Subject: Convert newlines to spaces in names written in pg_dump comments.
X-Git-Tag: REL9_2_BETA1~376
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=89e0bac86;p=postgresql

Convert newlines to spaces in names written in pg_dump comments.

pg_dump was incautious about sanitizing object names that are emitted
within SQL comments in its output script.  A name containing a newline
would at least render the script syntactically incorrect.  Maliciously
crafted object names could present a SQL injection risk when the script
is reloaded.

Security: CVE-2012-0868
