Crunchy Data is pleased to announce the release of the PostgreSQL
[set_user](github.com/pgaudit/set_user) Extension module version 2.0.1.

This release contains one security fix and one other bug fix. It is highly
recommended to update to this version of `set_user` as soon as possible.

### Security Issues

- [CVE-2021-38140](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-38140):
Fixed potential privilege escalation using `RESET SESSION
AUTHORIZATION` after calling `set_user()`. This is now blocked along with
`RESET ROLE`.

### Fixes

- Fix GUC deprecation logic to stop printing noisy NOTICEs every time
GUCs are referenced.
