Previously, if the postmaster initialized OpenSSL's PRNG (which it will do
when ssl=on in postgresql.conf), the same pseudo-random state would be
inherited by each forked child process. The problem is masked to a
considerable extent if the incoming connection uses SSL encryption, but
when it does not, identical pseudo-random state is made available to
functions like contrib/pgcrypto. The process's PID does get mixed into any
requested random output, but on most systems that still only results in 32K
or so distinct random sequences available across all Postgres sessions.
This might allow an attacker who has database access to guess the results
of "secure" operations happening in another session.
To fix, forcibly reset the PRNG after fork(). Each child process that has
need for random numbers from OpenSSL's generator will thereby be forced to
go through OpenSSL's normal initialization sequence, which should provide
much greater variability of the sequences. There are other ways we might
do this that would be slightly cheaper, but this approach seems the most
future-proof against SSL-related code changes.
This has been assigned CVE-2013-1900, but since the issue and the patch
have already been publicized on pgsql-hackers, there's no point in trying
to hide this commit.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

The previous coding of this function could get into situations where it
would never terminate, because successive passes would re-add EMPTY arcs
that had been removed by the previous pass. Rewrite the function
completely using a new algorithm that is guaranteed to terminate, and
also seems to be usually faster than the old one. Per Tcl bugs 3604074
and 3606683.

formatting.c used locale-dependent case folding rules in some code paths
where the result isn't supposed to be locale-dependent, for example
to_char(timestamp, 'DAY'). Since the source data is always just ASCII
in these cases, that usually didn't matter ... but it does matter in
Turkish locales, which have unusual treatment of "i" and "I". To confuse
matters even more, the misbehavior was only visible in UTF8 encoding,
because in single-byte encodings we used pg_toupper/pg_tolower which
don't have locale-specific behavior for ASCII characters. Fix by providing
intentionally ASCII-only case-folding functions and using these where
appropriate. Per bug #7913 from Adnan Dursun. Back-patch to all active
branches, since it's been like this for a long time.

I fixed this code back in commit 841b4a2d5, but didn't think carefully
enough about the behavior near zero, which meant it improperly rejected
1999-12-31 24:00:00. Per report from Magnus Hagander.

parseqatom() failed to check for an error return (NULL result) from its
recursive call to parsebranch(), and in consequence could crash with a
null-pointer dereference after an error return. This bug has been there
since day one, but wasn't noticed before, probably because most error cases
in parsebranch() didn't actually lead to returning NULL. Add the missing
error check, and also tweak parsebranch() to exit in a less indirect
fashion after a call to parseqatom() fails.
Report by Tomasz Karlik, fix by me.

After further reflection I was unconvinced that the existing coding is
guaranteed to return valid union datums in every code path for multi-column
indexes. Fix that by forcing a gistunionsubkey() call at the end of the
recursion. Having done that, we can remove some clearly-redundant calls
elsewhere. This should be a little faster for multi-column indexes (since
the previous coding would uselessly do such a call for each column while
unwinding the recursion), as well as much harder to break.
Also, simplify the handling of cases where one side or the other of a
primary split contains only don't-care tuples. The previous coding used a
very ugly hack in removeDontCares() that essentially forced one random
tuple to be treated as non-don't-care, providing a random initial choice of
seed datum for the secondary split. It seems unlikely that that method
will give better-than-random splits. Instead, treat such a split as
degenerate and just let the next column determine the split, the same way
that we handle fully degenerate cases where the two sides produce identical
union datums.
|
|
This LOG message was put in over five years ago with the evident
expectation that we'd make all GiST opclasses support secondary split
directly. However, no such thing ever happened, and indeed the number of
opclasses supporting it decreased to zero in 9.2. The reason is that
improving on the default implementation isn't that easy --- the
opclass-specific code that did exist, before 9.2, doesn't appear to have
been any improvement over the default.
Hence, remove the message altogether. There's certainly no point in
nagging users about this in released branches, but I doubt that we'll
ever implement complete opclass-specific support anyway.
|

Improve comments, rename some variables and functions, slightly simplify
a couple of APIs, in an attempt to make this code readable by people other
than its original author.
Even though this is essentially just cosmetic, back-patch to all active
branches, because otherwise it's going to make back-patching future fixes
in this file very painful.

