The lquery parser in contrib/ltree/ had two overflow problems:
- A single lquery level with many OR-separated variants (e.g.,
'label1|label2|...'), could cause an overflow of totallen, this being
stored as a uint16, meaning a maximum value of UINT16_MAX or 65k. Each
variant contributes MAXALIGN(LVAR_HDRSIZE + len) bytes. With enough
long variants, the value would wraparound. This would corrupt the data
written by LQL_NEXT(), leading to a stack corruption, most likely
translating into a crash, but it would allow incorrect memory access.
- numvar, labelled as a uint16, counts the number of OR-variants in a
single level, and it is incremented without bounds checking. With more
than PG_UINT16_MAX (65k) variants in a single level, and a minimum of
131kB of input data, it would wrap to 0. When a (wildcard) '*' is
used, this would change the query results silently.
For both issues, a set of overflows checks are added to guard against
these problematic patterns.
The first issue has been reported by the three people listed below,

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
