## Description

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.
