Looking at the only place this message is produced, in
src/backend/libpq/hba.c, it appears that we are printing a string buffer
that is not guaranteed null-terminated. The segfault might be due to
that. I would suggest adding more paranoia along these lines:
if (buf >= end_buf)
{
+ *buf = '\0';
ereport(LOG,
(errcode(ERRCODE_CONFIG_FILE_ERROR),
errmsg("authentication file token too long, skipping: \"%s\"",
buf)));
/* Discard remainder of line */
while ((c = getc(fp)) != EOF && c != '\n')
;
- buf[0] = '\0';
break;
}
This won't fix the underlying problem (where is the junk data coming
from?) but it might at least let you get further in your investigation.
