The callback function pa_shutdown() accesses MyLogicalRepWorker which may
not be initialized if there is an error during the initialization of the
parallel apply worker. The other problem is that by the time it is invoked
even after the initialization of the worker, the MyLogicalRepWorker will
be reset by another callback logicalrep_worker_onexit. So, it won't have
the required information.
To fix this, register the shutdown callback after we are attached to the
worker slot.
After this fix, we observed another issue which is that sometimes the
leader apply worker tries to receive the message from the error queue that
might already be detached by the parallel apply worker leading to an
error. To prevent such an error, we ensure that the leader apply worker
detaches from the parallel apply worker's error queue before stopping it.

Commit 1de58df4, which added page-level freezing, taught VACUUM to reuse
each page's "set-visibility-map" snapshotConflictHorizon for freezing
(at least in the vast majority of cases where freezing went ahead).
This made VACUUM FREEZE much less prone to generating recovery conflicts
on standbys; VACUUM FREEZE became only slightly more likely to cause
recovery conflicts than an equivalent VACUUM.
Update old documentation that specifically warned of the likelihood of
recovery conflicts from VACUUM FREEZE. Explain the same general issue
(the issue of VACUUM generating recovery conflicts even in the absence
of dead row cleanup) using the example of conflicts caused by VISIBLE
WAL records.
If an SRF in the FROM clause references a table having row-level
security policies, and we inline that SRF into the calling query,
we neglected to mark the plan as potentially dependent on which
role is executing it. This could lead to later executions in the
same session returning or hiding rows that should have been hidden
or returned instead.

Security: CVE-2023-2455
The two methods don't cooperate, so set_config_option("search_path",
...) has been ineffective under non-empty overrideStack. This defect
enabled an attacker having database-level CREATE privilege to execute
arbitrary code as the bootstrap superuser. While that particular attack
requires v13+ for the trusted extension attribute, other attacks are
feasible in all supported versions.
Standardize on the combination of NewGUCNestLevel() and
set_config_option("search_path", ...). It is newer than
PushOverrideSearchPath(), more-prevalent, and has no known
disadvantages. The "override" mechanism remains for now, for
compatibility with out-of-tree code. Users should update such code,
which likely suffers from the same sort of vulnerability closed here.
Back-patch to v11 (all supported versions).

Commit 153e215677 added the portlock directory. This is created in
$ENV{top_builddir} if it is set. Under PGXS, top_builddir points into
the installation directory, which is not necessarily writable and in
any case inappropriate to use by a test suite. The cause of the
problem is that the prove_installcheck target in Makefile.global
exports top_builddir, which isn't useful (since no other Perl code
actually reads it) and breaks this use case. The reason this code is
there is probably that is has been dragged around with various other
changes, in particular a0fc813266, but without a real purpose of its
own. By just removing the exporting of top_builddir in
prove_installcheck, the portlock directory then ends up under
tmp_check in the build directory, which is more suitable.

RI_Initial_Check was setting up a list of RTEPermissionInfo for
ExecCheckPermissions() wrong, and the problem is subtle enough that it
doesn't have any immediate effect in core code. However, if an
extension is using the ExecutorCheckPerms_hook, then it would get the
wrong parameters and perhaps arrive at a wrong conclusion, or outright
malfunction. Fix by constructing that list and the RTE list more
honestly.
We also add an assertion check to verify that these lists match. This
new assertion would have caught this bug.

Like plperl before f47004add, plpython wasn't being sufficiently
careful about checking that list-of-list structures represent
rectangular arrays, so that it would accept some cases in which
different parts of the "array" are nested to different depths.
This was exacerbated by Python's weak distinction between
sequences and lists, so that in some cases strings could get
treated as though they are lists (and burst into individual
characters) even though a different ordering of the upper-level
list would give a different result.
Some of this behavior was unreachable (without risking a crash)
before 81eaaf65e. It seems like a good idea to clean it all up
in the same releases, rather than shipping a non-crashing but
nonetheless visibly buggy behavior in the name of minimal change.
Hence, back-patch.

During exit, the logical replication apply worker tries to release session
level locks, if any. However, if the apply worker exits due to an error
before its connection is initialized, trying to release locks can lead to
assertion failure. The locks will be acquired once the worker is

plperl, plpython, and pltcl all provide query-execution functions
that are thin wrappers around SPI_execute() or its variants.
The SPI functions document their row-count limit arguments clearly,
as "maximum number of rows to return, or 0 for no limit". However
the PLs' documentation failed to explain this special behavior of

plperl_array_to_datum() wasn't sufficiently careful about checking
that nested lists represent a rectangular array structure; it would
accept inputs such as "[1, []]". This is a bit related to the
PL/Python bug fixed in commit 81eaaf65e, but it doesn't seem to
provide any direct route to a memory stomp. Instead the likely
failure mode is for makeMdArrayResult to be passed fewer Datums than
the claimed array dimensionality requires, possibly leading to a wild

If PLySequence_ToArray came across a zero-length sublist, it'd compute
the overall array size as zero, possibly leading to a memory clobber.
(This would likely qualify as a security bug, were it not that plpython
is an untrusted language already.)
I think there are other corner-case issues in this code as well, notably
that the error messages don't match the core code and for some ranges
of array sizes you'd get "invalid memory alloc request size" rather than
the intended message about array size.
Really this code has no business doing its own array size calculation
at all, so remove the faulty code in favor of using ArrayGetNItems().

CREATE SCHEMA AUTHORIZATION with appended schema elements can lead to
crashes when comparing the schema name of the query with the schemas
used in the qualification of some clauses in the elements' queries.
The origin of the problem is that the transformation routine for the
elements listed in a CREATE SCHEMA query uses as new, expected, schema
name the one listed in CreateSchemaStmt itself. However, depending on
the query, CreateSchemaStmt.schemaname may be NULL, being computed
instead from the role specification of the query given by the
AUTHORIZATION clause, that could be either:
- A user name string, with the new schema name being set to the same
value as the role given.
- Guessed from CURRENT_ROLE, SESSION_ROLE or CURRENT_ROLE, with a new
schema name computed from the security context where CREATE SCHEMA is
running.
Regression tests are added for CREATE SCHEMA with some appended elements
(some of them with schema qualifications), covering also some role
specification patterns.
While on it, this simplifies the context structure used during the
transformation of the elements listed in a CREATE SCHEMA query by
removing the fields for the role specification and the role type. They
were not used, and for the role specification this could be confusing as
the schema name may by extracted from that at the beginning of
CreateSchemaCommand().
This issue exists for a long time, so backpatch down to all the versions
supported.

As written, pg_dump would call twice parse_compress_specification() for
the custom and directory formats to build a compression specification if
no compression option is defined, as these formats should be compressed
by default when compiled with zlib, or use no compression without zlib.
This made the code logic quite confusing, and the first compression
specification built would be incorrect before being overwritten by the
second one.
Rather than creating two compression specifications, this commit changes
a bit the order of the checks for the compression options so as
compression_algorithm_str is now set to a correct value for the custom
and format directory when no compression option is defined. This makes
the code easier to understand, as parse_compress_specification() is now
called once for all the format, with or without user-specified
compression methods. One comment was also confusing for the non-zlib
case, so remove it while on it.
This code has been introduced in 5e73a60 when adding support for
compression specifications in pg_dump.
