Hi,


Hi
I would like to inform about the security breach in your design of COPY TO/FROM.

You use FORMAT option to add new formats, filling it with routine name
in shared library. As result any caller can call any routine in PostgreSQL kernel.
I think, it will start competition, who can find most dangerous routine
to call just from COPY FROM command.

Standard PostgreSQL realisation for new methods to use USING keyword. Every new method could have own options (FORMAT is option of internal 'copy from/to'
methods), it assumes some SetOptions interface, that defines
an options structure according to the new method requirements.

I agree with the general direction of the extensibility, but it should be secure
and consistent.
