+      Harden <function>PQescapeString</function> and allied functions
+      against invalidly-encoded input strings (Andres Freund, Noah Misch)

+
+     <para>
+      Data-quoting functions supplied by <application>libpq</application>
+      now fully check the encoding validity of their input.  If invalid
+      characters are detected, they report an error if possible.  For the
+      ones that lack an error return convention, the output string is
+      adjusted to ensure that the server will report invalid encoding and
+      no intervening processing will be fooled by bytes that might happen
+      to match single quote, backslash, etc.
+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+      The purpose of this change is to guard against SQL-injection attacks
+      that are possible if one of these functions is used to quote crafted
+      input.  There is no hazard when the resulting string is sent
+      directly to a <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> server (which
+      would check its encoding anyway), but there is a risk when it is
+      passed through <application>psql</application> or other client-side
+      code.  Historically such code has not carefully vetted encoding, and
+      in many cases it's not clear what it should do if it did detect such
+      a problem.
+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+      This fix is effective only if the data-quoting function, the server,
+      and any intermediate processing agree on the character encoding
+      that's being used.  Applications that insert untrusted input into
+      SQL commands should take special care to ensure that that's true.
+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+      Applications and drivers that quote untrusted input without using
+      these <application>libpq</application> functions may be at risk of
+      similar problems.  They should first confirm the data is valid in
+      the encoding expected by the server.
+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+      The <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> Project thanks
+      Stephen Fewer for reporting this problem.
