The macaddr opclass stores two macaddr structs (each of size 6) in an index column that's declared as being of type gbtreekey16, ie 16 bytes. In the original coding this led to passing a palloc'd value of size 12 to the index insertion code, so that data would be fetched past the end of the allocated value during index tuple construction. This makes valgrind unhappy. In principle it could result in a SIGSEGV, though with the current implementation of palloc there's no risk since the 12-byte request size would be rounded up to 16 bytes anyway. To fix, add a field to struct gbtree_ninfo showing the declared size of the index datums, and use that in the palloc requests; and use palloc0 to be sure that any wasted bytes are cleanly initialized. Per report from Andres Freund. No back-patch since there's no current risk of a real problem.
PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
