## Overview

Django 1.11 before 1.11.29, 2.2 before 2.2.11, and 3.0 before 3.0.4 allows SQL Injection if untrusted data is used as a tolerance parameter in GIS functions and aggregates on Oracle. By passing a suitably crafted tolerance to GIS functions and aggregates on Oracle, it was possible to break escaping and inject malicious SQL.

## Affected packages

- `django >= 1.11, < 1.11.29`
- `django >= 2.2, < 2.2.11`
- `django >= 3.0, < 3.0.4`

## Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release:

- `django 1.11.29`
- `django 2.2.11`
- `django 3.0.4`
