Description

Ubuntu has issued an update for PyGreSQL. This fixes a weakness, which can potentially cause SQL injection vulnerabilities.

The weakness is caused due to PyGreSQL not using PostgreSQL's safe string and bytea functions in its own escaping functions, which can prevent escaping when certain multibyte character encodings are used.


Solution
Apply updated packages.
