SQLAlchemy: SQL injection — GLSA 201209-16

An input sanitation flaw in SQLAlchemy allows remote attacker to conduct SQL injection.

Package	dev-python/sqlalchemy on all architectures
Affected versions	< 0.7.4
Unaffected versions	>= 0.7.4

SQLAlchemy is a Python SQL toolkit and Object Relational Mapper.

SQLAlchemy does not properly sanitize input passed from the “limit” and “offset” keywords to the select() function before using it in an SQL query.

A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary SQL statements.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All SQLAlchemy users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync
 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-python/sqlalchemy-0.7.4"
