#5385: Postgres malloc assertion fail when using pg_cancel_backend with ST_AsMVT
-----------------------------+----------------------------
Reporter: gbartonowenstl | Owner: pramsey
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: high | Milestone: PostGIS 3.1.10
Component: postgis | Version: 3.3.x
Resolution: | Keywords: malloc, crash
-----------------------------+----------------------------
Comment (by pramsey):
Wellll, in the short term we should comment out those callbacks, since
crashes are worse than (minimal) missing interruptability. In the medium
term, I am going to try to make an ASAN build of everything and see if I
can induce some kind of out-of-bounds write by wagyu... my working
hypothesis being that it does an out-of-bounds write on every interrupt,
but only a very small fraction of them manage to overwrite something
critical enough to cause a crash.
