that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-8765-1 advisory.

    Cdric Krier discovered that python-sql incorrectly escaped values passed to unary operators. An attacker
    could possibly use this issue to perform SQL injection attacks.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
