Commit b7b0f3f272 ("Use streaming I/O in sequential scans") routed
sequential scans through read_stream_next_buffer(), bypassing the
RELATION_IS_OTHER_TEMP() check in ReadBufferExtended(). As a result,
a superuser can attempt to read or modify temp tables of other
sessions through the read-stream path. When the query plan uses no index,
SELECT/UPDATE/DELETE/MERGE silently see no rows / report zero affected rows,
and COPY produces an empty output -- because the buffer manager has no
visibility into the owning session's local buffers and silently returns
nothing. Any query plan that uses, for instance, a btree index
still errors out via the existing check in ReadBufferExtended(), which
is reached from hio.c and nbtree respectively, but this is incidental.
Fix by enforcing RELATION_IS_OTHER_TEMP() at the three additional
buffer-manager entry points:
- read_stream_begin_impl() rejects the read at stream setup time,
covering sequential and bitmap scans that go through the
read-stream path.
- ReadBuffer_common() becomes the canonical place for the check,
consolidating the existing one previously kept in
ReadBufferExtended(). All ReadBufferExtended() callers go through
ReadBuffer_common(), so the consolidation is behavior-preserving.
- StartReadBuffersImpl() catches direct callers of StartReadBuffers()
that bypass both of the above. This is currently defense-in-depth,
but documents the contract for future code.
The companion test in src/test/modules/test_misc was added in the
preceding commit; this commit updates the assertions for SELECT,
UPDATE, DELETE, MERGE, and COPY (which previously documented the
bug as silent success) to expect the new error.
