack of upper-bound limit enforcement in strings passedwhen performing IPv6 validation could lead to a potential denial-of-serviceattack. The undocumented and private functions clean_ipv6_address andis_valid_ipv6_address are vulnerable, as is thedjango.forms.GenericIPAddressField form field. (Thedjango.db.models.GenericIPAddressField model field is not affected.)
