Synopsis
========

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

Background
==========

SQLAlchemy is a Python SQL toolkit and Object Relational Mapper.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  dev-python/sqlalchemy        < 0.7.4                    >= 0.7.4

Description
===========

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

Impact
======

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

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All SQLAlchemy users should upgrade to the latest version:

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