The only overflow hazards I could find in tsquery construction are in QTN2QT(), which builds a flat tsquery datum from the QTNode tree representation used by tsquery_or, tsquery_rewrite, and allied functions. There are two: 1. It seems theoretically possible for the outputs of cntsize() to overflow an int, so I widened them to size_t. There's no hazard certainly in tsquery_or and friends, but tsquery_rewrite could expand the query tree by large multiples (by replacing many identical subtrees with a large replacement tree), so in a 64-bit machine with plenty of available memory it should be possible to build a QTNode tree large enough to cause that. If these counters did overflow then we'd under-allocate the output tsquery and have a heap overwrite problem. size_t is sufficient, since it's counting the size of a subset of an in-memory data structure. We also have to fix the TSQUERY_TOO_BIG() macro to not get confused if sumlen exceeds MaxAllocSize. 2. fillQT() neglects to check that the new "distance" value for a QI_VAL item fits into the available 20-bit field. It's quite easy to reach this, for example by tsquery_or'ing two near-megabyte-sized tsquerys. However, the result is only a corrupt tsquery that does not represent the expected query, so perhaps this doesn't rise to the level of a security bug. Nonetheless it should be fixed. Note: I followed the practice used in other tsquery code of checking each distance value as it's assigned, which means that the last operand string could extend past the MAXSTRPOS boundary. This is a bit different from the pattern used for tsvectors, which insist that the total data length not exceed MAXSTRPOS and thereby avoid making per-item checks. Perhaps that should be harmonized sometime, but for now it's okay for the two types to do this differently as long as each one is self-consistent.
