This oversight led to a massive memory leak --- upwards of 10KB per tuple
--- during creation-time verification of an exclusion constraint based on a
GIST index. In most other scenarios it'd just be a leak of 10KB that would
be recovered at end of query, so not too significant; though perhaps the
leak would be noticeable in a situation where a GIST index was being used
in a nestloop inner indexscan. In any case, it's a real leak of long
standing, so patch all supported branches. Per report from Harald Fuchs.

Trailing-zero stripping applied by the FM specifier could strip zeroes
to the left of the decimal point, for a format with no digit positions
after the decimal point (such as "FM999.").
Reported and diagnosed by Marti Raudsepp, though I didn't use his patch.

The code in shift_jis_20042euc_jis_2004() would fetch two bytes even when
only one remained in the string. Since conversion functions aren't
supposed to assume null-terminated input, this poses a small risk of
fetching past the end of memory and incurring SIGSEGV. No such crash has
been identified in the field, but we've certainly seen the equivalent
happen in other code paths, so patch this one all the way back.

Since the last couple of columns of pg_type are often NULL,
sizeof(FormData_pg_type) can be an overestimate of the actual size of the
tuple data part. Therefore memcpy'ing that much out of the catalog cache,
as analyze.c was doing, poses a small risk of copying past the end of
memory and incurring SIGSEGV. No such crash has been identified in the
field, but we've certainly seen the equivalent happen in other code paths,
so patch this one all the way back.
Per valgrind testing by Noah Misch, though this is not his proposed patch.
I chose to use SearchSysCacheCopy1 rather than inventing special-purpose
infrastructure for copying only the minimal part of a pg_type tuple.

This example wasn't updated when we changed the behavior of bpcharlen()
in 8.0, nor when we changed the number of parameters taken by the bpchar()
cast function in 7.3. Per report from lsliang.

">" should be ">>". This typo results in failure to use all of the bits
of the provided seed.
This might rise to the level of a security bug if we were relying on
srand48 for any security-critical purposes, but we are not --- in fact,
it's not used at all unless the platform lacks srandom(), which is
improbable. Even on such a platform the exposure seems minimal.

ifdef block. It has nothing to do with whether the replacement snprintf
function is used. It caused no live bug, because the replacement snprintf
function is always used on Win32, but it was nevertheless misplaced.

The version of this macro used in autoconf 2.59 is capable of incorrectly
succeeding (ie, reporting that a library function is available when it
isn't), if the compiler performs link-time optimization and decides that
it can optimize the function reference away entirely. Replace it with the
coding used in autoconf 2.61 and later, which forces the program result to
depend on the function's result so that it cannot be optimized away. This
should fix build failures currently being seen on buildfarm member anchovy.
This patch affects the 8.2 and 8.3 branches only, since later branches are
using autoconf versions that don't have this problem.

These days, such a response is far more likely to signify a server-side
problem, such as fork failure. Reporting "server does not support SSL"
(in sslmode=require) could be quite misleading. But the results could
be even worse in sslmode=prefer: if the problem was transient and the
next connection attempt succeeds, we'll have silently fallen back to
protocol version 2.0, possibly disabling features the user needs.
Hence, it seems best to just eliminate the assumption that backing off
to non-SSL/2.0 protocol is the way to recover from an "E" response, and
instead treat the server error the same as we would in non-SSL cases.
I tested this change against a pre-7.0 server, and found that there
was a second logic bug in the "prefer" path: the test to decide whether
to make a fallback connection attempt assumed that we must have opened
conn->ssl, which in fact does not happen given an "E" response. After
fixing that, the code does indeed connect successfully to pre-7.0,
as long as you didn't set sslmode=require. (If you did, you get
"Unsupported frontend protocol", which isn't completely off base
given the server certainly doesn't support SSL.)
Since there seems no reason to believe that pre-7.0 servers exist anymore
in the wild, back-patch to all supported branches.

There are assorted situations wherein PQconnectPoll() will abandon a
connection attempt and try again with different parameters (eg, SSL versus
not SSL). However, the code forgot to discard any pending data in libpq's
I/O buffers when doing this. In at least one case (server returns E
message during SSL negotiation), there is unread input data which bollixes
the next connection attempt. I have not checked to see whether this is
possible in the other cases where we close the socket and retry, but it
seems like a matter of good defensive programming to add explicit
buffer-flushing code to all of them.
This is one of several issues exposed by Daniel Farina's report of
misbehavior after a server-side fork failure.
This has been wrong since forever, so back-patch to all supported branches.

tsvector_concat() allocated its result workspace using the "conservative"
estimate of the sum of the two input tsvectors' sizes. Unfortunately that
wasn't so conservative as all that, because it supposed that the number of
pad bytes required could not grow. Which it can, as per test case from
Jesper Krogh, if there's a mix of lexemes with positions and lexemes
without them in the input data. The fix is to assume that we might add
a not-previously-present pad byte for each and every lexeme in the two
inputs; which really is conservative, but it doesn't seem worthwhile to
try to be more precise.
This is an aboriginal bug in tsvector_concat, so back-patch to all
versions containing it.

