Hello everyone,

I'd like to propose adding check for nullness of
TupleTableSlot before dereferencing it in /src/backend/executor/nodeAgg.c

It is done in the same manner other TupleTableSlots are checked,
but was probably left unseen because slot1 and slot2 variables
can be swapped during function execution.

The patch is attached.

Subject: [PATCH] Check for TupleTableSlot nullness before dereferencing

At the beginning of process_ordered_aggregate_multi()
slot1 is assumed to not be NULL, while slot2 can be NULL.
Later, if (numDistinctCols > 0), slot1 and slot2 are swapped,
and slot1 (with possible contents of slot2) is dereferenced by ExecClearTuple().
Add check for nullness before dereferencing.

Found by ALT Linux Team with Svace.
