a warning when a variable is used as a format string for printf() and similar functions (if the variable is derived from untrusted data, it could include unexpected formatting sequences). This emits too many warnings to be enabled by default, but it does flag a few dubious constructs in the Postgres tree. This patch fixes up the obvious variants: functions that are passed a variable format string but no additional arguments. Most of these are harmless (e.g. the ruleutils stuff), but there is at least one actual bug here: if you create a trigger named "%sfoo", pg_dump will read uninitialized memory and fail to dump the trigger correctly.
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 several language bindings, including C, Perl, Python, and Tcl, as well as a JDBC driver. The ODBC and C++ interfaces have been moved to the PostgreSQL Projects Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate maintenance. 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. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. 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 ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
