Tom Lane 5a421a47eb Fix inadequately-sized output buffer in contrib/unaccent. 
The output buffer size in unaccent_lexize() was calculated as input string
length times pg_database_encoding_max_length(), which effectively assumes
that replacement strings aren't more than one character.  While that was
all that we previously documented it to support, the code actually has
always allowed replacement strings of arbitrary length; so if you tried
to make use of longer strings, you were at risk of buffer overrun.  To fix,
use an expansible StringInfo buffer instead of trying to determine the
maximum space needed a-priori.

This would be a security issue if unaccent rules files could be installed
by unprivileged users; but fortunately they can't, so in the back branches
the problem can be labeled as improper configuration by a superuser.
Nonetheless, a memory stomp isn't a nice way of reacting to improper
configuration, so let's back-patch the fix.

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:

	http://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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