While there's considerable doubt that we want fuzzy behavior in the
geometric operators at all (let alone as currently implemented), nobody is
stepping forward to redesign that stuff. In the meantime it behooves us
to make sure that index searches agree with the behavior of the underlying
operators. This patch fixes two problems in this area.
First, gist_box_same was using fuzzy equality, but it really needs to use
exact equality to prevent not-quite-identical upper index keys from being
treated as identical, which for example would prevent an existing upper
key from being extended by an amount less than epsilon. This would result
in inconsistent indexes. (The next release notes will need to recommend
that users reindex GiST indexes on boxes, polygons, circles, and points,
since all four opclasses use gist_box_same.)
Second, gist_point_consistent used exact comparisons for upper-page
comparisons in ~= searches, when it needs to use fuzzy comparisons to
ensure it finds all matches; and it used fuzzy comparisons for point <@ box
searches, when it needs to use exact comparisons because that's what the
<@ operator (rather inconsistently) does.
The added regression test cases illustrate all three misbehaviors.
Back-patch to all active branches. (8.4 did not have GiST point_ops,
but it still seems prudent to apply the gist_box_same patch to it.)

When considering a non-last column in a multi-column GiST index,
gistsplit.c tries to improve on the split chosen by the opclass-specific
pickSplit function by considering penalties for the next column. However,
there were two bugs in this code: it failed to recompute the union keys for
the leftmost index columns, even though these might well change after
reassigning tuples; and it included the old union keys in the recomputation
for the columns it did recompute, so that those keys couldn't get smaller
even if they should. The first problem could result in an invalid index
in which searches wouldn't find index entries that are in fact present;
the second would make the index less efficient to search.
Both of these errors were caused by misuse of gistMakeUnionItVec, whose
API was designed in a way that just begged such errors to be made. There
is no situation in which it's safe or useful to compute the union keys for
a subset of the index columns, and there is no caller that wants any
previous union keys to be included in the computation; so the undocumented
choice to treat the union keys as in/out rather than pure output parameters
is a waste of code as well as being dangerous.
Hence, rather than just making a minimal patch, I've changed the API of
gistMakeUnionItVec to remove the "startkey" parameter (it now always
processes all index columns) and treat the attr/isnull arrays as purely
output parameters.
In passing, also get rid of a couple of unnecessary and dangerous uses
of static variables in gistutil.c. It's remarkable that the one in
gistMakeUnionKey hasn't given us portability troubles before now, because
in addition to posing a re-entrancy hazard, it was unsafely assuming that
a static char[] array would have at least Datum alignment.
Per investigation of a trouble report from Tomas Vondra. (There are also
some bugs in contrib/btree_gist to be fixed, but that seems like material
for a separate patch.) Back-patch to all supported branches.

Normally, we suppress sending a tabstats message to the collector unless
there were some actual table stats to send. However, during backend exit
we should force out the message if there are any transaction commit/abort
counts to send, else the session's last few commit/abort counts will never
get reported at all. We had logic for this, but the short-circuit test
at the top of pgstat_report_stat() ignored the "force" flag, with the
consequence that session-ending transactions that touched no database-local
tables would not get counted. Seems to be an oversight in my commit
641912b4d17fd214a5e5bae4e7bb9ddbc28b144b, which added the "force" flag.
That was back in 8.3, so back-patch to all supported versions.

This function was misdeclared to take cstring when it should take internal.
This at least allows crashing the server, and in principle an attacker
might be able to use the function to examine the contents of server memory.
The correct fix is to adjust the system catalog contents (and fix the
regression tests that should have caught this but failed to). However,
asking users to correct the catalog contents in existing installations
is a pain, so as a band-aid fix for the back branches, install a check
in enum_recv() to make it throw error if called with a cstring argument.
We will later revert this in HEAD in favor of correcting the catalogs.
Our thanks to Sumit Soni (via Secunia SVCRP) for reporting this issue.

