Since the fixes for CVE-2018-1058, we've advised people to schema-qualify
function references in order to fix failures in code that executes under
a minimal search_path setting. However, that's insufficient to make the
single-argument form of unaccent() work, because it looks up the "unaccent"
text search dictionary using the search path.
The most expedient answer seems to be to remove the search_path dependency
by making it look in the same schema that the unaccent() function itself
is declared in. This will definitely work for the normal usage of this
function with the unaccent dictionary provided by the extension.
It's barely possible that there are people who were relying on the
search-path-dependent behavior to select other dictionaries with the same
name; but if there are any such people at all, they can still get that
behavior by writing unaccent('unaccent', ...), or possibly
unaccent('unaccent'::text::regdictionary, ...) if the lookup has to be
postponed to runtime.
Per complaint from Gunnlaugur Thor Briem. Back-patch to all supported
branches.

At the beginning of recovery, information from replication slots is
recovered from disk to memory. In order to ensure the durability of the
information, the status file as well as its parent directory are
synced. It happens that the sync on the parent directory was done
directly using the status file path, which is logically incorrect, and
the current code has been doing a sync on the same object twice in a
row.

There's a project policy against using plain "char buf[BLCKSZ]" local
or static variables as page buffers; preferred style is to palloc or
malloc each buffer to ensure it is MAXALIGN'd. However, that policy's
been ignored in an increasing number of places. We've apparently got
away with it so far, probably because (a) relatively few people use
platforms on which misalignment causes core dumps and/or (b) the
variables chance to be sufficiently aligned anyway. But this is not
something to rely on. Moreover, even if we don't get a core dump,
we might be paying a lot of cycles for misaligned accesses.
To fix, invent new union types PGAlignedBlock and PGAlignedXLogBlock
that the compiler must allocate with sufficient alignment, and use
those in place of plain char arrays.
I used these types even for variables where there's no risk of a
misaligned access, since ensuring proper alignment should make
kernel data transfers faster. I also changed some places where
we had been palloc'ing short-lived buffers, for coding style
uniformity and to save palloc/pfree overhead.
Since this seems to be a live portability hazard (despite the lack
of field reports), back-patch to all supported versions.
Patch by me; thanks to Michael Paquier for review.

Startup process has improved its calculation of incorrect minimum
consistent point in 8d68ee6, which ensures that all WAL available gets
replayed when doing crash recovery, and has introduced an incorrect
calculation of the minimum recovery point for non-startup processes,
which can cause incorrect page references on a standby when for example
the background writer flushed a couple of pages on-disk but was not
updating the control file to let a subsequent crash recovery replay to
where it should have.
The only case where this has been reported to be a problem is when a
standby needs to calculate the latest removed xid when replaying a btree
deletion record, so one would need connections on a standby that happen
just after recovery has thought it reached a consistent point. Using a
background worker which is started after the consistent point is reached
would be the easiest way to get into problems if it connects to a
database. Having clients which attempt to connect periodically could
also be a problem, but the odds of seeing this problem are much lower.
The fix used is pretty simple, as the idea is to give access to the
minimum recovery point written in the control file to non-startup
processes so as they use a reference, while the startup process still
initializes its own references of the minimum consistent point so as the
original problem with incorrect page references happening post-promotion
with a crash do not show up.

In general, Postgres requires -fno-strict-aliasing with compilers that
implement C99 strict aliasing rules. There's little hope of getting
rid of that overall. But it seems like it would be a good idea if
storage/checksum_impl.h in particular didn't depend on it, because
that header is explicitly intended to be included by external programs.
We don't have a lot of control over the compiler switches that an
external program might use, as shown by Michael Banck's report of
failure in a privately-modified version of pg_verify_checksums.
Hence, switch to using a union in place of willy-nilly pointer casting
inside this file. I think this makes the code a bit more readable
anyway.
checksum_impl.h hasn't changed since it was introduced in 9.3,
so back-patch all the way.

regexp_matches, regexp_split_to_table and regexp_split_to_array all
work by compiling a list of match positions as character offsets (NOT
byte positions) in the source string.
Formerly, they then used text_substr to extract the matched text; but
in a multi-byte encoding, that counts the characters in the string,
and the characters needed to reach the starting byte position, on
every call. Accordingly, the performance degraded as the product of
the input string length and the number of match positions, such that
splitting a string of a few hundred kbytes could take many minutes.
Repair by keeping the wide-character copy of the input string
available (only in the case where encoding_max_length is not 1) after
performing the match operation, and extracting substrings from that
instead. This reduces the complexity to being linear in the number of
result bytes, discounting the actual regexp match itself (which is not
affected by this patch).
In passing, remove cleanup using retail pfree() which was obsoleted by
commit ff428cded (Feb 2008) which made cleanup of SRF multi-call
contexts automatic. Also increase (to ~134 million) the maximum number
of matches and provide an error message when it is reached.
Backpatch all the way because this has been wrong forever.

