Debian DLA-1718-1 : sqlalchemy security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 122930

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in SQLALchemy, a Python SQL Toolkit and Object Relational Mapper.

CVE-2019-7164

SQLAlchemy allows SQL Injection via the order_by parameter.

CVE-2019-7548

SQLAlchemy has SQL Injection when the group_by parameter can be controlled.

The SQLAlchemy project warns that these security fixes break the seldom-used text coercion feature.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 0.9.8+dfsg-0.1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your sqlalchemy packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
