Richard Guo e520ad34b4 plperl: Fix NULL pointer dereference for forged array object
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
returned SV.  However, hv_fetch_string() returns a NULL pointer when
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
lacks the "array" key would crash the backend with a segmentation
fault.

Fix this by checking the pointer returned by hv_fetch_string() before
dereferencing it, matching how other callers in this file already
guard the result.  With the check in place, such an object falls
through to the existing error report instead of crashing.

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
