2018-03-20Doc: typo fix, "PG_" should be "TG_" here.Tom Lane
Too much PG on the brain in commit 769159fd3, evidently. Noted by marcelhuberfoo@gmail.com. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/152154834496.11957.17112112802418832865@wrigleys.postgresql.org
2018-03-19Prevent query-lifespan memory leakage of SP-GiST traversal values.Tom Lane
The original coding of the SP-GiST scan traversalValue feature (commit ccd6eb49a) arranged for traversal values to be stored in the query's main executor context. That's fine if there's only one index scan per query, but if there are many, we have a memory leak as successive scans create new traversal values. Fix it by creating a separate memory context for traversal values, which we can reset during spgrescan(). Back-patch to 9.6 where this code was introduced. In principle, adding the traversalCxt field to SpGistScanOpaqueData creates an ABI break in the back branches. But I (tgl) have little sympathy for extensions including spgist_private.h, so I'm not very worried about that. Alternatively we could stick the new field at the end of the struct in back branches, but that has its own downsides.

2018-03-19Fix some corner-case issues in REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY.Tom Lane
refresh_by_match_merge() has some issues in the way it builds a SQL query to construct the "diff" table: 1. It doesn't require the selected unique index(es) to be indimmediate. 2. It doesn't pay attention to the particular equality semantics enforced by a given index, but just assumes that they must be those of the column datatype's default btree opclass. 3. It doesn't check that the indexes are btrees. 4. It's insufficiently careful to ensure that the parser will pick the intended operator when parsing the query. (This would have been a security bug before CVE-2018-1058.) 5. It's not careful about indexes on system columns. The way to fix #4 is to make use of the existing code in ri_triggers.c for generating an arbitrary binary operator clause. I chose to move that to ruleutils.c, since that seems a more reasonable place to be exporting such functionality from than ri_triggers.c. While #1, #3, and #5 are just latent given existing feature restrictions, and #2 doesn't arise in the core system for lack of alternate opclasses with different equality behaviors, #4 seems like an issue worth back-patching. That's the bulk of the change anyway, so just back-patch the whole thing to 9.4 where this code was introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/13836.1521413227@sss.pgh.pa.us
2018-03-19Fix performance hazard in REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY.Tom Lane
Jeff Janes discovered that commit 7ca25b7de made one of the queries run by REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY perform badly. The root cause is bad cardinality estimation for correlated quals, but a principled solution to that problem is some way off, especially since the planner lacks any statistics about whole-row variables. Moreover, in non-error cases this query produces no rows, meaning it must be run to completion; but use of LIMIT 1 encourages the planner to pick a fast-start, slow-completion plan, exactly not what we want. Remove the LIMIT clause, and instead rely on the count parameter we pass to SPI_execute() to prevent excess work if the query does return some rows. While we've heard no field reports of planner misbehavior with this query, it could be that people are having performance issues that haven't reached the level of pain needed to cause a bug report. In any case, that LIMIT clause can't possibly do anything helpful with any existing version of the planner, and it demonstrably can cause bad choices in some cases, so back-patch to 9.4 where the code was introduced.

2018-03-19Fix state reversal after partition tuple routingAlvaro Herrera
We make some changes to ModifyTableState and the EState it uses whenever we route tuples to partitions; but we weren't restoring properly in all cases, possibly causing crashes when partitions with different tuple descriptors are targeted by tuples inserted in the same command. Refactor some code, creating ExecPrepareTupleRouting, to encapsulate the needed state changing logic, and have it invoked one level above its current place (ie. put it in ExecModifyTable instead of ExecInsert); this makes it all more readable. Add a test case to exercise this. We don't support having views as partitions; and since only views can have INSTEAD OF triggers, there is no point in testing for INSTEAD OF when processing insertions into a partitioned table. Remove code that appears to support this (but which is actually never relevant.) In passing, fix location of some very confusing comments in ModifyTableState.

