Alvaro Herrera bf78a6f107 Add missing checks to some of pageinspect's BRIN functions
brin_page_type() and brin_metapage_info() did not enforce being called
by superuser, like other pageinspect functions that take bytea do.
Since they don't verify the passed page thoroughly, it is possible to
use them to read the server memory with a carefully crafted bytea value,
up to a file kilobytes from where the input bytea is located.

Have them throw errors if called by a non-superuser.

Report and initial patch: Andreas Seltenreich

Security: CVE-2016-3065

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------

This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree.  This does not preclude their
usefulness.

User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.

When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target.  You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.

Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types.  To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command.  In a fresh database,
you can simply do

    CREATE EXTENSION module_name;

See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
