> Full security against the SQL-injection attacks described in
CVE-2006-2313 and CVE-2006-2314 might require changes in application
code. If you have applications that embed untrustworthy strings
into SQL commands, you should examine them as soon as possible to
ensure that they are using recommended escaping techniques. In
most cases, applications should be using subroutines provided by
libraries or drivers (such as <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>libpq</SPAN
>'s
<CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>PQescapeStringConn()</CODE
>) to perform string escaping,
rather than relying on <I
CLASS="FOREIGNPHRASE"
>ad hoc</I

><P
>While <SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>PostgreSQL</SPAN
> has been moving in this direction for
some time, the checks are now applied uniformly to all encodings and all
textual input, and are now always errors not merely warnings. This change
defends against SQL-injection attacks of the type described in CVE-2006-2313.</P

>Reject unsafe uses of <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>\'</TT

><P
>As a server-side defense against SQL-injection attacks of the type
described in CVE-2006-2314, the server now only accepts <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>''</TT
> and not
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>\'</TT
> as a representation of ASCII single quote in SQL string
literals. By default, <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"

<TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>client_encoding</TT
> is set to a client-only encoding (SJIS, BIG5, GBK,
GB18030, or UHC), which is the scenario in which SQL injection is possible.
A new configuration parameter <TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>backslash_quote</TT
> is available to
adjust this behavior when needed. Note that full security against
CVE-2006-2314 might require client-side changes; the purpose of
<TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>backslash_quote</TT
> is in part to make it obvious that insecure
clients are insecure.</P

>-using applications for the security
issues described in CVE-2006-2313 and CVE-2006-2314, and also future-proofs
them against the planned changeover to SQL-standard string literal syntax.
Applications that use multiple <SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>PostgreSQL</SPAN
> connections
concurrently should migrate to <CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>PQescapeStringConn()</CODE
> and
<CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>PQescapeByteaConn()</CODE

for the settings in use in each database connection. Applications that
do string escaping <SPAN

routines instead.</P
