==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 24.10
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

PostgreSQL could be made to crash if it received specially crafted network
traffic.

Software Description:
- postgresql-16: Object-relational SQL database
- postgresql-14: Object-relational SQL database
- postgresql-12: Object-relational SQL database

Details:

It was discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled the GB18030 encoding.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause PostgreSQL to crash,
resulting in a denial of service.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 24.10
postgresql-16 16.9-0ubuntu0.24.10.1
postgresql-client-16 16.9-0ubuntu0.24.10.1

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
postgresql-16 16.9-0ubuntu0.24.04.1
