pg_locale_icu.c was full of places where a very long input string could cause integer overflow while calculating a buffer size, leading to buffer overruns. It also was cavalier about using char-type local arrays as buffers holding arrays of UChar. The alignment of a char[] variable isn't guaranteed, so that this risked failure on alignment-picky platforms. The lack of complaints suggests that such platforms are very rare nowadays; but it's likely that we are paying a performance price on rather more platforms. Declare those arrays as UChar[] instead, keeping their physical size the same. pg_locale_libc.c's strncoll_libc_win32_utf8() also had the disease of assuming it could double or quadruple the input string length without concern for overflow.

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: https://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 https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
