Tom Lane 1564e92cea Require the issuer of CREATE TYPE to own the functions mentioned in the 
type definition.  Because use of a type's I/O conversion functions isn't
access-checked, CREATE TYPE amounts to granting public execute permissions
on the functions, and so allowing it to anybody means that someone could
theoretically gain access to a function he's not supposed to be able to
execute.  The parameter-type restrictions already enforced by CREATE TYPE
make it fairly unlikely that this oversight is meaningful in practice,
but still it seems like a good idea to plug the hole going forward.
Also, document the implicit grant just in case anybody gets the idea of
building I/O functions that might need security restrictions.

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.

The JDBC, ODBC, C++, Python, and Tcl interfaces have been moved to the
PostgreSQL Projects Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate
maintenance.  A Perl DBI/DBD driver is available from CPAN.

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/.
