We allow users to set the values of not-yet-loaded extension GUCs, remembering those values in "placeholder" GUC entries. When/if the extension is loaded later in the session, we need to verify that the user had permissions to set the GUC. That was done correctly before commit a0ffa885e, but as of that commit, we'd check the permissions of the active role when the LOAD happens, not the role that had set the value. (This'd be a security bug if it had made it into a released version.) In principle this is simple enough to fix: we just need to remember the exact role OID that set each GUC value, and use that not GetUserID() when verifying permissions. Maintaining that data in the guc.c data structures is slightly tedious, but fortunately it's all basically just copy-n-paste of the logic for tracking the GucSource of each setting, as we were already doing. Another oversight is that validate_option_array_item() hadn't been taught to check for granted GUC privileges. This appears to manifest only in that ALTER ROLE/DATABASE RESET ALL will fail to reset settings that the user should be allowed to reset. Patch by myself and Nathan Bossart, per report from Nathan Bossart. Back-patch to v15 where the faulty code came in. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20220706224727.GA2158260@nathanxps13

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.
