2023-11-30Fix BackgroundPsql's set_query_timer_restart() issue without argument.Masahiko Sawada
The set_query_timer_restart() required an argument to define a value to query_timer_restart, but none of the existing callers passes an argument to this function. This changes the function to set a value without an argument. Backpatch through 16 where the background psql TAP functions were refactored by 664d757531e1.

2023-11-28Use BIO_{get,set}_app_data instead of BIO_{get,set}_data.Tom Lane
We should have done it this way all along, but we accidentally got away with using the wrong BIO field up until OpenSSL 3.2. There, the library's BIO routines that we rely on use the "data" field for their own purposes, and our conflicting use causes assorted weird behaviors up to and including core dumps when SSL connections are attempted. Switch to using the approved field for the purpose, i.e. app_data. While at it, remove our configure probes for BIO_get_data as well as the fallback implementation. BIO_{get,set}_app_data have been there since long before any OpenSSL version that we still support, even in the back branches. Also, update src/test/ssl/t/001_ssltests.pl to allow for a minor change in an error message spelling that evidently came in with 3.2. Tristan Partin and Bo Andreson.

scram_SaltedPassword() could take a long time to compute when the number of iterations used is large enough, and this code uses a tight loop to compute a salted password.

2023-11-27Avoid unconditionally filling in missing values with NULL in pgoutput.Amit Kapila
52e4f0cd4 introduced a bug in pgoutput in which missing values in tuples were incorrectly filled in with NULL. The problem was the use of CreateTupleDescCopy where CreateTupleDescCopyConstr was required, as the former drops the constraints in the tuple description (specifically, the default value constraint) on the floor. The bug could result in incorrectness when a table replicated via `REPLICA IDENTITY FULL` underwent a schema change that added a column with a default value. The problem is that in such cases updates fill NULL values in old tuples for missing columns for default values. Then on the subscriber, we failed to find a matching tuple and missed updating the required row.

2023-11-27Fix race condition with BIO methods initialization in libpq with threadsMichael Paquier
The libpq code in charge of creating per-connection SSL objects was prone to a race condition when loading the custom BIO methods needed by my_SSL_set_fd(). As BIO methods are stored as a static variable, the initialization of a connection could fail because it could be possible to have one thread refer to my_bio_methods while it is being manipulated by a second concurrent thread. This error has been introduced by 8bb14cdd33de, that has removed ssl_config_mutex around the call of my_SSL_set_fd(), that itself sets the custom BIO methods used in libpq. Like previously, the BIO method initialization is now protected by the existing ssl_config_mutex, itself initialized earlier for WIN32. While on it, document that my_bio_methods is protected by ssl_config_mutex, as this can be easy to miss.

2023-11-23Fix timing-dependent failure in GSSAPI data transmission.Tom Lane
When using GSSAPI encryption in non-blocking mode, libpq sometimes failed with "GSSAPI caller failed to retransmit all data needing to be retried". The cause is that pqPutMsgEnd rounds its transmit request down to an even multiple of 8K, and sometimes that can lead to not requesting a write of data that was requested to be written (but reported as not written) earlier. That can upset pg_GSS_write's logic for dealing with not-yet-written data, since it's possible the data in question had already been incorporated into an encrypted packet that we weren't able to send during the previous call. We could fix this with a one-or-two-line hack to disable pqPutMsgEnd's round-down behavior, but that seems like making the caller work around a behavior that pg_GSS_write shouldn't expose in this way. Instead, adjust pg_GSS_write to never report a partial write: it either reports a complete write, or reflects the failure of the lower-level pqsecure_raw_write call. The requirement still exists for the caller to present at least as much data as on the previous call, but with the caller-visible write start point not moving there is no temptation for it to present less. We lose some ability to reclaim buffer space early, but I doubt that that will make much difference in practice. This also gets rid of a rather dubious assumption that "any interesting failure condition (from pqsecure_raw_write) will recur on the next try". We've not seen failure reports traceable to that, but I've never trusted it particularly and am glad to remove it. Make the same adjustments to the equivalent backend routine be_gssapi_write(). It is probable that there's no bug on the backend side, since we don't have a notion of nonblock mode there; but we should keep the logic the same to ease future maintenance. Per bug #18210 from Lars Kanis. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18210-4c6d0b14627f2eb8@postgresql.org
2023-11-23Fix resource leak when a FDW's ForeignAsyncRequest function failsHeikki Linnakangas
If an error is thrown after calling CreateWaitEventSet(), the memory of a WaitEventSet is free'd as it's allocated in the short-lived memory context, but the file descriptor (on epoll- or kqueue-based systems) or handles (on Windows) that it contains are leaked. Use PG_TRY-FINALLY to ensure it gets freed. (On master, I will apply a better fix, using ResourceOwners to track the WaitEventSet, but that's not backpatchable.) The added test doesn't check for leaking resources, so it passed even before this commit. But at least it covers the code path. In the passing, fix misleading comment on what the 'nevents' argument to WaitEventSetWait means. Report by Alexander Lakhin, analysis and suggestion for the fix by Tom Lane. Fixes bug #17828.