2018-03-18Doc: note that statement-level view triggers require an INSTEAD OF trigger.Tom Lane
If a view lacks an INSTEAD OF trigger, DML on it can only work by rewriting the command into a command on the underlying base table(s). Then we will fire triggers attached to those table(s), not those for the view. This seems appropriate from a consistency standpoint, but nowhere was the behavior explicitly documented, so let's do that. There was some discussion of throwing an error or warning if a statement trigger is created on a view without creating a row INSTEAD OF trigger. But a simple implementation of that would result in dump/restore ordering hazards. Given that it's been like this all along, and we hadn't heard a complaint till now, a documentation improvement seems sufficient. Per bug #15106 from Pu Qun. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2018-03-17Fix overflow handling in plpgsql's integer FOR loops.Tom Lane
The test to exit the loop if the integer control value would overflow an int32 turns out not to work on some ICC versions, as it's dependent on the assumption that the compiler will execute the code as written rather than "optimize" it. ICC lacks any equivalent of gcc's -fwrapv switch, so it was optimizing on the assumption of no integer overflow, and that breaks this. Rewrite into a form that in fact does not do any overflowing computations. Per Tomas Vondra and buildfarm member fulmar.

2018-03-17Fix WHERE CURRENT OF when the referenced cursor uses an index-only scan.Tom Lane
"UPDATE/DELETE WHERE CURRENT OF cursor_name" failed, with an error message like "cannot extract system attribute from virtual tuple", if the cursor was using a index-only scan for the target table. Fix it by digging the current TID out of the indexscan state. It seems likely that the same failure could occur for CustomScan plans and perhaps some FDW plan types, so that leaving this to be treated as an internal error with an obscure message isn't as good an idea as it first seemed. Hence, add a bit of heaptuple.c infrastructure to let us deliver a more on-topic message. I chose to make the message match what you get for the case where execCurrentOf can't identify the target scan node at all, "cursor "foo" is not a simply updatable scan of table "bar"". Perhaps it should be different, but we can always adjust that later. In the future, it might be nice to provide hooks that would let custom scan providers and/or FDWs deal with this in other ways; but that's not a suitable topic for a back-patchable bug fix. It's been like this all along, so back-patch to all supported branches. Yugo Nagata and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20180201013349.937dfc5f.nagata@sraoss.co.jp
2018-03-16Fix query-lifespan memory leakage in repeatedly executed hash joins.Tom Lane
ExecHashTableCreate allocated some memory that wasn't freed by ExecHashTableDestroy, specifically the per-hash-key function information. That's not a huge amount of data, but if one runs a query that repeats a hash join enough times, it builds up. Fix by arranging for the data in question to be kept in the hashtable's hashCxt instead of leaving it "loose" in the query-lifespan executor context. (This ensures that we'll also clean up anything that the hash functions allocate in fn_mcxt.) Per report from Amit Khandekar. It's been like this forever, so back-patch to all supported branches.

2018-03-15Clean up duplicate table and function names in regression tests.Tom Lane
Many of the objects we create during the regression tests are put in the public schema, so that using the same names in different regression tests creates a hazard of test failures if any two such scripts run concurrently. This patch cleans up a bunch of latent hazards of that sort, as well as two live hazards. The current situation in this regard is far worse than it was a year or two back, because practically all of the partitioning-related test cases have reused table names with enthusiasm. I despaired of cleaning up that mess within the five most-affected tests (create_table, alter_table, insert, update, inherit); fortunately those don't run concurrently. Other than partitioning problems, most of the issues boil down to using names like "foo", "bar", "tmp", etc, without thought for the fact that other test scripts might use similar names concurrently. I've made an effort to make all such names more specific. One of the live hazards was that commit 7421f4b8 caused with.sql to create a table named "test", conflicting with a similarly-named table in alter_table.sql; this was exposed in the buildfarm recently. The other one was that join.sql and transactions.sql both create tables named "foo" and "bar"; but join.sql's uses of those names date back only to December or so. Since commit 7421f4b8 was back-patched to v10, back-patch a minimal fix for that problem. The rest of this is just future-proofing. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/4627.1521070268@sss.pgh.pa.us

2018-03-15Clean up duplicate role and schema names in regression tests.Tom Lane
Since these names are global, using the same ones in different regression tests creates a hazard of test failures if any two such scripts run concurrently. Let's establish a policy of not doing that. In the cases where a conflict existed, I chose to rename both sides: in principle one script or the other could've been left in possession of the common name, but that seems to just invite more trouble of the same sort. There are a number of places where scripts are using names that seem unduly generic, but in the absence of actual conflicts I left them alone. In addition, fix insert.sql's use of "someone_else" as a role name. That's a flat out violation of longstanding project policy, so back-patch that change to v10 where the usage appeared. The rest of this is just future-proofing, as no two of these scripts are actually run concurrently in the existing parallel_schedule. Conflicts of schema-qualified names also exist, but will be dealt with separately. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/4627.1521070268@sss.pgh.pa.us

