Description:
Previous versions of postgresql server and client libraries contain
weaknesses parsing certain character encodings (UTF-8, SJIS, BIG5,
GBK, GB18030, or UHC, but not ASCII) which, when using the vulnerable
encodings, can enable SQL injection attacks against applications
(particularly web applications) which use non-standard escaping of
quote characters.
Because vulnerable escaping of quote characters is no longer allowed,
some existing applications may not function correctly when used with
the new release of postgresql.