Commits 146604ec43 and a898b409f6 added overflow checks to interval_mul(), but not to interval_div(), which contains almost identical code, and so is susceptible to the same kinds of overflows. In addition, those checks did not catch all possible overflow conditions. Add additional checks to the "cascade down" code in interval_mul(), and copy all the overflow checks over to the corresponding code in interval_div(), so that they both generate "interval out of range" errors, rather than returning bogus results.

2023-11-17llvmjit: Use explicit LLVMContextRef for inliningDaniel Gustafsson
When performing inlining LLVM unfortunately "leaks" types (the types survive and are usable, but a new round of inlining will recreate new structurally equivalent types). This accumulation will over time amount to a memory leak which for some queries can be large enough to trigger the OOM process killer. To avoid accumulation of types, all IR related data is stored in an LLVMContextRef which is dropped and recreated in order to release all types. Dropping and recreating incurs overhead, so it will be done only after 100 queries. This is a heuristic which might be revisited, but until we can get the size of the context from LLVM we are flying a bit blind. This issue has been reported several times, there may be more references to it in the archives on top of the threads linked below. This is a backpatch of 9dce22033d5 to all supported branches.

2023-11-16Ensure we preprocess expressions before checking their volatility.Tom Lane
contain_mutable_functions and contain_volatile_functions give reliable answers only after expression preprocessing (specifically eval_const_expressions). Some places understand this, but some did not get the memo --- which is not entirely their fault, because the problem is documented only in places far away from those functions. Introduce wrapper functions that allow doing the right thing easily, and add commentary in hopes of preventing future mistakes from copy-and-paste of code that's only conditionally safe. Two actual bugs of this ilk are fixed here. We failed to preprocess column GENERATED expressions before checking mutability, so that the code could fail to detect the use of a volatile function default-argument expression, or it could reject a polymorphic function that is actually immutable on the datatype of interest. Likewise, column DEFAULT expressions weren't preprocessed before determining if it's safe to apply the attmissingval mechanism. A false negative would just result in an unnecessary table rewrite, but a false positive could allow the attmissingval mechanism to be used in a case where it should not be, resulting in unexpected initial values in a new column. In passing, re-order the steps in ComputePartitionAttrs so that its checks for invalid column references are done before applying expression_planner, rather than after. The previous coding would not complain if a partition expression contains a disallowed column reference that gets optimized away by constant folding, which seems to me to be a behavior we do not want.

2023-11-13Don't try to dump RLS policies or security labels for extension objects.Tom Lane
checkExtensionMembership() set the DUMP_COMPONENT_SECLABEL and DUMP_COMPONENT_POLICY flags for extension member objects, even though we lack any infrastructure for tracking extensions' initial settings of these properties. This is not OK. The result was that a dump would always include commands to set these properties for extension objects that have them, with at least three negative consequences: 1. The restoring user might not have privilege to set these properties on these objects. 2. The properties might be incorrect/irrelevant for the version of the extension that's installed in the destination database. 3. The dump itself might fail, in the case of RLS properties attached to extension tables that the dumping user lacks privilege to LOCK. (That's because we must get at least AccessShareLock to ensure that we don't fail while trying to decompile the RLS expressions.) When and if somebody cares to invent initial-state infrastructure for extensions' RLS policies and security labels, we could think about finding another way around problem #3. But in the absence of such infrastructure, this whole thing is just wrong and we shouldn't do it. (Note: this applies only to ordinary dumps; binary-upgrade dumps still dump and restore extension member objects separately, with all properties.) Tom Lane and Jacob Champion.