2018-03-14logical replication: fix OID type mapping mechanismAlvaro Herrera
The logical replication type map seems to have been misused by its only caller -- it would try to use the remote OID as input for local type routines, which unsurprisingly could result in bogus "cache lookup failed for type XYZ" errors, or random other type names being picked up if they happened to use the right OID. Fix that, changing Oid logicalrep_typmap_getid(Oid remoteid) to char *logicalrep_typmap_gettypname(Oid remoteid) which is more useful. If the remote type is not part of the typmap, this simply prints "unrecognized type" instead of choking trying to figure out -- a pointless exercise (because the only input for that comes from replication messages, which are not under the local node's control) and dangerous to boot, when called from within an error context callback. Once that is done, it comes to light that the local OID in the typmap entry was not being used for anything; the type/schema names are what we need, so remove local type OID from that struct. Once you do that, it becomes pointless to attach a callback to regular syscache invalidation. So remove that also.

2018-03-13When updating reltuples after ANALYZE, just extrapolate from our sample.Tom Lane
The existing logic for updating pg_class.reltuples trusted the sampling results only for the pages ANALYZE actually visited, preferring to believe the previous tuple density estimate for all the unvisited pages. While there's some rationale for doing that for VACUUM (first that VACUUM is likely to visit a very nonrandom subset of pages, and second that we know for sure that the unvisited pages did not change), there's no such rationale for ANALYZE: by assumption, it's looked at an unbiased random sample of the table's pages. Furthermore, in a very large table ANALYZE will have examined only a tiny fraction of the table's pages, meaning it cannot slew the overall density estimate very far at all. In a table that is physically growing, this causes reltuples to increase nearly proportionally to the change in relpages, regardless of what is actually happening in the table. This has been observed to cause reltuples to become so much larger than reality that it effectively shuts off autovacuum, whose threshold for doing anything is a fraction of reltuples. (Getting to the point where that would happen seems to require some additional, not well understood, conditions. But it's undeniable that if reltuples is seriously off in a large table, ANALYZE alone will not fix it in any reasonable number of iterations, especially not if the table is continuing to grow.) Hence, restrict the use of vac_estimate_reltuples() to VACUUM alone, and in ANALYZE, just extrapolate from the sample pages on the assumption that they provide an accurate model of the whole table. If, by very bad luck, they don't, at least another ANALYZE will fix it; in the old logic a single bad estimate could cause problems indefinitely. In HEAD, let's remove vac_estimate_reltuples' is_analyze argument altogether; it was never used for anything and now it's totally pointless. But keep it in the back branches, in case any third-party code is calling this function. Per bug #15005. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2018-03-13Avoid holding AutovacuumScheduleLock while rechecking table statistics.Tom Lane
In databases with many tables, re-fetching the statistics takes some time, so that this behavior seriously decreases the available concurrency for multiple autovac workers. There's discussion afoot about more complete fixes, but a simple and back-patchable amelioration is to claim the table and release the lock before rechecking stats. If we find out there's no longer a reason to process the table, re-taking the lock to un-claim the table is cheap enough. (This patch is quite old, but got lost amongst a discussion of more aggressive fixes. It's not clear when or if such a fix will be accepted, but in any case it'd be unlikely to get back-patched. Let's do this now so we have some improvement for the back branches.) In passing, make the normal un-claim step take AutovacuumScheduleLock not AutovacuumLock, since that is what is documented to protect the wi_tableoid field. This wasn't an actual bug in view of the fact that readers of that field hold both locks, but it creates some concurrency penalty against operations that need only AutovacuumLock.

