Fix heap overrun parsing XML namespace declarations - #1606
Conversation
register_ns_from_csting() copied prefix/url tokens into StringInfo buffers with raw memcpy, bypassing the growth path; a token longer than the initial 1024 bytes overran the heap. Use appendBinaryStringInfo so the buffer grows and stays NUL-terminated. Closes IvorySQL#1603

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Add a regression test for namespace tokens larger than 1024 bytes.
If an AddressSanitizer test does not already exist outside this cohort, add one that exercises both long prefixes and long URLs through EXTRACTVALUE or XMLQUERY. Verify successful namespace registration and the absence of heap-buffer-overflow errors.

Summary
Fixes #1603:
register_ns_from_csting()incontrib/ivorysql_ora/src/xml_functions/ora_xml_functions.ccopied namespace prefix/url tokens intoStringInfobuffers with rawmemcpy, bypassing the growth path. A single token longer than the initial 1024-byte buffer (e.g.xmlns:p="<5000-byte-url>"inEXTRACTVALUE/XMLQUERYnamespace arguments) wrote past the heap.Replaced both
memcpy+ manual NUL writes withappendBinaryStringInfo, which grows the buffer as needed and keeps it NUL-terminated. The copied byte counts are unchanged (end - start - 1for the prefix,l1 - 3for the url).Test plan
