CVE-2006-2313
PostgreSQL 8.1.x before 8.1.4, 8.0.x before 8.0.8, 7.4.x before
7.4.13, 7.3.x before 7.3.15, and earlier versions allows

in applications via invalid encodings of multibyte characters, aka one
variant of 'Encoding-Based SQL Injection.'
CVE-2006-2314
PostgreSQL 8.1.x before 8.1.4, 8.0.x before 8.0.8, 7.4.x before
7.4.13, 7.3.x before 7.3.15, and earlier versions allows
context-dependent attackers to bypass SQL injection protection methods
in applications that use multibyte encodings that allow the '\'
(backslash) byte 0x5c to be the trailing byte of a multibyte
character, such as SJIS, BIG5, GBK, GB18030, and UHC, which cannot be
handled correctly by a client that does not understand multibyte
encodings, aka a second variant of 'Encoding-Based SQL Injection.'
NOTE: it could be argued that this is a class of issue related to
interaction errors between the client and PostgreSQL, but a CVE has
been assigned since PostgreSQL is treating this as a preventative
measure against this class of problem.
Solution:
Update your system with the appropriate patches or
software upgrades.