2018-03-11Fix improper uses of canonicalize_qual().Tom Lane
One of the things canonicalize_qual() does is to remove constant-NULL subexpressions of top-level AND/OR clauses. It does that on the assumption that what it's given is a top-level WHERE clause, so that NULL can be treated like FALSE. Although this is documented down inside a subroutine of canonicalize_qual(), it wasn't mentioned in the documentation of that function itself, and some callers hadn't gotten that memo. Notably, commit d007a9505 caused get_relation_constraints() to apply canonicalize_qual() to CHECK constraints. That allowed constraint exclusion to misoptimize situations in which a CHECK constraint had a provably-NULL subclause, as seen in the regression test case added here, in which a child table that should be scanned is not. (Although this thinko is ancient, the test case doesn't fail before 9.2, for reasons I've not bothered to track down in detail. There may be related cases that do fail before that.) More recently, commit f0e44751d added an independent bug by applying canonicalize_qual() to index expressions, which is even sillier since those might not even be boolean. If they are, though, I think this could lead to making incorrect index entries for affected index expressions in v10. I haven't attempted to prove that though. To fix, add an "is_check" parameter to canonicalize_qual() to specify whether it should assume WHERE or CHECK semantics, and make it perform NULL-elimination accordingly. Adjust the callers to apply the right semantics, or remove the call entirely in cases where it's not known that the expression has one or the other semantics. I also removed the call in some cases involving partition expressions, where it should be a no-op because such expressions should be canonical already ... and was a no-op, independently of whether it could in principle have done something, because it was being handed the qual in implicit-AND format which isn't what it expects. In HEAD, add an Assert to catch that type of mistake in future. This represents an API break for external callers of canonicalize_qual(). While that's intentional in HEAD to make such callers think about which case applies to them, it seems like something we probably wouldn't be thanked for in released branches. Hence, in released branches, the extra parameter is added to a new function canonicalize_qual_ext(), and canonicalize_qual() is a wrapper that retains its old behavior.

2018-03-05Clone extended stats in CREATE TABLE (LIKE INCLUDING ALL)Alvaro Herrera
The LIKE INCLUDING ALL clause to CREATE TABLE intuitively indicates cloning of extended statistics on the source table, but it failed to do so. Patch it up so that it does. Also include an INCLUDING STATISTICS option to the LIKE clause, so that the behavior can be requested individually, or excluded individually. While at it, reorder the INCLUDING options, both in code and in docs, in alphabetical order which makes more sense than feature-implementation order that was previously used. Backpatch this to Postgres 10, where extended statistics were introduced, because this is seen as an oversight in a fresh feature which is better to get consistent from the get-go instead of changing only in pg11. In pg11, comments on statistics objects are cloned too. In pg10 they are not, because I (Álvaro) was too coward to change the parse node as required to support it. Also, in pg10 I chose not to renumber the parser symbols for the various INCLUDING options in LIKE, for the same reason. Any corresponding user-visible changes (docs) are backpatched, though.

2018-03-03Fix assorted issues in convert_to_scalar().Tom Lane
If convert_to_scalar is passed a pair of datatypes it can't cope with, its former behavior was just to elog(ERROR). While this is OK so far as the core code is concerned, there's extension code that would like to use scalarltsel/scalargtsel/etc as selectivity estimators for operators that work on non-core datatypes, and this behavior is a show-stopper for that use-case. If we simply allow convert_to_scalar to return FALSE instead of outright failing, then the main logic of scalarltsel/scalargtsel will work fine for any operator that behaves like a scalar inequality comparison. The lack of conversion capability will mean that we can't estimate to better than histogram-bin-width precision, since the code will effectively assume that the comparison constant falls at the middle of its bin. But that's still a lot better than nothing. (Someday we should provide a way for extension code to supply a custom version of convert_to_scalar, but today is not that day.) While poking at this issue, we noted that the existing code for handling type bytea in convert_to_scalar is several bricks shy of a load. It assumes without checking that if the comparison value is type bytea, the bounds values are too; in the worst case this could lead to a crash. It also fails to detoast the input values, so that the comparison result is complete garbage if any input is toasted out-of-line, compressed, or even just short-header. I'm not sure how often such cases actually occur --- the bounds values, at least, are probably safe since they are elements of an array and hence can't be toasted. But that doesn't make this code OK. Back-patch to all supported branches, partly because author requested that, but mostly because of the bytea bugs. The change in API for the exposed routine convert_network_to_scalar() is theoretically a back-patch hazard, but it seems pretty unlikely that any third-party code is calling that function directly.

These errors have been seen in the field in corrupted-data situations. It seems worthwhile to report them with ERRCODE_DATA_CORRUPTED, rather than the generic ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR, for the benefit of log monitoring and tools like amcheck. However, use errmsg_internal so that the text strings still aren't translated; it seems unlikely to be worth translators' time to do so. Back-patch to 9.3, like the predecessor commit d70cf811f that introduced these elog calls originally (replacing Asserts).

2018-03-01Relax overly strict sanity check for upgraded ancient databasesAlvaro Herrera
Commit 4800f16a7ad0 added some sanity checks to ensure we don't accidentally corrupt data, but in one of them we failed to consider the effects of a database upgraded from 9.2 or earlier, where a tuple exclusively locked prior to the upgrade has a slightly different bit pattern. Fix that by using the macro that we fixed in commit 74ebba84aeb6 for similar situations.

