From f4aa3a18a20d51575562520754aa376b3b08b2d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] Force certain "pljava" custom GUCs to be PGC_SUSET.

Future PL/Java versions will close CVE-2016-0766 by making these GUCs
PGC_SUSET.  This PostgreSQL change independently mitigates that PL/Java
vulnerability, helping sites that update PostgreSQL more frequently than
PL/Java.  Back-patch to 9.1 (all supported versions).

Upstream-Status: Backport
