From 844486216eeb5b483c7b45c13b05dce76387c69a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2015 12:11:32 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Fix possible internal overflow in numeric multiplication. mul_var() postpones propagating carries until it risks overflow in its internal digit array. However, the logic failed to account for the possibility of overflow in the carry propagation step, allowing wrong results to be generated in corner cases. We must slightly reduce the when-to-propagate-carries threshold to avoid that. Discovered and fixed by Dean Rasheed, with small adjustments by me. This has been wrong since commit d72f6c75038d8d37e64a29a04b911f728044d83b, so back-patch to all supported branches. --- src/backend/utils/adt/numeric.c | 14 ++++++++++---- src/test/regress/expected/numeric.out | 27 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/test/regress/sql/numeric.sql | 12 ++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 49 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/backend/utils/adt/numeric.c b/src/backend/utils/adt/numeric.c index 77e5af7c097..3475f9cffbd 100644 --- a/src/backend/utils/adt/numeric.c +++ b/src/backend/utils/adt/numeric.c @@ -4448,9 +4448,15 @@ mul_var(NumericVar *var1, NumericVar *var2, NumericVar *result, * to avoid normalizing carries immediately. * * maxdig tracks the maximum possible value of any dig[] entry; when this - * threatens to exceed INT_MAX, we take the time to propagate carries.
