Some of these issues may also +affect other supported versions of PostgreSQL. + +* Improve behavior of quoting functions in [`libpq`](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq.html). +The fix for [CVE-2025-1094](https://www.postgresql.org/support/security/CVE-2025-1094/) +caused the quoting functions to not honor their string length parameters and, in +some cases, cause crashes. This problem could be noticeable from a PostgreSQL +client library, based on how it is integrated with `libpq`. +* Fix small memory leak in +[`pg_createsubscriber`](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pgcreatesubscriber.html). + +Updating +-------- + +All PostgreSQL update releases are cumulative. As with other minor releases, +users are not required to dump and reload their database or use `pg_upgrade` in +order to apply this update release; you may simply shutdown PostgreSQL and +update its binaries. + +Users who have skipped one or more update releases may need to run additional +post-update steps; please see the release notes from earlier versions for +details. + +For more details, please see the +[release notes](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/release/). + +Links +----- +* [Download](https://www.postgresql.org/download/) +* [Release Notes](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/release/) +* [Security](https://www.postgresql.org/support/security/) +* [Versioning Policy](https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/) +* [Donate](https://www.postgresql.org/about/donate/) + +If you have corrections or suggestions for this release announcement, please +send them to the _pgsql-www@lists.postgresql.org_ public +[mailing list](https://www.postgresql.org/list/). -- 2.39.5
