There are numerous methods by which a Perl or Tcl function can subvert
the behavior of another such function executed later; for example, by
redefining standard functions or operators called by the target function.
If the target function is SECURITY DEFINER, or is called by such a
function, this means that any ordinary SQL user with Perl or Tcl language
usage rights can do essentially anything with the privileges of the target
function's owner.

To close this security hole, create a separate Perl or Tcl interpreter for
each SQL userid under which plperl or pltcl functions are executed within
a session.  However, all plperlu or pltclu functions run within a session
still share a single interpreter, since they all execute at the trust
level of a database superuser anyway.

Note: this change results in a functionality loss when libperl has been
built without the "multiplicity" option: it's no longer possible to call
plperl functions under different userids in one session, since such a
libperl can't support multiple interpreters in one process.  However, such
a libperl already failed to support concurrent use of plperl and plperlu,
so it's likely that few people use such versions with Postgres.

+ * Information associated with a Perl interpreter.  We have one interpreter
+ * that is used for all plperlu (untrusted) functions.  For plperl (trusted)
+ * functions, there is a separate interpreter for each effective SQL userid.
+ * (This is needed to ensure that an unprivileged user can't inject Perl code
+ * that'll be executed with the privileges of some other SQL user.)
+ *
+ * The plperl_interp_desc structs are kept in a Postgres hash table indexed
+ * by userid OID, with OID 0 used for the single untrusted interpreter.
+ *
+ * We start out by creating a "held" interpreter, which we initialize
+ * only as far as we can do without deciding if it will be trusted or
+ * untrusted.  Later, when we first need to run a plperl or plperlu
+ * function, we complete the initialization appropriately and move the
+ * PerlInterpreter pointer into the plperl_interp_hash hashtable.  If after
+ * that we need more interpreters, we create them as needed if we can, or
+ * fail if the Perl build doesn't support multiple interpreters.
+ *
+ * The reason for all the dancing about with a held interpreter is to make
+ * it possible for people to preload a lot of Perl code at postmaster startup
+ * (using plperl.on_init) and then use that code in backends.  Of course this
+ * will only work for the first interpreter created in any backend, but it's
+ * still useful with that restriction.
