Perl can be convinced to execute user-defined code during compilation of a plperl function (or at least a plperlu function). That's not such a big problem as long as the activity is confined within the Perl interpreter, and it's not clear we could do anything about that anyway. However, if such code tries to use plperl's SPI functions, we have a bigger problem. In the first place, those functions are likely to crash because current_call_data->prodesc isn't set up yet. In the second place, because it isn't set up, we lack critical info such as whether the function is supposed to be read-only. And in the third place, this path allows code execution during function validation, which is strongly discouraged because of the potential for security exploits. Hence, reject execution of the SPI functions until compilation is finished. While here, add check_spi_usage_allowed() calls to various functions that hadn't gotten the memo about checking that. I think that perhaps plperl_sv_to_literal may have been intentionally omitted on the grounds that it was safe at the time; but if so, the addition of transforms functionality changed that. The others are more recently added and seem to be flat-out oversights. Per report from Mark Murawski. Back-patch to all supported branches.

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/.
