Tom Lane cb66f495f5 Fix misuse of memcpy() in check_ip(). 
The previous coding copied garbage into a local variable, pretty much
ensuring that the intended test of an IPv6 connection address against a
promoted IPv4 address from pg_hba.conf would never match.  The lack of
field complaints likely indicates that nobody realized this was supposed
to work, which is unsurprising considering that no user-facing docs suggest
it should work.

In principle this could have led to a SIGSEGV due to reading off the end of
memory, but since the source address would have pointed to somewhere in the
function's stack frame, that's quite unlikely.  What led to discovery of
the bug is Hugo Osvaldo Barrera's report of a crash after an OS upgrade,
which is probably because he is now running a system in which memcpy raises
abort() upon detecting overlapping source and destination areas.  (You'd
have to additionally suppose some things about the stack frame layout to
arrive at this conclusion, but it seems plausible.)

This has been broken since the code was added, in commit f3aec2c7f5,
so back-patch to all supported 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/.