For an empty index, the pgstatindex() function would compute 0.0/0.0 for
its avg_leaf_density and leaf_fragmentation outputs. On machines that
follow the IEEE float arithmetic standard with any care, that results in
a NaN. However, per report from Rushabh Lathia, Microsoft couldn't
manage to get this right, so you'd get a bizarre error on Windows.
Fix by forcing the results to be NaN explicitly, rather than relying on
the division operator to give that or the snprintf function to print it
correctly. I have some doubts that this is really the most useful
definition, but it seems better to remain backward-compatible with
those platforms for which the behavior wasn't completely broken.
Back-patch to 8.2, since the code is like that in all current releases.

As pointed out by Sergey Koposov, repeated invocations of tbm_lossify can
make building a large tidbitmap into an O(N^2) operation. To fix, make
sure we remove more than the minimum amount of information per call, and
add a fallback path to behave sanely if we're unable to fit the bitmap
within the requested amount of memory.
This has been wrong since the tidbitmap code was written, so back-patch
to all supported branches.

The previous code tried to synchronize by unlinking the init file twice,
but that doesn't actually work: it leaves a window wherein a third process
could read the already-stale init file but miss the SI messages that would
tell it the data is stale. The result would be bizarre failures in catalog
accesses, typically "could not read block 0 in file ..." later during
startup.
Instead, hold RelCacheInitLock across both the unlink and the sending of
the SI messages. This is more straightforward, and might even be a bit
faster since only one unlink call is needed.
This has been wrong since it was put in (in 2002!), so back-patch to all
supported releases.

This fixes bug #6139 reported by Hitoshi Harada.

pg_backup_db.c contained a mini SQL lexer with which it tried to identify
boundaries between SQL commands, but that code was not designed to cope
with standard_conforming_strings, and would get the wrong answer if a
backslash immediately precedes a closing single quote in such a string,
as per report from Julian Mehnle. The bug only affects direct-to-database
restores from archive files made with standard_conforming_strings = on.
Rather than complicating the code some more to try to fix that, let's just
rip it all out. The only reason it was needed was to cope with COPY data
embedded into ordinary archive entries, which was a layout that was used
only for about the first three weeks of the archive format's existence,
and never in any production release of pg_dump. Instead, just rely on the
archive file layout to tell us whether we're printing COPY data or not.
This bug represents a data corruption hazard in all releases in which
standard_conforming_strings can be turned on, ie 8.2 and later, so
back-patch to all supported branches.

On balance, the need to cover this case changes my mind in favor of pushing
all error-message generation duties into the two fe-secure.c routines.
So do it that way.
|
|
In many cases, pqsecure_read/pqsecure_write set up useful error messages,
which were then overwritten with useless ones by their callers. Fix this
by defining the responsibility to set an error message to be entirely that
of the lower-level function when using SSL.
Back-patch to 8.3; the code is too different in 8.2 to be worth the
trouble.

This disables an entirely unnecessary "sanity check" that causes failures
in nonblocking mode, because OpenSSL complains if we move or compact the
write buffer. The only actual requirement is that we not modify pending
data once we've attempted to send it, which we don't. Per testing and
research by Martin Pihlak, though this fix is a lot simpler than his patch.
I put the same change into the backend, although it's less clear whether
it's necessary there. We do use nonblock mode in some situations in
streaming replication, so seems best to keep the same behavior in the
backend as in libpq.
Back-patch to all supported releases.

This fixes SSPI login failures showing "The function

First, when following a right-link, we incorrectly marked the current page
as the parent of the right sibling. In reality, the parent of the right page
is the same as the parent of the current page (or some page to the right of
it, gistFindCorrectParent() will sort that out).
Secondly, when we follow a right-link, we must prepend, not append, the right
page to our list of pages to visit. That's because we assume that once we
hit a leaf page in the list, all the rest are leaf pages too, and give up.
To hit these bugs, you need concurrent actions and several unlucky accidents.
Another backend must split the root page, while you're in process of
splitting a lower-level page. Furthermore, while you scan the internal nodes
to re-find the parent, another backend needs to again split some more internal
pages. Even then, the bugs don't necessarily manifest as user-visible errors
or index corruption.
While we're at it, make the error reporting a bit better if gistFindPath()
fails to re-find the parent. It used to be an assertion, but an elog() seems
more appropriate.
Backpatch to all supported branches.

handleCopyIn incremented pset.lineno for each line of COPY data read from
a file. This is correct when reading from the current script file (i.e.,
we are doing COPY FROM STDIN followed by in-line data), but it's wrong if
the data is coming from some other file. Per bug #6083 from Steve Haslam.

