Maintain row-security status properly in cached plans (Stephen Frost)
89+
</para>
90+
91+
<para>
92+
In a session that performs queries as more than one role, the plan
93+
cache might incorrectly re-use a plan that was generated for another
94+
role ID, thus possibly applying the wrong set of policies when
95+
row-level security (RLS) is in use.

Add must-be-superuser checks to some
109+
new <filename>contrib/pageinspect</> functions (Andreas Seltenreich)

</para>
111+
112+
<para>
113+
Most functions in the <filename>pageinspect</> extension that
114+
inspect <type>bytea</> values disallow calls by non-superusers,
115+
but <function>brin_page_type()</> and <function>brin_metapage_info()</>
116+
failed to do so. Passing contrived <type>bytea</> values to them might
117+
crash the server or disclose a few bytes of server memory. Add the
118+
missing permissions checks to prevent misuse.
