Despite the clear comments pointing out that the duplicative code segments in ReadHead() and _discoverArchiveFormat() needed to be in sync, they were not: the latter did not bother to apply any of the sanity checks in the former. We'd missed noticing this partly because none of those checks would fail in scenarios we customarily test, and partly because the oversight would be masked if both segments execute, which they would in cases other than needing to autodetect the format of a non-seekable stdin source. However, in a case meeting all these requirements --- for example, trying to read a newer-than-supported archive format from non-seekable stdin --- pg_restore missed applying the version check and would likely dump core or otherwise misbehave. The whole thing is silly anyway, because there seems little reason to duplicate the logic beyond the one-line verification that the file starts with "PGDMP". There seems to have been an undocumented assumption that multiple major formats (major enough to require separate reader modules) would nonetheless share the first half-dozen fields of the custom-format header. This seems unlikely, so let's fix it by just nuking the duplicate logic in _discoverArchiveFormat(). Also get rid of the pointless attempt to seek back to the start of the file after successful autodetection. That wastes cycles and it means we have four behaviors to verify not two. Per bug #16951 from Sergey Koposov. This has been broken for decades, so back-patch to all supported versions. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16951-a4dd68cf0de23048@postgresql.org |
