When building a JSON object, the code builds a hash table of keys, to allow checking if the keys are unique. The uniqueness check and adding the new key happens in json_unique_check_key(), but this assumes the pointer to the key remains valid. Unfortunately, two places passed pointers to keys in a buffer, while also appending more data (additional key/value pairs) to the buffer. With enough data the buffer is resized by enlargeStringInfo(), which calls repalloc(), invalidating the earlier key pointers. Due to this the uniqueness check may fail with both false negatives and false positives, producing JSON objects with duplicate keys or failing to produce a perfectly valid JSON object. This affects multiple functions that enforce uniqueness of keys, all introduced in PG16 with the new SQL/JSON: - json_object_agg_unique / jsonb_object_agg_unique - json_object / jsonb_objectagg Existing regression tests did not detect the issue, simply because the initial buffer size is 1024 and the objects were small enough not to require the repalloc. With a sufficiently large object, AddressSanitizer reported the access to invalid memory immediately. So would valgrind, of course. Fixed by copying the key into the hash table memory context, and adding regression tests with enough data to repalloc the buffer. Backpatch to 16, where the functions were introduced. Reported by Alexander Lakhin. Investigation and initial fix by Junwang Zhao, with various improvements and tests by me.
