Subject: pgsql: Check CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT response shape in libpqwalreceiver
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 04:41:52 +0000
Message-ID: <E1wkDux-000Ocr-29@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)
Check CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT response shape in libpqwalreceiver
Previously, libpqrcv_create_slot() checked only that
CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT returned PGRES_TUPLES_OK before reading
values from the first row. If the server unexpectedly returned an
invalid result, such as zero rows, PQgetvalue() could return NULL,
leading to a crash while parsing the LSN.
Other replication commands, such as IDENTIFY_SYSTEM, already validate
the response shape before accessing result values, but
CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT did not.
Fix this by verifying that CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT response contains
exactly one row with four fields, and report a protocol violation otherwise.
Backpatch to all supported versions.
