While we were (mostly) careful about ensuring that the dimensions of arrays aren't large enough to cause integer overflow, the lower bound values were generally not checked. This allows situations where lower_bound + dimension overflows an integer. It seems that that's harmless so far as array reading is concerned, except that array elements with subscripts notionally exceeding INT_MAX are inaccessible. However, it confuses various array-assignment logic, resulting in a potential for memory stomps. Fix by adding checks that array lower bounds aren't large enough to cause lower_bound + dimension to overflow. (Note: this results in disallowing cases where the last subscript position would be exactly INT_MAX. In principle we could probably allow that, but there's a lot of code that computes lower_bound + dimension and would need adjustment. It seems doubtful that it's worth the trouble/risk to allow it.) Somewhat independently of that, array_set_element() was careless about possible overflow when checking the subscript of a fixed-length array, creating a different route to memory stomps. Fix that too. Security: CVE-2021-32027 |

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/.
