"It was discovered that pygresql, a PostgreSQL module for Python, was
missing a function to call PQescapeStringConn(). This is needed,
because PQescapeStringConn() honours the charset of the connection and
prevents insufficient escaping, when certain multibyte character
encodings are used. The new function is called pg_escape_string(),
which takes the database connection as a first argument. The old
function escape_string() has been preserved as well for backwards
compatibility.

Developers using these bindings are encouraged to adjust their code to
use the new function."

"Steffen Joeris discovered that PyGreSQL 3.8 did not use PostgreSQL's
safe string and bytea functions in its own escaping functions. As a
result, applications written to use PyGreSQL's escaping functions are
vulnerable to SQL injections when processing certain multi-byte
character sequences. Because the safe functions require a database
connection, to maintain backwards compatibility, pg.escape_string()
and pg.escape_bytea() are still available, but applications will have
to be adjusted to use the new pyobj.escape_string() and
pyobj.escape_bytea() functions. For example, code containing :

import pg connection = pg.connect(...) escaped =
pg.escape_string(untrusted_input)

should be adjusted to use :

import pg connection = pg.connect(...) escaped =
connection.escape_string(untrusted_input).

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