Fix CVE(s): CVE-2026-14669

Type: advisorySources: OSV

* SECURITY UPDATE: Heap buffer overflow in to_char(timestamptz). DCH_to_char() copied the timezone abbreviation into a workspace budgeted at DCH_MAX_ITEM_SIZ bytes per format character with an unchecked strcpy(), and any client can select a longer POSIX abbreviation via SET TIME ZONE (CVSS 8.8, arbitrary code execution as the database OS user). - debian/patches/CVE-2026-14669.patch: reject POSIX timezone abbreviations longer than n->key->len * DCH_MAX_ITEM_SIZ in the TZ/tz items of DCH_to_char() with an error, instead of strcpy()ing them past the palloc'd buffer (upstream 3d724bf4fd, backpatched to REL_14_STABLE as the formatting.c hunk of 5fb3c638 and shipped in 14.24; applies verbatim). - CVE-2026-14669
