Subject: pgsql: Add additional sanity checks when reading a blkreftable.
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 18:02:32 +0000
Message-ID: <E1wk3wF-000Kam-17@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Add additional sanity checks when reading a blkreftable.

Code elsewhere in the system assumes that fork numbers and chunk sizes
are within bounds, so the code that reads those quantities from disk
should validate that they are. Without these additional checks, a
corrupted file can cause us to index off the end of fork number or chunk
entry arrays, potentially resulting in a crash.