2018-03-01Fix IOS planning when only some index columns can return an attribute.Tom Lane
Since 9.5, it's possible that some but not all columns of an index support returning the indexed value for index-only scans. If the same indexed column appears in index columns that behave both ways, check_index_only() supposed that it'd be OK to do an index-only scan testing that column; but that fails if we have to recheck the indexed condition on one of the columns that doesn't support this. In principle we could make this work by remapping the recheck expressions to pull the value from a column that does support returning the indexed value. But such cases are so weird and rare that, at least for now, it doesn't seem worth the trouble. Instead, just teach check_index_only that a value is returnable only if all the index columns containing it are returnable, rather than any of them. Per report from David Pereiro Lagares. Back-patch to 9.5 where the possibility of this situation appeared. Kyotaro Horiguchi Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1516210494.1798.16.camel@nlpgo.com
2018-02-28Rename base64 routines to avoid conflict with Solaris built-in functions.Tom Lane
Solaris 11.4 has built-in functions named b64_encode and b64_decode. Rename ours to something else to avoid the conflict (fortunately, ours are static so the impact is limited). One could wish for less duplication of code in this area, but that would be a larger patch and not very suitable for back-patching. Since this is a portability fix, we want to put it into all supported branches.

2018-02-28Remove restriction on SQL block length in isolationtester scanner.Tom Lane
specscanner.l had a fixed limit of 1024 bytes on the length of individual SQL stanzas in an isolation test script. People are starting to run into that, so fix it by making the buffer resizable. Once we allow this in HEAD, it seems inevitable that somebody will try to back-patch a test that exceeds the old limit, so back-patch this change as a preventive measure.

2018-02-27Fix up ecpg's configuration so it handles "long long int" in MSVC builds.Tom Lane
Although configure-based builds correctly define HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT when appropriate (in both pg_config.h and ecpg_config.h), builds using the MSVC scripts failed to do so. This currently has no impact on the backend, since it uses that symbol nowhere; but it does prevent ecpg from supporting "long long int". Fix that. Also, adjust Solution.pm so that in the constructed ecpg_config.h file, the "#if (_MSC_VER > 1200)" covers only the LONG_LONG_INT-related #defines, not the whole file. AFAICS this was a thinko on somebody's part: ENABLE_THREAD_SAFETY should always be defined in Windows builds, and in branches using USE_INTEGER_DATETIMES, the setting of that shouldn't depend on the compiler version either. If I'm wrong, I imagine the buildfarm will say so. Per bug #15080 from Jonathan Allen; issue diagnosed by Michael Meskes and Andrew Gierth. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2018-02-27Use the correct tuplestore read pointer in a NamedTuplestoreScan.Tom Lane
Tom Kazimiers reported that transition tables don't work correctly when they are scanned by more than one executor node. That's because commit 18ce3a4ab allocated separate read pointers for each executor node, as it must, but failed to make them active at the appropriate times. Repair.

2018-02-27Remove regression tests' CREATE FUNCTION commands for unused C functions.Tom Lane
I removed these functions altogether in HEAD, in commit db3af9feb, and it emerges that that causes trouble for cross-branch upgrade testing. We could put back stub functions but that seems pretty silly. Instead, back-patch a minimal subset of db3af9feb, namely just removing the CREATE FUNCTION commands.

2018-02-27Prevent dangling-pointer access when update trigger returns old tuple.Tom Lane
A before-update row trigger may choose to return the "new" or "old" tuple unmodified. ExecBRUpdateTriggers failed to consider the second possibility, and would proceed to free the "old" tuple even if it was the one returned, leading to subsequent access to already-deallocated memory. In debug builds this reliably leads to an "invalid memory alloc request size" failure; in production builds it might accidentally work, but data corruption is also possible. This is a very old bug. There are probably a couple of reasons it hasn't been noticed up to now. It would be more usual to return NULL if one wanted to suppress the update action; returning "old" is significantly less efficient since the update will occur anyway. Also, none of the standard PLs would ever cause this because they all returned freshly-manufactured tuples even if they were just copying "old". But commit 4b93f5799 changed that for plpgsql, making it possible to see the bug with a plpgsql trigger. Still, this is certainly legal behavior for a trigger function, so it's ExecBRUpdateTriggers's fault not plpgsql's. It seems worth creating a test case that exercises returning "old" directly with a C-language trigger; testing this through plpgsql seems unreliable because its behavior might change again. Report and fix by Rushabh Lathia; regression test case by me. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAGPqQf1P4pjiNPrMof=P_16E-DFjt457j+nH2ex3=nBTew7tXw@mail.gmail.com