The original code used freeze_min_age instead of freeze_table_age. The
main consequence of this mistake is that lowering freeze_min_age would
cause full-table scans to occur much more frequently, which causes
serious issues because the number of writes required is much larger.
That feature (freeze_min_age) is supposed to affect only how soon tuples
are frozen; some pages should still be skipped due to the visibility
map.
Backpatch to 8.4, where the freeze_table_age feature was introduced.

Such cases should work, but the grammar failed to accept them because of
our ancient precedence hacks to convince bison that extra parentheses
around a sub-SELECT in an expression are unambiguous. (Formally, they
*are* ambiguous, but we don't especially care whether they're treated as
part of the sub-SELECT or part of the expression. Bison cares, though.)
Fix by adding a redundant-looking production for this case.
This is a fine example of why fixing shift/reduce conflicts via
precedence declarations is more dangerous than it looks: you can easily
cause the parser to reject cases that should work.
This has been wrong since commit 3db4056e22b0c6b2adc92543baf8408d2894fe91
or maybe before, and apparently some people have been working around it
by inserting no-op casts. That method introduces a dump/reload hazard,
as illustrated in bug #7838 from Jan Mate. Hence, back-patch to all
active branches.

My "fix" for bugs #7578 and #6116 on DROP OWNED at fe3b5eb08a1 not only
misstated that it applied to REASSIGN OWNED (which it did not affect),
but it also failed to fix the problems fully, because I didn't test the
case of owned shared objects. Thus I created a new bug, reported by
Thomas Kellerer as #7748, which would cause DROP OWNED to fail with a
not-for-user-consumption error message. The code would attempt to drop
the database, which not only fails to work because the underlying code
does not support that, but is a pretty dangerous and undesirable thing
to be doing as well.
This patch fixes that bug by having DROP OWNED only attempt to process
shared objects when grants on them are found, ignoring ownership.
Backpatch to 8.3, which is as far as the previous bug was backpatched.

Use of SnapshotNow is known to expose us to race conditions if the tuple(s)
being sought could be updated by concurrently-committing transactions.
CREATE DATABASE and DROP DATABASE are particularly exposed because they do
heavyweight filesystem operations during their scans of pg_tablespace,
so that the scans run for a very long time compared to most. Furthermore,
the potential consequences of a missed or twice-visited row are nastier
than average:
* createdb() could fail with a bogus "file already exists" error, or
silently fail to copy one or more tablespace's worth of files into the
new database.
* remove_dbtablespaces() could miss one or more tablespaces, thus failing
to free filesystem space for the dropped database.
* check_db_file_conflict() could likewise miss a tablespace, leading to an
OID conflict that could result in data loss either immediately or in
future operations. (This seems of very low probability, though, since a
duplicate database OID would be unlikely to start with.)
Hence, it seems worth fixing these three places to use MVCC snapshots, even
though this will someday be superseded by a generic solution to SnapshotNow
race conditions.
Back-patch to all active branches.

Dates outside the supported range could be entered, but would not print
reasonably, and operations such as conversion to timestamp wouldn't behave
sanely either. Since this has the potential to result in undumpable table
data, it seems worth back-patching.

transformExpr() is required to cope with already-transformed expression
trees, for various ugly-but-not-quite-worth-cleaning-up reasons. However,
some of its newer subroutines hadn't gotten the memo. This accounts for
bug #7763 from Norbert Buchmuller: transformRowExpr() was overwriting the
previously determined type of a RowExpr during CREATE TABLE LIKE INCLUDING
INDEXES. Additional investigation showed that transformXmlExpr had the
same kind of problem, but all the other cases seem to be safe.

The dynahash code requires the number of buckets in a hash table to fit
in an int; but since we calculate the desired hash table size dynamically,
there are various scenarios where we might calculate too large a value.
The resulting overflow can lead to infinite loops, division-by-zero
crashes, etc. I (tgl) had previously installed some defenses against that
in commit 299d1716525c659f0e02840e31fbe4dea3, but that covered only one
call path. Moreover it worked by limiting the request size to work_mem,
but in a 64-bit machine it's possible to set work_mem high enough that the
problem appears anyway. So let's fix the problem at the root by installing
limits in the dynahash.c functions themselves.

