From 817669ea27c4ecc4240adc88a12ddaed51997b00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2023 20:43:17 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Improve pglz_decompress's defenses against corrupt compressed data. When processing a match tag, check to see if the claimed "off" is more than the distance back to the output buffer start. If it is, then the data is corrupt, and what's more we would fetch from outside the buffer boundaries and potentially incur a SIGSEGV. (Although the odds of that seem relatively low, given that "off" can't be more than 4K.) Back-patch to v13; before that, this function wasn't really trying to protect against bad data. Report and fix by Flavien Guedez.