2018-02-26Document security implications of search_path and the public schema.Noah Misch
The ability to create like-named objects in different schemas opens up the potential for users to change the behavior of other users' queries, maliciously or accidentally. When you connect to a PostgreSQL server, you should remove from your search_path any schema for which a user other than yourself or superusers holds the CREATE privilege. If you do not, other users holding CREATE privilege can redefine the behavior of your commands, causing them to perform arbitrary SQL statements under your identity. "SET search_path = ..." and "SELECT pg_catalog.set_config(...)" are not vulnerable to such hijacking, so one can use either as the first command of a session. As special exceptions, the following client applications behave as documented regardless of search_path settings and schema privileges: clusterdb createdb createlang createuser dropdb droplang dropuser ecpg (not programs it generates) initdb oid2name pg_archivecleanup pg_basebackup pg_config pg_controldata pg_ctl pg_dump pg_dumpall pg_isready pg_receivewal pg_recvlogical pg_resetwal pg_restore pg_rewind pg_standby pg_test_fsync pg_test_timing pg_upgrade pg_waldump reindexdb vacuumdb vacuumlo. Not included are core client programs that run user-specified SQL commands, namely psql and pgbench. PostgreSQL encourages non-core client applications to do likewise. Document this in the context of libpq connections, psql connections, dblink connections, ECPG connections, extension packaging, and schema usage patterns. The principal defense for applications is "SELECT pg_catalog.set_config('search_path', '', false)", and the principal defense for databases is "REVOKE CREATE ON SCHEMA public FROM PUBLIC". Either one is sufficient to prevent attack. After a REVOKE, consider auditing the public schema for objects named like pg_catalog objects. Authors of SECURITY DEFINER functions use some of the same defenses, and the CREATE FUNCTION reference page already covered them thoroughly. This is a good opportunity to audit SECURITY DEFINER functions for robust security practice. Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported versions). Reviewed by Michael Paquier and Jonathan S. Katz.

2018-02-26Empty search_path in Autovacuum and non-psql/pgbench clients.Noah Misch
This makes the client programs behave as documented regardless of the connect-time search_path and regardless of user-created objects. Today, a malicious user with CREATE permission on a search_path schema can take control of certain of these clients' queries and invoke arbitrary SQL functions under the client identity, often a superuser. This is exploitable in the default configuration, where all users have CREATE privilege on schema "public". This changes behavior of user-defined code stored in the database, like pg_index.indexprs and pg_extension_config_dump(). If they reach code bearing unqualified names, "does not exist" or "no schema has been selected to create in" errors might appear. Users may fix such errors by schema-qualifying affected names. After upgrading, consider watching server logs for these errors. The --table arguments of src/bin/scripts clients have been lax; for example, "vacuumdb -Zt pg_am\;CHECKPOINT" performed a checkpoint. That now fails, but for now, "vacuumdb -Zt 'pg_am(amname);CHECKPOINT'" still performs a checkpoint. Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported versions). Reviewed by Tom Lane, though this fix strategy was not his first choice. Reported by Arseniy Sharoglazov. Security: CVE-2018-1058
2018-02-26Avoid using unsafe search_path settings during dump and restore.Tom Lane
Historically, pg_dump has "set search_path = foo, pg_catalog" when dumping an object in schema "foo", and has also caused that setting to be used while restoring the object. This is problematic because functions and operators in schema "foo" could capture references meant to refer to pg_catalog entries, both in the queries issued by pg_dump and those issued during the subsequent restore run. That could result in dump/restore misbehavior, or in privilege escalation if a nefarious user installs trojan-horse functions or operators. This patch changes pg_dump so that it does not change the search_path dynamically. The emitted restore script sets the search_path to what was used at dump time, and then leaves it alone thereafter. Created objects are placed in the correct schema, regardless of the active search_path, by dint of schema-qualifying their names in the CREATE commands, as well as in subsequent ALTER and ALTER-like commands. Since this change requires a change in the behavior of pg_restore when processing an archive file made according to this new convention, bump the archive file version number; old versions of pg_restore will therefore refuse to process files made with new versions of pg_dump.
