The float4 and float8 btree_gist opclasses compared keys with raw C
operators (==, <, >). IEEE 754 makes every comparison involving NaN
false, so GiST disagreed with the regular float comparison operators
and with the btree opclass, which uses float[4|8]_cmp_internal()
(so that all NaNs are equal and NaN sorts after every non-NaN value).
In addition, the penalty and distance functions were not careful
about NaNs, and the penalty functions could also misbehave for IEEE
infinities. Wrong answers from the penalty functions would probably
do no more than make the index non-optimal, but the distance mistakes
were visible from SQL.
To fix, make the comparison functions rely on the same NaN-aware
comparison functions the core code uses, and rewrite the penalty
and distance functions to follow the rules that NaNs are equal
but maximally far away from non-NaNs. The penalty_num() code was
formerly shared between integral and float cases, but I chose to make
two copies so that the integral cases are not saddled with the extra
logic for NaNs and infinities/overflows. I also rewrote it as static
inline functions instead of an unreadable and uncommented macro.
The float penalty functions were previously unreached by the
regression tests, so add new test cases to exercise them.
There's no on-disk format change, but users who have NaN entries
in a btree_gist index would be well advised to reindex it.

Previously, if a base backup failed after it had started streaming
files, pg_stat_progress_basebackup could continue to show a stale
progress entry even though the backup was no longer running. This could
be observed when the client kept the replication connection open after
the error. It is normally not observable when using pg_basebackup,
because the client disconnects after the error.
The problem was that progress reporting was cleared only after
successful completion.
This commit moves the progress reporting cleanup into the progress
sink's cleanup callback so that it is cleared after both successful
and failed backups.
Backpatch to v15. v14 has the same issue, but the fix does not apply
cleanly because it lacks the base backup sink infrastructure. Since
the bug does not affect the backup itself and is normally not
observable when using pg_basebackup, skip the v14 backpatch.

off_t is most likely a 64-bit integer, so casting it to a 32-bit type
for output could lose data. There are more issues like this in the

Previously, if an unlogged sequence was created on the primary and
replicated to a standby, reading the sequence after promoting the
standby (for example, with nextval()) could trigger the following
assertion failure:
TRAP: failed Assert("((const PageHeaderData *) page)->pd_special >= SizeOfPageHeaderData")
In non-assert builds, the same operation could instead fail with an
error such as:
ERROR: bad magic number in sequence
The problem was that seq_redo() updated the init fork page in shared
buffers but did not flush it to disk. During promotion,
ResetUnloggedRelations() recreates the main fork of unlogged
relations by copying the init fork from disk, bypassing shared
buffers. As a result, the main fork could be recreated from a stale
init fork instead of the WAL-replayed page.
Fix this by introducing a helper to flush init fork buffers
immediately, and make seq_redo() use it. As a result, the main fork
of an unlogged sequence is recreated from the up-to-date init fork on
disk, allowing the unlogged sequence to be read successfully after
standby promotion.
Backpatch to v15, where unlogged sequences were introduced.

PL/Python and its hstore and jsonb transforms build SQL values from
Python containers by calling Python C API functions that can return
NULL, and in several places the result was used without first checking
it.
On the sequence side, PySequence_GetItem() is used when converting a
returned sequence into a SQL array or composite value, when reading
the argument list passed to plpy.execute() or plpy.cursor(), and when
reading the list of type names given to plpy.prepare(). On the
mapping side, the hstore and jsonb transforms call PyMapping_Size()
and PyMapping_Items() and then index the result with PyList_GetItem()
and PyTuple_GetItem().
All of these return NULL (or -1), with a Python exception set, for a
broken object: for example one whose __getitem__() or items() raises,
or which reports a length that disagrees with what it actually yields.
The unchecked result was then dereferenced, crashing the backend.
Fix this by checking the result of each call and reporting a regular
error if it failed, so that the underlying Python exception is
surfaced instead of taking down the session.

