Michael Paquier c95275f18b Apply timingsafe_bcmp() in authentication paths
This commit applies timingsafe_bcmp() to authentication paths that
handle attributes or data previously compared with memcpy() or strcmp(),
which are sensitive to timing attacks.

The following data is concerned by this change, some being in the
backend and some in the frontend:
- For a SCRAM or MD5 password, the computed key or the MD5 hash compared
with a password during a plain authentication.
- For a SCRAM exchange, the stored key, the client's final nonce and the
server nonce.
- RADIUS (up to v18), the encrypted password.
- For MD5 authentication, the MD5(MD5()) hash.

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:

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.
