Noah Misch e75b5c8554 Reject CancelRequestPacket having unexpected length.
When the length was too short, the server read outside the allocation.
That yielded the same log noise as sending the correct length with
(backendPID,cancelAuthCode) matching nothing.  Change to a message about
the unexpected length.  Given the attacker's lack of control over the
memory layout and the general lack of diversity in memory layouts at the
code in question, we doubt a would-be attacker could cause a segfault.
Hence, while the report arrived via security@postgresql.org, this is not
a vulnerability.  Back-patch to v11 (all supported versions).

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/.