2023-11-13Don't release index root page pin in ginFindParents().Tom Lane
It's clearly stated in the comments that ginFindParents() must keep the pin on the index's root page that's associated with the topmost GinBtreeStack item. However, the code path for the case that the desired downlink has been pushed down to the next index level ignored this proviso, and would release the pin anyway if we were still examining the root level. That led to an assertion failure or "buffer NNNN is not owned by resource owner" error later, when we try to release the pin again at the end of the insertion. This is quite hard to reproduce, since it can only happen if an index root page split occurs concurrently with our own insertion.

That's what pqPipelineFlush() does, and it is done for every single other message type sent by libpq, so do that.

2023-11-06Detect integer overflow while computing new array dimensions.Tom Lane
array_set_element() and related functions allow an array to be enlarged by assigning to subscripts outside the current array bounds. While these places were careful to check that the new bounds are allowable, they neglected to consider the risk of integer overflow in computing the new bounds. In edge cases, we could compute new bounds that are invalid but get past the subsequent checks, allowing bad things to happen. Memory stomps that are potentially exploitable for arbitrary code execution are possible, and so is disclosure of server memory. To fix, perform the hazardous computations using overflow-detecting arithmetic routines, which fortunately exist in all still-supported branches. The test cases added for this generate (after patching) errors that mention the value of MaxArraySize, which is platform-dependent. Rather than introduce multiple expected-files, use psql's VERBOSITY parameter to suppress the printing of the message text. v11 psql lacks that parameter, so omit the tests in that branch. Our thanks to Pedro Gallegos for reporting this problem. Security: CVE-2023-5869
2023-11-06Compute aggregate argument types correctly in transformAggregateCall().Tom Lane
transformAggregateCall() captures the datatypes of the aggregate's arguments immediately to construct the Aggref.aggargtypes list. This seems reasonable because the arguments have already been transformed --- but there is an edge case where they haven't been. Specifically, if we have an unknown-type literal in an ANY argument position, nothing will have been done with it earlier. But if we also have DISTINCT, then addTargetToGroupList() converts the literal to "text" type, resulting in the aggargtypes list not matching the actual runtime type of the argument. The end result is that the aggregate tries to interpret a "text" value as being of type "unknown", that is a zero-terminated C string. If the text value contains no zero bytes, this could result in disclosure of server memory following the text literal value. To fix, move the collection of the aggargtypes list to the end of transformAggregateCall(), after DISTINCT has been handled. This requires slightly more code, but not a great deal. Our thanks to Jingzhou Fu for reporting this problem. Security: CVE-2023-5868
2023-11-06Set GUC "is_superuser" in all processes that set AuthenticatedUserId.Noah Misch
It was always false in single-user mode, in autovacuum workers, and in background workers. This had no specifically-identified security consequences, but non-core code or future work might make it security-relevant. Back-patch to v11 (all supported versions). Jelte Fennema-Nio. Reported by Jelte Fennema-Nio.
2023-11-06Ban role pg_signal_backend from more superuser backend types.Noah Misch
Documentation says it cannot signal "a backend owned by a superuser". On the contrary, it could signal background workers, including the logical replication launcher. It could signal autovacuum workers and the autovacuum launcher. Block all that. Signaling autovacuum workers and those two launchers doesn't stall progress beyond what one could achieve other ways. If a cluster uses a non-core extension with a background worker that does not auto-restart, this could create a denial of service with respect to that background worker. A background worker with bugs in its code for responding to terminations or cancellations could experience those bugs at a time the pg_signal_backend member chooses. Back-patch to v11 (all supported versions). Reviewed by Jelte Fennema-Nio. Reported by Hemanth Sandrana and Mahendrakar Srinivasarao. Security: CVE-2023-5870
