In pqSendSome, if the connection is already closed at entry, discard any queued output data before returning. There is no possibility of ever sending the data, and anyway this corresponds to what we'd do if we'd detected a hard error while trying to send(). This avoids possible indefinite bloat of the output buffer if the application keeps trying to send data (or even just keeps trying to do PQputCopyEnd, as psql indeed will). Because PQputCopyEnd won't transition out of PGASYNC_COPY_IN state until it's successfully queued the COPY END message, and pqPutMsgEnd doesn't distinguish a queuing failure from a pqSendSome failure, this omission allowed an infinite loop in psql if the connection closure occurred when we had at least 8K queued to send. It might be worth refactoring so that we can make that distinction, but for the moment the other changes made here seem to offer adequate defenses. To guard against other variants of this scenario, do not allow PQgetResult to return a PGRES_COPY_XXX result if the connection is already known dead. Make sure it returns PGRES_FATAL_ERROR instead. Per report from Stephen Frost. Back-patch to all active branches. |

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: http://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 http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
