Shared memory is shared memory. Are the pages zeroed out?

This worry relies on a zero day bug/memory exploit in one of the most widely used access methods for Postgres. This worry can be applied to every component of the software stack, including the OS.

  • Hmm, not really. Whether the kernel is managing memory for processes properly is different than asking whether a reused Postgres connection clears all relevant memory.

    But thanks for info about level of issue.