If a file is truncated, we must update minRecoveryPoint. Once a file is
truncated, there's no going back; it would not be safe to stop recovery
at a point earlier than that anymore.

minRecoveryPoint was not updated during recovery at all.

During VACUUM if we pause to perform a cycle
of index cleanup we drop the vmbuffer pin,
so we should do the same thing when heap
scan completes. This avoids holding vmbuffer
pin across the main index cleanup in VACUUM,
which could be minutes or hours longer than
necessary for correctness.
Bug report and suggested fix from Pavan Deolasee

|
|
If we had not been holding buffer pin continuously since the tuple was
initially fetched by the UPDATE or DELETE query, it would be possible for
VACUUM or a page-prune operation to move the tuple while we're trying to
copy it. This would result in a garbage "old" tuple value being passed to
an AFTER ROW UPDATE or AFTER ROW DELETE trigger. The preconditions for
this are somewhat improbable, and the timing constraints are very tight;
so it's not so surprising that this hasn't been reported from the field,
even though the bug has been there a long time.
Problem found by Andres Freund. Back-patch to all active branches.

The length of a socket path name is constrained by the size of struct
sockaddr_un, and there's not a lot we can do about it since that is a
kernel API. However, it would be a good thing if we produced an
intelligible error message when the user specifies a socket path that's too
long --- and getaddrinfo's standard API is too impoverished to do this in
the natural way. So insert explicit tests at the places where we construct
a socket path name. Now you'll get an error that makes sense and even
tells you what the limit is, rather than something generic like
"Non-recoverable failure in name resolution".
Per trouble report from Jeremy Drake and a fix idea from Andrew Dunstan.

This patch changes CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY so that the pg_index
flag changes it makes without exclusive lock on the index are made via
heap_inplace_update() rather than a normal transactional update. The
latter is not very safe because moving the pg_index tuple could result in
concurrent SnapshotNow scans finding it twice or not at all, thus possibly
resulting in index corruption.
In addition, fix various places in the code that ought to check to make
sure that the indexes they are manipulating are valid and/or ready as
appropriate. These represent bugs that have existed since 8.2, since
a failed CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY could leave a corrupt or invalid
index behind, and we ought not try to do anything that might fail with
such an index.
Also fix RelationReloadIndexInfo to ensure it copies all the pg_index
columns that are allowed to change after initial creation. Previously we
could have been left with stale values of some fields in an index relcache
entry. It's not clear whether this actually had any user-visible
consequences, but it's at least a bug waiting to happen.
This is a subset of a patch already applied in 9.2 and HEAD. Back-patch
into all earlier supported branches.

Some platforms throw an exception for this division, rather than returning
a necessarily-overflowed result. Since we were testing for overflow after
the fact, an exception isn't nice. We can avoid the problem by treating
division by -1 as negation.
Add some regression tests so that we'll find out if any compilers try to
optimize away the overflow check conditions.

The previous definitions of these GUC variables allowed them to range
up to INT_MAX, but in point of fact the underlying code would suffer
overflows or other errors with large values. Reduce the maximum values
to something that won't misbehave. There's no apparent value in working
harder than this, since very large delays aren't sensible for any of
these. (Note: the risk with archive_timeout is that if we're late
checking the state, the timestamp difference it's being compared to
might overflow. So we need some amount of slop; the choice of INT_MAX/2
is arbitrary.)
Per followup investigation of bug #7670. Although this isn't a very
significant fix, might as well back-patch.

