<para>
Improve behavior of <application>libpq</application>'s quoting
functions (Andres Freund, Tom Lane)
<ulink url="&commit_baseurl;111f4dd27">&sect;</ulink>
<ulink url="&commit_baseurl;991a60a9f">&sect;</ulink>
<ulink url="&commit_baseurl;644b7d686">&sect;</ulink>
</para>
<para>
The changes made for CVE-2025-1094 had one serious oversight:
<function>PQescapeLiteral()</function>
and <function>PQescapeIdentifier()</function> failed to honor their
string length parameter, instead always reading to the input
string's trailing null. This resulted in including unwanted text in
the output, if the caller intended to truncate the string via the
length parameter. With very bad luck it could cause a crash due to
reading off the end of memory.
</para>
<para>
In addition, modify all these quoting functions so that when invalid
encoding is detected, an invalid sequence is substituted for just
the first byte of the presumed character, not all of it. This
reduces the risk of problems if a calling application performs
additional processing on the quoted string.
