Subject: Error in 18.4 release notes
Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 09:15:36 +0000
Message-ID: <177883653690.764749.14038057906859461991@wrigleys.postgresql.org> (raw)

The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/18/release-18-4.html
Description:

The 18.4 release notes say this: "Use timing-safe string comparisons in
authentication code (Michael Paquier) Use timingsafe_bcmp() instead of
memcpy() or strcmp() when checking passwords, ..."

I think that should be memcmp() instead of memcpy().