The previous coding figured it'd be good enough to postpone opening
the first CSV log file until we got a message we needed to write there.
This is unsafe, though, because if the open fails we end up in infinite
recursion trying to report the failure. Instead make the CSV log file
management code look as nearly as possible like the longstanding logic
for the stderr log file. In particular, open it immediately at postmaster
startup (if enabled), or when we get a SIGHUP in which we find that
log_destination has been changed to enable CSV logging.
It seems OK to fail if a postmaster-start-time open attempt fails, as
we've long done for the stderr log file. But we can't die if we fail
to open a CSV log file during SIGHUP, so we're still left with a problem.
In that case, write any output meant for the CSV log file to the stderr
log file. (This will also cover race-condition cases in which backends
send CSV log data before or after we have the CSV log file open.)
This patch also fixes an ancient oversight that, if CSV logging was
turned off during a SIGHUP, we never actually closed the last CSV
log file.
In passing, remember to reset whereToSendOutput = DestNone during syslogger
start, since (unlike all other postmaster children) it's forked before the
postmaster has done that. This made for a platform-dependent difference
in error reporting behavior between the syslogger and other children:
except on Windows, it'd report problems to the original postmaster stderr
as well as the normal error log file(s). It's barely possible that that
was intentional at some point; but it doesn't seem likely to be desirable
in production, and the platform dependency definitely isn't desirable.
Per report from Alexander Kukushkin. It's been like this for a long time,
so back-patch to all supported branches.

The lexer's handling of operators contained an O(N^3) hazard when

Backpatch all the way since this has been there since 7.x, and it

Previously, this code blindly followed the common coding pattern of
passing PQserverVersion(AH->connection) as the server-version parameter
of fmtQualifiedId. That works as long as we have a connection; but in
pg_restore with text output, we don't. Instead we got a zero from
PQserverVersion, which fmtQualifiedId interpreted as "server is too old to
have schemas", and so the name went unqualified. That still accidentally
managed to work in many cases, which is probably why this ancient bug went
undetected for so long. It only became obvious in the wake of the changes
to force dump/restore to execute with restricted search_path.
In HEAD/v11, let's deal with this by ripping out fmtQualifiedId's server-
version behavioral dependency, and just making it schema-qualify all the
time. We no longer support pg_dump from servers old enough to need the
ability to omit schema name, let alone restoring to them. (Also, the few
callers outside pg_dump already didn't work with pre-schema servers.)
In older branches, that's not an acceptable solution, so instead just
tweak the DISABLE/ENABLE TRIGGER logic to ensure it will schema-qualify
its output regardless of server version.
Per bug #15338 from Oleg somebody. Back-patch to all supported branches.

When executing a SubPlan in an expression, the EState's direction
field was left alone, resulting in an attempt to execute the subplan
backwards if it was encountered during a backwards scan of a cursor.
Also, though much less likely, it was possible to reach the execution
of an InitPlan while in backwards-scan state.
Repair by saving/restoring estate->es_direction and forcing forward
scan mode in the relevant places.
Backpatch all the way, since this has been broken since 8.3 (prior to
commit c7ff7663e, SubPlans had their own EStates rather than sharing
the parent plan's, so there was no confusion over scan direction).

C99 says that the result should be the number of bytes that would have
been emitted given a large enough buffer, not the number we actually
were able to put in the buffer. It's time to make our substitute
implementation comply with that. Not doing so results in inefficiency
in buffer-enlargement cases, and also poses a portability hazard for
third-party code that might expect C99-compliant snprintf behavior
within Postgres.
In passing, remove useless tests for str == NULL; neither C99 nor
predecessor standards ever allowed that except when count == 0,
so I see no reason to expend cycles on making that a non-crash case
for this implementation. Also, don't waste a byte in pg_vfprintf's
local I/O buffer; this might have performance benefits by allowing
aligned writes during flushbuffer calls.
Back-patch of commit 805889d7d. There was some concern about this
possibly breaking code that assumes pre-C99 behavior, but there is
much more risk (and reality, in our own code) of code that assumes
C99 behavior and hence fails to detect buffer overrun without this.

