Tom Lane 063dd37ebc Short-circuit slice requests that are for more than the object's size.
substring(), and perhaps other callers, isn't careful to pass a
slice length that is no more than the datum's true size.  Since
toast_decompress_datum_slice's children will palloc the requested
slice length, this can waste memory.  Also, close study of the liblz4
documentation suggests that it is dependent on the caller to not ask
for more than the correct amount of decompressed data; this squares
with observed misbehavior with liblz4 1.8.3.  Avoid these problems
by switching to the normal full-decompression code path if the
slice request is >= datum's decompressed size.

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/.
