   This release contains a variety of fixes from 15.5.
   For information about new features in major release 15, see
   <a class="xref" href="release-15.html" title="E.8. Release 15">Section E.8</a>.

    A dump/restore is not required for those running 15.X.
   </p><p>
    However, one bug was fixed that could have resulted in corruption of
    GIN indexes during concurrent updates.  If you suspect such
    corruption, reindex affected indexes after installing this update.
   </p><p>
    Also, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 15.5,
    see <a class="xref" href="release-15-5.html" title="E.3. Release 15.5">Section E.3</a>.

      Tighten security restrictions within <code class="command">REFRESH MATERIALIZED
      VIEW CONCURRENTLY</code> (Heikki Linnakangas)
     </p><p>
      One step of a concurrent refresh command was run under weak security
      restrictions.  If a materialized view's owner could persuade a
      superuser or other high-privileged user to perform a concurrent
      refresh on that view, the view's owner could control code executed
      with the privileges of the user running <code class="command">REFRESH</code>.
      Fix things so that all user-determined code is run as the view's
      owner, as expected.
     </p><p>
      The only known exploit for this error does not work
      in <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> 16.0 and later, so it may
      be that v16 is not vulnerable in practice.
     </p><p>
      The <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> Project thanks Pedro
      Gallegos for reporting this problem.

      Fix memory leak when performing JIT inlining (Andres Freund,
      Daniel Gustafsson)
     </p><p>
      There have been multiple reports of backend processes suffering
      out-of-memory conditions after sufficiently many JIT compilations.
      This fix should resolve that.

      When dequeueing from an LWLock, avoid needing to search the list of
      waiting processes (Andres Freund)
     </p><p>
      This fixes O(N^2) behavior when the list of waiters is long.  In
      some use-cases this results in substantial throughput improvements.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Avoid generating incorrect partitioned-join plans (Richard Guo)
     </p><p>
      Some uncommon situations involving lateral references could create
      incorrect plans.  Affected queries could produce wrong answers, or
      odd failures such as <span class="quote"><span class="quote">variable not found in subplan target
      list</span></span>, or executor crashes.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix incorrect wrapping of subquery output expressions in
      PlaceHolderVars (Tom Lane)
     </p><p>
      This fixes incorrect results when a subquery is underneath an outer
      join and has an output column that laterally references something
      outside the outer join's scope.  The output column might not appear
      as NULL when it should do so due to the action of the outer join.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix misprocessing of window function run conditions (Richard Guo)

      Skip inappropriate actions when <code class="command">MERGE</code> causes a
      cross-partition update (Dean Rasheed)
     </p><p>
      When executing a <code class="literal">MERGE UPDATE</code> action on a
      partitioned table, if the <code class="literal">UPDATE</code> is turned into
      a <code class="literal">DELETE</code> and <code class="literal">INSERT</code> due to
      changing a partition key column, skip firing <code class="literal">AFTER
      UPDATE ROW</code> triggers, as well as other post-update actions
      such as RLS checks.  These actions would typically fail, which is
      why a regular <code class="literal">UPDATE</code> doesn't do them in such
      cases; <code class="literal">MERGE</code> shouldn't either.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Cope with <code class="literal">BEFORE ROW DELETE</code> triggers in
      cross-partition <code class="command">MERGE</code> updates (Dean Rasheed)
     </p><p>
      If such a trigger attempted to prevent the update by returning
      NULL, <code class="command">MERGE</code> would suffer an error or assertion
      failure.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Prevent access to a no-longer-pinned buffer in <code class="literal">BEFORE ROW
      UPDATE</code> triggers (Alexander Lakhin, Tom Lane)
     </p><p>
      If the tuple being updated had just been updated and moved to
      another page by another session, there was a narrow window where
      we would attempt to fetch data from the new tuple version without
      any pin on its buffer.  In principle this could result in garbage
      data appearing in non-updated columns of the proposed new tuple.
      The odds of problems in practice seem rather low, however.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Avoid requesting an oversize shared-memory area in parallel hash
      join (Thomas Munro, Andrei Lepikhov, Alexander Korotkov)
     </p><p>
      The limiting value was too large, allowing <span class="quote"><span class="quote">invalid DSA memory
      alloc request size</span></span> errors to occur with sufficiently large
      expected hash table sizes.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Avoid assertion failures in <code class="function">heap_update()</code>
      and <code class="function">heap_delete()</code> when a tuple to be updated by
      a foreign-key enforcement trigger fails the extra visibility
      crosscheck (Alexander Lakhin)
     </p><p>
      This error had no impact in non-assert builds.

      Fix overly tight assertion
      about <code class="varname">false_positive_rate</code> parameter of

      Fix possible failure during <code class="command">ALTER TABLE ADD

      Properly lock the associated table during <code class="command">DROP

     </p><p>
      Failure to acquire the lock could result in <span class="quote"><span class="quote">tuple

      executes concurrently with <code class="command">ANALYZE</code>.