The correct answer for this (or any other case with arg2 = -1) is zero,
but some machines throw a floating-point exception instead of behaving
sanely. Commit f9ac414c35ea084ff70c564ab2c32adb06d5296f dealt with this
in int4mod, but overlooked the fact that it also happens in int8mod
(at least on my Linux x86_64 machine). Protect int2mod as well; it's
not clear whether any machines fail there (mine does not) but since the
test is so cheap it seems better safe than sorry. While at it, simplify
the original guard in int4mod: we need only check for arg2 == -1, we
don't need to check arg1 explicitly.

record_out() leaks memory: it fails to free the strings returned by the
per-column output functions, and also is careless about detoasted values.
This results in a query-lifespan memory leakage when returning composite
values to the client, because printtup() runs the output functions in the
query-lifespan memory context. Fix it to handle these issues the same way
printtup() does. Also fix a similar leakage in record_send().
(At some point we might want to try to run output functions in
shorter-lived memory contexts, so that we don't need a zero-leakage policy
for them. But that would be a significantly more invasive patch, which
doesn't seem like material for back-patching.)
In passing, use appendStringInfoCharMacro instead of appendStringInfoChar
in the innermost data-copying loop of record_out, to try to shave a few
cycles from this function's runtime.

supported versions.

Since transformSetOperationTree() recurses, it can be driven to stack
overflow with enough UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT clauses in a query. Add a
check to ensure it fails cleanly instead of crashing. Per report from
Matthew Gerber (though it's not clear whether this is the only thing
going wrong for him).
Historical note: I think the reasoning behind not putting a check here in
the beginning was that the check in transformExpr() ought to be sufficient
to guard the whole parser. However, because transformSetOperationTree()
recurses all the way to the bottom of the set-operation tree before doing
any analysis of the statement's expressions, that check doesn't save it.

This case got broken in 8.4 by the addition of an error check that
complains if ALTER TABLE ONLY is used on a table that has children.
We do use ONLY for this situation, but it's okay because the necessary
recursion occurs at a higher level. So we need to have a separate
flag to suppress recursion without making the error check.
Reported and patched by Pavan Deolasee, with some editorial adjustments by
me. Back-patch to 8.4, since this is a regression of functionality that
worked in earlier branches.

generate_base_implied_equalities_const() should prefer plain Consts over
other em_is_const eclass members when choosing the "pivot" value that
all the other members will be equated to. This makes it more likely that
the generated equalities will be useful in constraint-exclusion proofs.

Views should not have any pg_attribute entries for system columns.
However, we forgot to remove such entries when converting a table to a
view. This could lead to crashes later on, if someone attempted to
reference such a column, as reported by Kohei KaiGai.
This problem is corrected properly in HEAD (by removing the pg_attribute
entries during conversion), but in the back branches we need to defend
against existing mis-converted views. This fix costs us an extra syscache
lookup per system column reference, which is annoying but probably not
really measurable in the big scheme of things.

An out-of-memory error during expand_table() on a palloc-based hash table
would leave a partially-initialized entry in the table. This would not be
harmful for transient hash tables, since they'd get thrown away anyway at
transaction abort. But for long-lived hash tables, such as the relcache
hash, this would effectively corrupt the table, leading to crash or other
misbehavior later.
To fix, rearrange the order of operations so that table enlargement is
attempted before we insert a new entry, rather than after adding it
to the hash table.
Problem discovered by Hitoshi Harada, though this is a bit different
from his proposed patch.

Per bug #7615 from Marko Tiikkaja. Apparently nobody ever tried this
case before ...

If a potential equivalence clause references a variable from the nullable
side of an outer join, the planner needs to take care that derived clauses
are not pushed to below the outer join; else they may use the wrong value
for the variable. (The problem arises only with non-strict clauses, since
if an upper clause can be proven strict then the outer join will get
simplified to a plain join.) The planner attempted to prevent this type
of error by checking that potential equivalence clauses aren't
outerjoin-delayed as a whole, but actually we have to check each side
separately, since the two sides of the clause will get moved around
separately if it's treated as an equivalence. Bugs of this type can be
demonstrated as far back as 7.4, even though releases before 8.3 had only
a very ad-hoc notion of equivalence clauses.
In addition, we neglected to account for the possibility that such clauses
might have nonempty nullable_relids even when not outerjoin-delayed; so the
equivalence-class machinery lacked logic to compute correct nullable_relids
values for clauses it constructs. This oversight was harmless before 9.2
because we were only using RestrictInfo.nullable_relids for OR clauses;
but as of 9.2 it could result in pushing constructed equivalence clauses
to incorrect places. (This accounts for bug #7604 from Bill MacArthur.)
Fix the first problem by adding a new test check_equivalence_delay() in
distribute_qual_to_rels, and fix the second one by adding code in
equivclass.c and called functions to set correct nullable_relids for
generated clauses. Although I believe the second part of this is not
currently necessary before 9.2, I chose to back-patch it anyway, partly to
keep the logic similar across branches and partly because it seems possible
we might find other reasons why we need valid values of nullable_relids in
the older branches.
Add regression tests illustrating these problems. In 9.0 and up, also
add test cases checking that we can push constants through outer joins,
since we've broken that optimization before and I nearly broke it again
with an overly simplistic patch for this problem.

