Panic decoding a malformed hstore value allows denial of service
A malicious or compromised server can return a binary hstore value with an
invalid internal length field, causing the client to panic while decoding it.
Applications that connect only to a trusted database are not exposed; the risk
applies to clients that may connect to untrusted or user-supplied servers, or
whose connection can be intercepted by a man-in-the-middle.