Since commit a4d03bbcdaf7739d7e9073ee76bb186f68ddc163, "make dist" has
built both gzip- and bzip2-compressed tarballs. However, this was
pretty useless, because our tarball build script didn't know about it
and proceeded to overwrite the bz2 file with new data. Back-patch the
change to all active branches, so that creation of the tar.bz2 file
can be removed from the build script.

A password containing a character with the high bit set was misprocessed
on machines where char is signed (which is most). This could cause the
preceding one to three characters to fail to affect the hashed result,
thus weakening the password. The result was also unportable, and failed
to match some other blowfish implementations such as OpenBSD's.
Since the fix changes the output for such passwords, upstream chose
to provide a compatibility hack: password salts beginning with $2x$
(instead of the usual $2a$ for blowfish) are intentionally processed
"wrong" to give the same hash as before. Stored password hashes can
thus be modified if necessary to still match, though it'd be better
to change any affected passwords.
In passing, sync a couple other upstream changes that marginally improve
performance and/or tighten error checking.
Back-patch to all supported branches. Since this issue is already
public, no reason not to commit the fix ASAP.

This is a dangerous example to provide because on machines with GNU cp,
it will silently do the wrong thing and risk archive corruption. Worse,
during the 9.0 cycle somebody "improved" the discussion by removing the
warning that used to be there about that, and instead leaving the
impression that the command would work as desired on most Unixen.
It doesn't. Try to rectify the damage by providing an example that is safe
most everywhere, and then noting that you can try cp -i if you want but
you'd better test that.
In back-patching this to all supported branches, I also added an example
command for Windows, which wasn't provided before 9.0.

For some reason, when we (I) added table lock acquisition to pg_dump,
we didn't think about making it happen as soon as possible after the
start of the transaction. What with subsequent additions, there was
actually quite a lot going on before we got around to that; which sort
of defeats the purpose. Rearrange the order of calls in dumpSchema()
to close the risk window as much as we easily can. Back-patch to all
supported branches.

The previous code went into an infinite loop after overflow. In fact,
an overflow is not really an error; it just means that the current
value is the last one we need to return. So, just arrange to stop
immediately when overflow is detected.
Back-patch all the way.

We previously found out that OS X's standard perl installation tries to put
-arch switches into Perl link commands, evidently in hopes of building
universal binaries. But it doesn't work to add such switches in plperl's
link step if they weren't being used earlier, so this is basically
unworkable. When using gcc the result is only some warnings; but LLVM
fails entirely, so this issue isn't as cosmetic as we originally thought.
Hence, back-patch commit d69a419e682c2d39c2355105a7e5e2b90357c8f0 into
pre-9.0 branches.

Apparently there is no buildfarm critter exercising this case after all,
because it fails in several places. With this patch, build, install,
check-world, and installcheck-world pass for me on OS X.

ReadRecord's habit of using both direct references to tmpRecPtr and
references to *RecPtr (which is pointing at tmpRecPtr) triggers an
optimization bug in gcc 4.6.0, which apparently has forgotten about
aliasing rules. Avoid the compiler bug, and make the code more readable
to boot, by getting rid of the direct references. Improve the comments
while at it.
Back-patch to all supported versions, in case they get built with 4.6.0.

We were trying to make that strictly an internal implementation detail,
but it turns out that it's exposed anyway when dumping a view defined
like
CREATE VIEW test_view AS VALUES (1), (2), (3) ORDER BY 1;
This comes out as
CREATE VIEW ... ORDER BY "*VALUES*".column1;
which fails to parse when reloading the dump.
Hacking ruleutils.c to suppress the column qualification looks like it'd
be a risky business, so instead promote the RTE alias to full-fledged
usability.
Per bug #6049 from Dylan Adams. Back-patch to all supported branches.

My previous commit disallowed this operation, but did nothing about
cleaning up the damage if one had already been done. With the operation
disallowed, it's okay to just forcibly clear xmax in a sequence's tuple,
since any value seen there could not represent a live transaction's lock.
So, any sequence-specific operation will repair the problem automatically,
whether or not the user has already seen "could not access status of
transaction" failures.