When hashing a subplan like "WHERE (a, b) NOT IN (SELECT x, y FROM ...)",
findPartialMatch() attempted to match rows using the hashtable's internal
equality operators, which of course are for x and y's datatypes. What we
need to use are the potentially cross-type operators for a=x, b=y, etc.
Failure to do that leads to wrong answers or even crashes. The scope for
problems is limited to cases where we have different types with compatible
hash functions (else we'd not be using a hashed subplan), but for example
int4 vs int8 can cause the problem.
Per bug #7597 from Bo Jensen. This has been wrong since the hashed-subplan
code was written, so patch all the way back.

Building a shlib on AIX requires use of the mkldexport.sh script, but we

The planner previously assumed that parameter Vars having the same absolute
query level, varno, and varattno could safely be assigned the same runtime
PARAM_EXEC slot, even though they might be different Vars appearing in
different subqueries. This was (probably) safe before the introduction of
CTEs, but the lazy-evalution mechanism used for CTEs means that a CTE can
be executed during execution of some other subquery, causing the lifespan
of Params at the same syntactic nesting level as the CTE to overlap with
use of the same slots inside the CTE. In 9.1 we created additional hazards
by using the same parameter-assignment technology for nestloop inner scan
parameters, but it was broken before that, as illustrated by the added
regression test.
To fix, restructure the planner's management of PlannerParamItems so that
items having different semantic lifespans are kept rigorously separated.
This will probably result in complex queries using more runtime PARAM_EXEC
slots than before, but the slots are cheap enough that this hardly matters.
Also, stop generating PlannerParamItems containing Params for subquery
outputs: all we really need to do is reserve the PARAM_EXEC slot number,
and that now only takes incrementing a counter. The planning code is
simpler and probably faster than before, as well as being more correct.

e5db11c5582b469c04a11f217a0f32c827da5dd7, which fix one definite and one
speculative bug in gistchoose, and make the code a lot more intelligible as
well. In 9.2 only, this also affects the largely-copied-and-pasted logic
in gistRelocateBuildBuffersOnSplit.
The impact of the bugs was that the functions might make poor decisions
as to which index tree branch to push a new entry down into, resulting in
GiST index bloat and poor performance. The fixes rectify these decisions
for future insertions, but a REINDEX would be needed to clean up any
existing index bloat.

If we revoke a grant option from some role X, but X still holds the option
via another grant, we should not recursively revoke the privilege from
role(s) Y that X had granted it to. This was supposedly fixed as one
aspect of commit 4b2dafcc0b1a579ef5daaa2728223006d1ff98e9, but I must not
have tested it, because in fact that code never worked: it forgot to shift
the grant-option bits back over when masking the bits being revoked.

The previous coding essentially assumed that nodes would be rescanned in
the same order they were initialized in; or at least that the "leader" of
a group of CTEscans would be rescanned before any others were required to
execute. Unfortunately, that isn't even a little bit true. It's possible
to devise queries in which the leader isn't rescanned until other CTEscans
on the same CTE have run to completion, or even in which the leader never
gets a rescan call at all.
The fix makes the leader specially responsible only for initial creation
and final destruction of the tuplestore; rescan resets are now a
symmetrically shared responsibility. This means that we might reset the
tuplestore multiple times when restarting a plan subtree containing
multiple CTEscans; but resetting an already-empty tuplestore is cheap
enough that that doesn't seem like a problem.
Per report from Adam Mackler; the new regression test cases are based on
his example query.
Back-patch to 8.4 where CTE scans were introduced.