In get_perl_array_ref(), for a PostgreSQL::InServer::ARRAY object, we
look up its "array" key with hv_fetch_string() and then inspect the

the key is absent, and the code dereferenced that result without first
checking whether the pointer itself was NULL. As a result, a plperl
function returning a forged PostgreSQL::InServer::ARRAY object that

Fix this by checking the pointer returned by hv_fetch_string() before

pg_mkdir_p creates each missing path component with a stat() followed
by mkdir(). If the stat() reports the component as absent but another
process creates it in the window before this process's mkdir(), mkdir()
fails with EEXIST and pg_mkdir_p treated that as a hard error -- unlike
"mkdir -p", which is meant to be idempotent and race-tolerant.
This shows up when several processes concurrently create paths that
share an ancestor directory: for example, parallel initdb runs whose
data directories live under a common temporary directory. One process
wins the race to create the shared ancestor and the others fail with
could not create directory "...": File exists
Fix this race condition by first trying mkdir() and only attempting
stat() if it fails with EEXIST.
On Windows, there's an additional problem: stat() opens a file handle
and participates in share-mode locking, which means it can transiently
fail on a directory another process is concurrently creating. Use
GetFileAttributes() instead: it requests only FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES
and is exempt from share-mode denial, so it reliably sees a
concurrently-created directory.

The two-argument jsonb @? and @@ operators invoke the jsonpath executor
with no variable set. In that case getJsonPathVariable() treated any
"$name" reference as JSON null and continued evaluating, instead of
reporting the variable as undefined.
This produced incorrect results -- for example '42'::jsonb @? '$"x"'
returned true -- and, for some malformed or hostile jsonpath expressions
with deeply nested predicates, allowed essentially unbounded memory
consumption that could get the backend killed by the OOM killer.
Report the undefined variable as an error in this case as well, reusing
the message already emitted when a variable is not found among supplied
variables. This matches the behavior of v17 and later, where the
jsonpath executor was reorganized. Stopping at the first undefined
variable reference also resolves the reported memory-growth case.
Note this is a user-visible change in the back branches: a jsonpath
expression that references a variable while no variables are supplied now
raises an error rather than silently evaluating it as NULL. The previous
behavior was incorrect, so the change is judged worthwhile.

pgstat_drop_entry_internal() generates an ERROR if facing a pgstats
entry already marked as dropped. With a workload doing a lot of
concurrent CALL and DROP/CREATE PROCEDURE, it could be possible for
AtEOXact_PgStat_DroppedStats(), that wants to do transactional drops, to
find entries that are already dropped, after a commit record has been
written. In this case, ERRORs are upgraded to PANIC, taking down the
server.
This issue is fixed by making pgstat_drop_entry() optionally more
tolerant to concurrent drops, adding to the routine a missing_ok option
to make some of its callers more tolerant (spoiler: some of the callers
want a strict behavior, like replication slots and backend stats).
pgstat_drop_entry_internal() cannot be called anymore for an entry
marked as dropped, hence its error is replaced by an assertion.
Functions are handled as a special case in core; this problem could also
apply to custom stats kinds depending on what an extension does.
track_functions is costly when enabled (disabled by default), which is
perhaps the main reason why this has not be found yet.

If standby_1 finishes ahead of standby_2, the test would be able work

The error path in ReorderBufferProcessTXN was not freeing
(reorderbuffer.c's representation of) a speculative insertion record
correctly. In assert-enabled builds, this leads to an assertion

transient leak, but in an improbable code path such as this, such a leak
is not of any significance. For users running with assertions enabled,
the crash is annoying.

