Description
The current implementation in django.contrib.auth.views.LogoutView allows both GET and POST requests without any CSRF protection. A simple
<img src="http://djangoapp/logout" />
on an exploit page could log out the user. While this is a low security risk, it's still a DoS issue and could prevent the user from using the app.
