+
+     <para>
+      In a session that performs queries as more than one role, the plan
+      cache might incorrectly re-use a plan that was generated for another
+      role ID, thus possibly applying the wrong set of policies when
+      row-level security (RLS) is in use.

+      Most functions in the <filename>pageinspect</> extension that

+      failed to do so.  Passing contrived <type>bytea</> values to them might
+      crash the server or disclose a few bytes of server memory.  Add the
+      missing permissions checks to prevent misuse.