The expression (len_diff * 10 * (an + 1)) used as the return value of
ltree_compare() is computed at int32 width. With LTREE_MAX_LEVELS =
65535, the product can exceed INT32_MAX once an ltree has more than
~14,653 levels, which causes the result to wrap and invert its sign.
That corrupts btree ordering as well as the "magnitude" consumed by
ltree_penalty() for GiST page splits.
To fix, split ltree_compare() into two functions. The new
ltree_compare_distance() function returns a float, which won't
overflow. It's used by the ltree_penalty() caller. All the other
callers only care about the sign of the return value, i.e. which of
the arguments is greater, so change ltree_compare() to not multiply
the result with (10 * (an + 1)), which avoids the overflow for those
callers.
Existing btree or GiST indexes on ltree columns containing values with
more than ~14,653 levels may be corrupt and should be REINDEXed.

Our handling of quoting within replication commands was pretty
sloppy, typically looking like
appendStringInfo(&cmd, " SLOT \"%s\"", options->slotname);
This is fine as long as options->slotname doesn't contain a double
quote mark, but what if it does? In principle this'd allow injection
of harmful options into replication commands, in the probably-unlikely
case that a slot name comes from untrustworthy input. We ought to
clean that up.
Moreover, even the places that were trying to be more careful
generally got it wrong, because they used quoting subroutines
intended for SQL commands rather than something that will work
with the replication-command scanner repl_scanner.l. For example,
several places naively use PQescapeLiteral() to quote option values
for replication commands. If the string contains a backslash,
PQescapeLiteral() will produce E'...' literal syntax, which
repl_scanner.l doesn't recognize. Another near miss was to use
quote_identifier() to quote identifiers. That function won't quote
valid lowercase identifiers unless they match SQL keywords ... but in
this context, replication keywords are what matter. Neither of these
errors seem to risk string injection, but they definitely can cause
syntax errors in replication commands that ought to be valid.
We can clean all this up by using simple quoting logic that just
doubles single or double quotes respectively.
Or at least, we could if repl_scanner.l handled doubled double quotes
in identifiers, but for some reason it doesn't! So the first step in
this fix has to be to fix that. (The fact that we'll later reject
slot names containing double quotes is very far short of justifying
this omission.)
Having done that, this patch runs around and applies correct
quoting in all places that generate replication commands containing
strings coming from outside the immediate context. Probably some
of these places are safe because of restrictions elsewhere, but it
seems best to just quote all the time.
This was originally reported as a security bug, which it could be
if replication slot names or parameters were to originate from
untrustworthy sources. But the security team concluded that that
was a very improbable situation, so we're just going to fix this
as a regular bug.

OpenSSL 4.0.0 changed some parameters and returnvalues to const, so
we need to update our declarations and subsequently cast away const-
ness from a few callsites to make libpq build without warnings. This
is tested with OpenSSL 1.1.1 through 4.0.0 as well as with LibreSSL.
No functional change is introduced, this commit only allows postgres
to be compiled against OpenSSL 4.0.0 without warnings.
There is also an errormessage change in OpenSSL 4.0.0 which needed
to be covered by our testharness.
This will be backpatched to all supported branches since they are
all equally likely to be built against OpenSSL 4.0.0 as it becomes
available in distributions. Backpatching will be done once it has
been in master for a few days without issues.

read_local_xlog_page_guts has the same race as logical_read_xlog_page:
RecoveryInProgress() can return true during promotion, impacting the
availability of the operations doing WAL page reads with this callback.
This problem is similar to eb4e7224a1 that has addressed the issue for
logical replication, impacting more areas of the code where this WAL
page callback can be used (same narrow window during promotion, same
availability issue):
- pg_walinspect.
- Slot advance (SQL function).
- Slot creation.
Repack workers (v19~) and 2PC files (since forever) can also use this
callback, but they are irrelevant as far as I know. A test is added
with the SQL lookup functions. This part relies on injection points,
and is backpatched down to v18, like the test added for eb4e7224a1.
This issue could probably be fixed as well in v14 and v15 for
pg_walinspect. However, I also feel that there is a conservative
argument about consistency here due to the support of logical decoding
on standbys, so let's limit ourselves to v16 for now. pg_walinspect is
used less in the field compared to the two other operations, making
addressing this problem less attractive in these two older branches.

transformJsonParseArg() was not careful enough on generation of
transformed expressions when starting from expressions that are not
coercible to text but are in the string type category: it failed to
verify that coerce_to_target_type() succeeds, and returned a NULL
pointer. This leads to a later NULL dereference and crash at executor
time.
This escaped noticed because it cannot happen for built-in types, all of
which have casts to text. Only user-created types are potentially
problematic.
Fix by raising an error when a cast to text doesn't exist.
This mistake came in with commit 6ee30209a6.