      Fix function volatility checking for <code class="literal">GENERATED</code>
      and <code class="literal">DEFAULT</code> expressions (Tom Lane)
     </p><p>
      These places could fail to detect insertion of a volatile function
      default-argument expression, or decide that a polymorphic function
      is volatile although it is actually immutable on the datatype of
      interest.  This could lead to improperly rejecting or accepting
      a <code class="literal">GENERATED</code> clause, or to mistakenly applying the
      constant-default-value optimization in <code class="command">ALTER TABLE ADD
      COLUMN</code>.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Detect that a new catalog cache entry became stale while detoasting
      its fields (Tom Lane)
     </p><p>
      We expand any out-of-line fields in a catalog tuple before inserting
      it into the catalog caches.  That involves database access which
      might cause invalidation of catalog cache entries — but the
      new entry isn't in the cache yet, so we would miss noticing that it
      should get invalidated.  The result is a race condition in which an
      already-stale cache entry could get made, and then persist
      indefinitely.  This would lead to hard-to-predict misbehavior.
      Fix by rechecking the tuple's visibility after detoasting.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix edge-case integer overflow detection bug on some platforms (Dean
      Rasheed)
     </p><p>
      Computing <code class="literal">0 - INT64_MIN</code> should result in an
      overflow error, and did on most platforms.  However, platforms with
      neither integer overflow builtins nor 128-bit integers would fail to
      spot the overflow, instead returning <code class="literal">INT64_MIN</code>.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Detect Julian-date overflow when adding or subtracting
      an <code class="type">interval</code> to/from a <code class="type">timestamp</code> (Tom Lane)
     </p><p>
      Some cases that should cause an out-of-range error produced an
      incorrect result instead.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Add more checks for overflow in <code class="function">interval_mul()</code>
      and <code class="function">interval_div()</code> (Dean Rasheed)
     </p><p>
      Some cases that should cause an out-of-range error produced an

      Ensure cached statistics are discarded after a change
      to <code class="varname">stats_fetch_consistency</code> (Shinya Kato)
     </p><p>
      In some code paths, it was possible for stale statistics to be
      returned.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Make the <code class="structname">pg_file_settings</code> view check
      validity of unapplied values for settings
      with <code class="literal">backend</code>
      or <code class="literal">superuser-backend</code> context (Tom Lane)
     </p><p>
      Invalid values were not noted in the view as intended.  This escaped
      detection because there are very few settings in these groups.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Match collation too when matching an existing index to a new
      partitioned index (Peter Eisentraut)
     </p><p>
      Previously we could accept an index that has a different collation
      from the corresponding element of the partition key, possibly
      leading to misbehavior.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Avoid failure if a child index is dropped concurrently

      Fix insufficient locking when cleaning up an incomplete split of
      a GIN index's internal page (Fei Changhong, Heikki Linnakangas)
     </p><p>
      The code tried to do this with shared rather than exclusive lock on
      the buffer.  This could lead to index corruption if two processes
      attempted the cleanup concurrently.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Avoid premature release of buffer pin in GIN index insertion
      (Tom Lane)
     </p><p>
      If an index root page split occurs concurrently with our own

      by resource owner</span></span>.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Avoid failure with partitioned SP-GiST indexes (Tom Lane)

      Fix ownership change reporting for large objects (Tom Lane)
     </p><p>
      A no-op <code class="command">ALTER LARGE OBJECT OWNER</code> command (that
      is, one selecting the existing owner) passed the wrong class ID to
      the <code class="varname">PostAlterHook</code>, probably confusing any

      The numbers labeled as <span class="quote"><span class="quote">shared/local</span></span> actually refer

      If an operating system crash occurred during or shortly
      after <code class="command">CREATE DATABASE</code>, recovery could fail, or
      subsequent connections to the new database could fail.  If a base
      backup was taken in that window, similar problems could be observed
      when trying to use the backup.  The symptom would be that the
      database directory, <code class="filename">PG_VERSION</code> file, or
      <code class="filename">pg_filenode.map</code> file was missing or empty.

     </p><p>
      The <code class="structfield">startedInRecovery</code> flag was not
      correctly set for a subtransaction.  This affects only processing of
      dead index tuples.  It could allow a query in a subtransaction to
      ignore index entries that it should return (if they are already dead
      on the primary server, but not dead to the standby transaction), or
      to prematurely mark index entries as dead that are not yet dead on
      the primary.  It is not clear that the latter case has any serious
      consequences, but it's not the intended behavior.

      Ensure that column default values are correctly transmitted by

      (Nikhil Benesch)
     </p><p>
      <code class="command">ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN</code> with a constant default
      value for the new column avoids rewriting existing tuples, instead
      expecting that reading code will insert the correct default into a
      tuple that lacks that column.  If replication was subsequently
      initiated on the table, <span class="application">pgoutput</span> would
      transmit NULL instead of the correct default for such a column,

      Prevent examining system catalogs with the wrong snapshot during
      logical decoding (Fei Changhong)
     </p><p>
      If decoding begins partway through a transaction that modifies
      system catalogs, the decoder may not recognize that, causing it to
      fail to treat that transaction as in-progress for catalog lookups.
      This fix deals with the case that a top-level transaction is already
      marked as containing catalog changes, but its subtransaction(s) are
      not.

      In some cases we'd treat this as a loggable error, which was not the

      The pipeline state could get out of sync if an error is returned
