    Prevent privilege escalation in explicit calls to PL validators. · 537cbd35
    Noah Misch authored
    The primary role of PL validators is to be called implicitly during
    CREATE FUNCTION, but they are also normal functions that a user can call
    explicitly.  Add a permissions check to each validator to ensure that a
    user cannot use explicit validator calls to achieve things he could not
    otherwise achieve.  Back-patch to 8.4 (all supported versions).
    Non-core procedural language extensions ought to make the same two-line
    change to their own validators.
