| 61 | + Improve behavior of <application>libpq</application>'s quoting |

| 69 | + The changes made for CVE-2025-1094 had one serious oversight: |
| 70 | + <function>PQescapeLiteral()</function> |
| 71 | + and <function>PQescapeIdentifier()</function> failed to honor their |
| 72 | + string length parameter, instead always reading to the input |
| 73 | + string's trailing null. This resulted in including unwanted text in |
| 74 | + the output, if the caller intended to truncate the string via the |
| 75 | + length parameter. With very bad luck it could cause a crash due to |
| 76 | + reading off the end of memory. |
| 77 | + </para> |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | + <para> |
| 80 | + In addition, modify all these quoting functions so that when invalid |
| 81 | + encoding is detected, an invalid sequence is substituted for just |
| 82 | + the first byte of the presumed character, not all of it. This |
| 83 | + reduces the risk of problems if a calling application performs |
| 84 | + additional processing on the quoted string. |
