Description
We are dealing with a critical crash bug in Babelfish's EPQ (EvalPlanQual) handling during concurrent UPDATE operations with OUTPUT clauses. The crash occurs when two sessions simultaneously modify the same row, where the column is of type "varchar" causing tuple alignment problems during EPQ re-evaluation. This is a memory corruption issue where PostgreSQL's EPQ mechanism fails to properly handle tuple structure changes when Babelfish processes OUTPUT clauses, leading to segmentation faults or assertion failures.
