+
+## Release Information
+
+Percona Server for MySQL 8.0.46-38 builds on MySQL 8.0.46 Community Edition,
+adding enterprise-grade features and security enhancements from Percona.
+
+## Bug fixes
+
+The fixes ported to 8.0 are the following:
+
+[`Bug#39116965`](https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server/commit/413d194f6498bce5da807d77ec5dea097adbc4db): During connection setup, connection attribute parsing could read a length-encoded size field before verifying that the complete field was present in the packet, leading to an out-of-bounds read. A size check is now performed before reading the field.
+
+[`Bug#39204635`](https://github.com/percona/percona-server/commit/6adc159923b7b6abbe649949551ec25264c2daf9): An unauthenticated repeated X Protocol TLS upgrade causes an unplanned exit of the MySQL Router.