When printing the upper boundary of a seg interval, seg_out() decided
whether to emit the certainty indicator ('<', '>' or '~') by testing the
upper indicator (u_ext) for '<' and '>', but mistakenly tested the lower
indicator (l_ext) for '~'. This is a copy-and-paste slip from the
symmetric code that prints the lower boundary a few lines above.
The consequences for valid input were:
* A '~' on the upper boundary was dropped on output, e.g.
'1.5 .. ~2.5'::seg printed as '1.5 .. 2.5'.
* When the lower boundary carried '~' but the upper boundary had no
indicator, the wrong test matched and sprintf(p, "%c", seg->u_ext)
wrote a NUL byte (u_ext == '\0'), which truncated the result string
and silently lost the entire upper boundary, e.g.
'~6.5 .. 8.5'::seg printed as '~6.5 .. '.
Certainty indicators are documented to be preserved on output (they are
ignored by the operators, but kept as comments), so this broke the
input/output round-trip for the affected values.
The bug has existed since seg was added. It went unnoticed because the
existing regression tests only exercised certainty indicators on
single-point segs, which are printed by a different branch of seg_out().
Add tests that place indicators on both boundaries of an interval.

During promotion, there is a window where RecoveryInProgress() returns
true but the WAL segments of the old timeline have already been removed.
A logical decoding could pick up the old timeline in this window when
reading a page, failing with the following error:
ERROR: requested WAL segment ... has already been removed
This issue does not lead to any data correctness issue, as retrying to
decode the data works in follow-up decoding attempts. It impacts
availability, though. Other WAL page read callbacks have a similar
issue, this commit takes care of what should be the noisiest code path:
logical decoding with START_REPLICATION in a WAL sender.
A TAP test, based on an injection point waiting in the startup process
after the segments have been removed/recycled, is added. This part is
backpatched down to v17.
This issue has been causing sporadic failures in the buildfarm, and
was reproducible manually. This issue happens since logical decoding on
standbys exists, down to v16.

This routine is able to return the WAL insertion timeline. Contrary to
GetWALInsertionTimeLine(), this can be called before recovery is marked
as done in shared memory, just after InsertTimeLineID has been set. So
it can offer more flexibility in terms of timeline detection without
depending on RecoveryInProgress().
This routine will be used in a follow-up fix that will be applied down
to v16, and it has been introduced in 53b327f83e (v17~).

Strings built by this function are not supposed to be subject to
NLS translation, but commit 6566133c5 missed that memo, so that
object identities like "membership of role %s in role %s" were
translated.
Previously, outlen was miscalculated if case_sensitive was false and
str_tolower() changed the byte length of the string. If outlen was too
large, pnstrdup() would stop at the NUL terminator, preventing
overrun. But if outlen was too small, it would cause truncation.
Fix by just removing outlen. It was only used in a single site, which
could just as well use pstrdup().

