results to contain uninitialized, unpredictable values. While this was okay
as far as the datatypes themselves were concerned, it's a problem for the
parser because occurrences of the "same" literal might not be recognized as
equal by datumIsEqual (and hence not by equal()). It seems sufficient to fix
this in the input functions since the only critical use of equal() is in the
parser's comparisons of ORDER BY and DISTINCT expressions.

Plug the remaining holes. Also, disallow transient connections in functions

Security: CVE-2007-6601
padded encryption scheme. Formerly it would try to access res[(unsigned) -1],
which resulted in core dumps on 64-bit machines, and was certainly trouble
waiting to happen on 32-bit machines (though in at least the known case
it was harmless because that byte would be overwritten after return).
Per report from Ken Colson; fix by Marko Kreen.
to prevent possible escalation of privilege. Provide new SECURITY
DEFINER functions with old behavior, but initially REVOKE ALL
from public for these functions. Per list discussion and design
proposed by Tom Lane.
Call srandom() instead of srand().
pgbench calls random() later, so it should have called srandom().
On most platforms except Windows srandom() is actually identical
to srand(), so the bug only bites Windows users.

I finally found some time to debug this, and I think I found a better
patch than the one you proposed. Mine is still hackish and is still a
workaround around a proper quoting solution, but at least it repairs
the parsing without introducing the \' quoting again.
I consider this a band-aid patch to fix the recent security update.
PostgreSQL gurus, would you consider applying this until a better
solution is found for DBMirror.pl?
Olivier, can you please confirm that the patch works for you, too?
Backpatched to 8.0.X.

pgcrypto crypt()/md5 and hmac() leak memory when compiled against
OpenSSL as openssl.c digest ->reset will do two DigestInit calls
against a context. This happened to work with OpenSSL 0.9.6
but not with 0.9.7+.
Reason for the messy code was that I tried to avoid creating
wrapper structure to transport algorithm info and tried to use
OpenSSL context for it. The fix is to create wrapper structure.
It also uses newer digest API to avoid memory allocations
on reset with newer OpenSSLs.

proposed pgbench changes" on 2005/11/29 for more details.
The change at line 490 updates doCustom's local variable "commands"
after selecting a new file (command sequence). I think that the
existing coding will cause the thing to use the first command of the
old sequence in the remainder of the routine, which would be a bug.
I have not tried to set up a test case to prove it, though.
The other two changes cause doCustom to loop after processing a
meta-command. This might be a bit controversial, but as the code
is currently written, each meta-command "costs" one cycle of the
outer select() loop. Thus, for example, with the default TPC-B script,
once a backend returns "COMMIT" it will not receive a new command
until four cycles of issuing commands to other backends have elapsed.
(You can see this very easily by strace'ing pgbench under load.)
comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib
directory. Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names
in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for
indenting).
