So it looks like this defect exists in core since 140d4ebcb.

IIUC, using the GETSIGN macro with cache[j].sign is a mistake -- it
erroneously adds 8 to an address of the sign field, so for the last j
it leads to an out-of-bounds memory read.

I managed to reduce the reproducer to the following:
CREATE TABLE tst(t tsvector);
INSERT INTO tst SELECT array_to_string(array(SELECT 'a' || x::text FROM generate_series(1, 125) x), ' ')::tsvector FROM

generate_series(1, 3000);
INSERT INTO tst SELECT '' FROM generate_series(1, 100);
CREATE INDEX gistidx ON tst USING gist (t tsvector_ops(siglen=1));

(Sorry for the previous messy script.)

A trivial fix for the issue is attached.

BTW, when looking at the index contents (page 0) using pageinspect, I saw:
  itemoffset |    ctid     | itemlen | dead | keys
------------+-------------+---------+------+-----------------------------------
           1 | (367,65535) |      16 | f    | (a)=("0 true bits, 0 false bits")
           2 | (368,65535) |      16 | f    | (a)=("0 true bits, 0 false bits")
The text describing keys looks confusing, just as if siglen was 0, but it's
not the case.
This is explained by the code:
         int            siglen = GETSIGLEN(key);
         int            cnttrue = (ISALLTRUE(key)) ? SIGLENBIT(siglen) : sizebitvec(GETSIGN(key), siglen);

         sprintf(outbuf, SINGOUTSTR, cnttrue, (int) SIGLENBIT(siglen) - cnttrue);

When ISALLTRUE, the code tries to calculate bit count from siglen, but
siglen is 0 in this case.
So maybe fix it in passing too...

Alexander

I can also propose a regression test addition that demonstrates the valgrind
complaint and also the output of gtsvectorout() for the case ISALLTRUE and
the opposite.

This addition increases the duration of `make check -C contrib/pageinspect`
under valgrind by 7-8 seconds for me:
ok 5         - gist                                     2496 ms
->
ok 5         - gist                                     9890 ms

In absence of any objections or other propositions, I'm inclined to register
this bugfix on the commitfest.

... that seems completely unacceptable cost-wise.  I'd be inclined
to commit the fix without a supporting test case, instead of that.

Given that the misapplication of GETSIGN is causing an incorrect
pointer to be passed to sizebitvec(), how come the error is not
leading to outright wrong answers?  I guess because it's in
picksplit, the worst outcome normally is a poor choice of split,
so maybe exhibiting wrong behavior in a detectable way is hard.

Please do that in any case, so we don't forget about it.

Yes, unfortunately.

I've tried to make that addition as valuable as possible in the context of
this issue, but as it is too expensive (to be honest, I was bolstered by
the gin test duration (~10 secs too)), then let's leave it aside.

(In fact, I stopped my previous research when I had come to the conclusion
that generating data pattern needed to demonstrate wrong answers or at least
an inefficient split require many more data rows than we can afford in a
regression test.)

I have applied 0001 down to 11 to get the basic fix in place, but the
regression tests are really too expensive compared to the value they
bring.

Regarding the changes in gtsvectorout(), the output produced is indeed
confusing when ISALLTRUE is set.

-        int            siglen = GETSIGLEN(key);
-        int            cnttrue = (ISALLTRUE(key)) ? SIGLENBIT(siglen) : sizebitvec(GETSIGN(key), siglen);
+        if (ISALLTRUE(key))
+            sprintf(outbuf, "all true bits");
+        else
+        {
+            int            siglen = GETSIGLEN(key);
+            int            cnttrue = (ISALLTRUE(key)) ? SIGLENBIT(siglen) : sizebitvec(GETSIGN(key), siglen);

-        sprintf(outbuf, SINGOUTSTR, cnttrue, (int) SIGLENBIT(siglen) - cnttrue);
+            sprintf(outbuf, SINGOUTSTR, cnttrue, (int) SIGLENBIT(siglen) - cnttrue);
+        }

In the false branch of ISALLTRUE(key), why isn't cnttrue always
calculated with sizebitvec()?  It's also not something I would
backpatch.  That's confusing, for sure, but there is also the argument
of keeping a consistent output in the stable branches.

Yes, that expression should be simpler there. Please look at the v2 attached.

I agree. Let's not backpatch it.

Applied on HEAD, then.  This item is now completely closed.