Fix a small number of places that were testing the result of snprintf()
but doing so incorrectly. The right test for buffer overrun, per C99,
is "result >= bufsize" not "result > bufsize". Some places were also
checking for failure with "result == -1", but the standard only says
that a negative value is delivered on failure.
(Note that this only makes these places correct if snprintf() delivers
C99-compliant results. But at least now these places are consistent
with all the other places where we assume that.)
Also, make psql_start_test() and isolation_start_test() check for
buffer overrun while constructing their shell commands. There seems
like a higher risk of overrun, with more severe consequences, here
than there is for the individual file paths that are made elsewhere
in the same functions, so this seemed like a worthwhile change.
Also fix guc.c's do_serialize() to initialize errno = 0 before
calling vsnprintf. In principle, this should be unnecessary because
vsnprintf should have set errno if it returns a failure indication ...
but the other two places this coding pattern is cribbed from don't
assume that, so let's be consistent.
These errors are all very old, so back-patch as appropriate. I think
that only the shell command overrun cases are even theoretically
reachable in practice, but there's not much point in erroneous error
checks.

exit() is not async-signal safe. Even if the libc implementation is, 3rd
party libraries might have installed unsafe atexit() callbacks. After
receiving SIGQUIT, we really just want to exit as quickly as possible, so
we don't really want to run the atexit() callbacks anyway.
The original report by Jimmy Yih was a self-deadlock in startup_die().
However, this patch doesn't address that scenario; the signal handling
while waiting for the startup packet is more complicated. But at least this
alleviates similar problems in the SIGQUIT handlers, like that reported
by Asim R P later in the same thread.

CreateUserMapping has a recordDependencyOnCurrentExtension call that's
been there since extensions were introduced (very possibly my fault).
However, there's no support anywhere else for user mappings as members
of extensions, nor are they listed as a possible member object type in
the documentation. Nor does it really seem like a good idea for user
mappings to belong to extensions when roles don't. Hence, remove the
bogus call.
(As we saw in bug #15310, the lack of any pg_dump support for this case
ensures that any such membership record would silently disappear during
pg_upgrade. So there's probably no need for us to do anything else
about cleaning up after this mistake.)

Since commit c8e8b5a6e, this has been zeroed out using the wrong length.
In practice the length would always be too small, leading to not zeroing

and because we'd reinitialize any given entry before use. Still,

The original coding here (which is, I believe, my fault) supposed that
it didn't need to concern itself with the possibility that one object
of a given type-priority has a namespace while another doesn't. But
that's not reliably true anymore, if it ever was; and if it does happen
then it's possible that DOTypeNameCompare returns self-inconsistent
comparison results. That leads to unspecified behavior in qsort()
and a resultant weird output order from pg_dump.
This should end up being only a cosmetic problem, because any ordering
constraints that actually matter should be enforced by the later
dependency-based sort. Still, it's a bug, so back-patch.
Report and fix by Jacob Champion, though I editorialized on his
patch to the extent of making NULL sort after non-NULL, for consistency
with our usual sorting definitions.

The logic in PQconnectPoll() did not take care to ensure that all of
a PGconn's internal state variables were reset before trying a new
connection attempt. If we got far enough in the connection sequence
to have changed any of these variables, and then decided to try a new
server address or server name, the new connection might be completed
with some state that really only applied to the failed connection.
While this has assorted bad consequences, the only one that is clearly
a security issue is that password_needed didn't get reset, so that
if the first server asked for a password and the second didn't,
PQconnectionUsedPassword() would return an incorrect result. This
could be leveraged by unprivileged users of dblink or postgres_fdw
to allow them to use server-side login credentials that they should
not be able to use.
Other notable problems include the possibility of forcing a v2-protocol
connection to a server capable of supporting v3, or overriding
"sslmode=prefer" to cause a non-encrypted connection to a server that
would have accepted an encrypted one. Those are certainly bugs but
it's harder to paint them as security problems in themselves. However,
forcing a v2-protocol connection could result in libpq having a wrong
idea of the server's standard_conforming_strings setting, which opens
the door to SQL-injection attacks. The extent to which that's actually
a problem, given the prerequisite that the attacker needs control of
the client's connection parameters, is unclear.
These problems have existed for a long time, but became more easily
exploitable in v10, both because it introduced easy ways to force libpq
to abandon a connection attempt at a late stage and then try another one
(rather than just giving up), and because it provided an easy way to
specify multiple target hosts.
Fix by rearranging PQconnectPoll's state machine to provide centralized
places to reset state properly when moving to a new target host or when
dropping and retrying a connection to the same host.

