From c26d46ff6d6e10e8ac1ecf80f8cf9014e3efe418 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2017 16:33:20 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Fix corner-case coredump in _SPI_error_callback(). I noticed that _SPI_execute_plan initially sets spierrcontext.arg = NULL, and only fills it in some time later. If an error were to happen in between, _SPI_error_callback would try to dereference the null pointer. This is unlikely --- there's not much between those points except push-snapshot calls --- but it's clearly not impossible. Tweak the callback to do nothing if the pointer isn't set yet. It's been like this for awhile, so back-patch to all supported branches. --- src/backend/executor/spi.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/backend/executor/spi.c b/src/backend/executor/spi.c index b809bec616d..ffa190aa838 100644 --- a/src/backend/executor/spi.c +++ b/src/backend/executor/spi.c @@ -2450,6 +2450,9 @@ _SPI_error_callback(void *arg) const char *query = (const char *) arg; int syntaxerrposition; + if (query == NULL) /* in case arg wasn't set yet */ + return; + /* * If there is a syntax error position, convert to internal syntax error; * otherwise treat the query as an item of context stack
