Tom Lane 3be381a900 Make pg_regexec() robust against out-of-range search_start.
If search_start is greater than the length of the string, we should just
return REG_NOMATCH immediately.  (Note that the equality case should
*not* be rejected, since the pattern might be able to match zero
characters.)  This guards various internal assumptions that the min of a
range of string positions is not more than the max.  Violation of those
assumptions could allow an attempt to fetch string[search_start-1],
possibly causing a crash.

Jaime Casanova pointed out that this situation is reachable with the
new regexp_xxx functions that accept a user-specified start position.
I don't believe it's reachable via any in-core call site in v14 and
below.  However, extensions could possibly call pg_regexec with an
out-of-range search_start, so let's back-patch the fix anyway.

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:

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