The operators for array_eq, record_eq, range_eq, and multirange_eq
are all marked oprcanhash, but there's a pitfall: their hash functions
can fail at runtime if the contained type(s) are not hashable.
Therefore, the planner has to check hashability of the contained types
before deciding it can use hashing in these cases. Not every place
had gotten this memo, and noplace at all had considered the issue
for ranges or multiranges. In particular we could attempt to use
hashing for a ScalarArrayOpExpr on a container type when it won't
actually work, leading to "could not identify a hash function ..."
runtime failures.
For the most part we should fix this in the lookup functions provided
by lsyscache.c, to wit get_op_hash_functions and op_hashjoinable.
But there's a problem: get_op_hash_functions is not passed the input
data type it would need to check. We mustn't change the API of that
exported function in a back-patched fix, and even if we wanted to,
its call sites in the executor mostly don't have easy access to the
required data type OID. Fortunately, the executor call sites don't
actually need fixing, because it's expected that the planner verified
hashability before building a plan that requires it. Therefore,
leave get_op_hash_functions as-is and invent a wrapper function
get_op_hash_functions_ext that does the additional checking needed
in the planner's uses.
We also need to fix hash_ok_operator (extending the fix in 647889667).
While at it, neaten up a couple of places in lookup_type_cache where
relevant code for multirange cases was written differently from the
code for other container types.
Note: while this touches pg_operator.dat, it's only to add oid_symbol
macros. So there's no on-disk data change and no need for a
catversion bump.

The security team has received a couple of reports about potential
SQL injection via refint's trigger arguments. We discussed this
while preparing CVE-2026-6637 and concluded that forcibly quoting
these arguments is more likely to break working code than to
prevent exploits. Unlike data values, the table/column names come
from trigger arguments, and there is little reason for a trigger
author to put hostile inputs into those arguments. So, let's
document it accordingly.

Before v17, WAL senders can shut down after the checkpointer. If a WAL
sender still has pending statistics when the checkpointer has already
exited, its shutdown callback may attempt to report those statistics and
trigger assertions in pgstats. In that case, the pending statistics are
lost.
This commit adjusts the assertion handling so that attempts to report
pending WAL sender statistics after the checkpointer has completed its
final stats flush are skipped.
Preserving the existing assertion would require backpatching an
equivalent of 87a6690cc6, ensuring that the checkpointer is always the
last process to exit. Such a change would be considerably more invasive
and risky for stable branches because it alters the shutdown sequence,
and the consequence is only some loss of stats data for the WAL sender.
This assertion failure was periodically detected in the buildfarm,
leading to spurious failures.

Presently, refint stores plans in a per-backend cache to avoid
re-preparing in each call. This has a few problems. For one,
check_foreign_key() embeds the new key values in its cascade-UPDATE
queries, so a cached plan reuses the values from preparation.
Also, the cache is never invalidated, so it can return stale
entries that cause other problems. There may very well be more
bugs lurking.
We could spend a lot of time trying to address all these problems,
but this module is primarily intended as sample code, and by all
indications, it sees minimal use. Furthermore, there is a growing
consensus for removing refint in v20. However, since we'll need to
support it on the back-branches for a while longer, it probably
still makes sense to fix some of the more egregious bugs.
Therefore, let's just remove refint's plan cache entirely. That
means we'll re-prepare on every call, but that seems quite unlikely
to bother anyone. On v17 and older versions, the regression test
for triggers fails after this change, so I've borrowed pieces of
commit 8cfbdf8f4d to fix it.

which is incorrect based on the Unicode specification (TBASE is one
below the start of the range, range beginning at U+11A8).

This commit addresses two related issues:
tsvector_filter() assumed it could print an incorrect weight value
with %c. This could result in an invalidly-encoded error message
if the database encoding is multibyte and the char value has its
high bit set. Weight values that are ASCII control characters
could render illegibly too. Fix by printing such values in octal
(\ooo), similarly to how charout() would render them.
tsvector_setweight() and tsvector_setweight_by_filter() reported
the same unrecognized-weight error condition with elog(), as though
it were an internal error. That'd not translate, would produce an
unwanted XX000 SQLSTATE code, and also reported the bad value as a
decimal integer which seems unhelpful. Fix by refactoring so that
all three functions share one copy of the code that interprets a
weight argument.
The invalid-encoding aspect seems to me (tgl) to justify
back-patching.