It's necessary to make sure that owning tables have a relcache
invalidation prior to advancing the command counter to make
newly-entered catalog tuples for the index visible. inval.c must be
able to maintain the consistency of the local caches in the event of
transaction abort. There is usually only a problem when CREATE INDEX
transactions abort, since there is a generic invalidation once we reach
index_update_stats().
This bug is of long standing. Problems were made much more likely by
the addition of parallel CREATE INDEX (commit 9da0cc35284), but it is
strongly suspected that similar problems can be triggered without
involving plan_create_index_workers(). (plan_create_index_workers()
triggers a relcache build or rebuild, which previously only happened in
rare edge cases.)

critical differences: empty strings ("") are legal, and depending on which
variable you're considering, values longer than NAMEDATALEN might be valid
too. So the current technique fails altogether on empty-string list
entries (as reported by Steven Winfield in bug #15248) and it also risks
truncating file pathnames during dump/reload of GUC values that are lists
of pathnames.
To fix, split the stored value without any downcasing or truncation,
and then emit each element as a SQL string literal.
This is a tad annoying, because we now have three copies of the
comma-separated-string splitting logic in varlena.c as well as a fourth
one in dumputils.c. (Not to mention the randomly-different-from-those
splitting logic in libpq...) I looked at unifying these, but it would
be rather a mess unless we're willing to tweak the API definitions of
SplitIdentifierString, SplitDirectoriesString, or both. That might be
worth doing in future; but it seems pretty unsafe for a back-patched
bug fix, so for now accept the duplication.
Back-patch to all supported branches, as the previous fix was.

pg_dump knew about printing ALTER TABLE ... REPLICA IDENTITY USING INDEX
for indexes declared as indexes, but it failed to print that for indexes
declared as unique or primary-key constraints. Per report from Achilleas
Mantzios.
This has been broken since the feature was introduced, AFAICS.
Back-patch to 9.4.

Commit 5770172cb0c9df9e6ce27c507b449557e5b45124 documented secure schema
usage, and that advice suffices for using unqualified names securely.
Document, in typeconv-func primarily, the additional issues that arise
with qualified names. Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported versions).

Previously pg_upgrade checked for the pid file and started/stopped the
server to force a clean shutdown. However, "pg_ctl -m immediate"
removes the pid file but doesn't do a clean shutdown, so check
pg_controldata for a clean shutdown too.

I blew the dust off a Bourne shell (file date 1996, yea verily) and
tried to run test.sh with it. It mostly worked, but I found that the
temp-directory creation code introduced by commit be76a6d39 was not
compatible, for a couple of reasons: this shell thinks "set -e" should
force an exit if a command within backticks fails, and it also thinks code
within braces should be executed by a sub-shell, meaning that variable
settings don't propagate back up to the parent shell. In view of Victor
Wagner's report that Solaris is still using pre-POSIX shells, seems like
we oughta make this case work. It's not like the code is any less
idiomatic this way; the prior coding technique appeared nowhere else.
(There is a remaining bash-ism here, which is that $RANDOM doesn't do
what the code hopes in non-bash shells. But the use of $$ elsewhere in
that path should be enough to ensure uniqueness and some amount of
randomness, so I think it's okay as-is.)
Back-patch to all supported branches, as the previous commit was.

PostgreSQL 9.4 introduces posting list compression in GIN. This feature
supports online upgrade, so that after pg_upgrade uncompressed posting
lists are compressed on-the-fly. Underlying code appears to always
expect at least one item on uncompressed posting list page. But there
could be completely empty pages, because VACUUM never deletes leftmost
and rightmost pages from posting trees. This commit fixes that.

A collection of typos I happened to spot while reading code, as well as
grepping for common mistakes.
Backpatch to all supported versions, as applicable, to avoid conflicts
when backporting other commits in the future.

lca_inner() wasn't prepared for the possibility of getting no inputs.
Fix that, and make some cosmetic improvements to the code while at it.
Also, I thought the documentation of this function as returning the
"longest common prefix" of the paths was entirely misleading; it really
returns a path one shorter than the longest common prefix, for the typical
definition of "prefix". Don't use that term in the docs, and adjust the
examples to clarify what really happens.
This has been broken since its beginning, so back-patch to all supported
branches.
Per report from Hailong Li. Thanks to Pierre Ducroquet for diagnosing
and for the initial patch, though I whacked it around some and added
test cases.
