Tom Lane 2ac5988747 Fix misparsing of non-newline-terminated pg_hba.conf files. 
This back-patches the v10-cycle commit 1e5a5d03d into 9.3 - 9.6.
I had noticed at the time that that was fixing a bug, namely that
next_token() might advance *lineptr past the line-terminating '\0',
but given the lack of field complaints I too easily convinced myself
that the problem was only latent.  It's not, because tokenize_file()
decides whether there's more on the line using "strlen(lineptr)".

The bug is indeed latent on a newline-terminated line, because then
the newline-stripping bit in tokenize_file() means we'll have two
or more consecutive '\0's in the buffer, masking the fact that we
accidentally advanced over the first one.  But the last line in
the file might not be null-terminated, allowing the loop to see
and process garbage, as reported by Mark Jones in bug #14859.

The bug doesn't exist in <= 9.2; there next_token() is reading directly
from a file, and termination of the outer loop relies on an feof() test
not a buffer pointer check.  Probably commit 7f49a67f9 can be blamed
for this bug, but I didn't track it down exactly.

Commit 1e5a5d03d does a bit more than the minimum needed to fix the
bug, but I felt the rest of it was good cleanup, so applying it all.

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/.
