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.
