2013-12-03libpq: change PQconndefaults() to ignore invalid service filesBruce Momjian
Previously missing or invalid service files returned NULL. Also fix pg_upgrade to report "out of memory" for a null return from PQconndefaults(). Patch by Steve Singer, rewritten by me
2013-10-22Get rid of use of asprintf() in favor of a more portable implementation.Tom Lane
asprintf(), aside from not being particularly portable, has a fundamentally badly-designed API; the psprintf() function that was added in passing in the previous patch has a much better API choice. Moreover, the NetBSD implementation that was borrowed for the previous patch doesn't work with non-C99-compliant vsnprintf, which is something we still have to cope with on some platforms; and it depends on va_copy which isn't all that portable either. Get rid of that code in favor of an implementation similar to what we've used for many years in stringinfo.c. Also, move it into libpgcommon since it's not really libpgport material. I think this patch will be enough to turn the buildfarm green again, but there's still cosmetic work left to do, namely get rid of pg_asprintf() in favor of using psprintf(). That will come in a followon patch.

2011-05-31Replace use of credential control messages with getsockopt(LOCAL_PEERCRED).Tom Lane
It turns out the reason we hadn't found out about the portability issues with our credential-control-message code is that almost no modern platforms use that code at all; the ones that used to need it now offer getpeereid(), which we choose first. The last holdout was NetBSD, and they added getpeereid() as of 5.0. So far as I can tell, the only live platform on which that code was being exercised was Debian/kFreeBSD, ie, FreeBSD kernel with Linux userland --- since glibc doesn't provide getpeereid(), we fell back to the control message code. However, the FreeBSD kernel provides a LOCAL_PEERCRED socket parameter that's functionally equivalent to Linux's SO_PEERCRED. That is both much simpler to use than control messages, and superior because it doesn't require receiving a message from the other end at just the right time. Therefore, add code to use LOCAL_PEERCRED when necessary, and rip out all the credential-control-message code in the backend. (libpq still has such code so that it can still talk to pre-9.1 servers ... but eventually we can get rid of it there too.) Clean up related autoconf probes, too. This means that libpq's requirepeer parameter now works on exactly the same platforms where the backend supports peer authentication, so adjust the documentation accordingly.
2011-05-30Fix portability bugs in use of credentials control messages for peer auth.Tom Lane
Even though our existing code for handling credentials control messages has been basically unchanged since 2001, it was fundamentally wrong: it did not ensure proper alignment of the supplied buffer, and it was calculating buffer sizes and message sizes incorrectly. This led to failures on platforms where alignment padding is relevant, for instance FreeBSD on 64-bit platforms, as seen in a recent Debian bug report passed on by Martin Pitt (http://bugs.debian.org//cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=612888). Rewrite to do the message-whacking using the macros specified in RFC 2292, following a suggestion from Theo de Raadt in that thread. Tested by me on Debian/kFreeBSD-amd64; since OpenBSD and NetBSD document the identical CMSG API, it should work there too. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2010-07-14Allow full SSL certificate verification (wherein libpq checks its host nameTom Lane
parameter against server cert's CN field) to succeed in the case where both host and hostaddr are specified. As with the existing precedents for Kerberos, GSSAPI, SSPI, it is the calling application's responsibility that host and hostaddr match up --- we just use the host name as given. Per bug #5559 from Christopher Head. In passing, make the error handling and messages for the no-host-name-given failure more consistent among these four cases, and correct a lie in the documentation: we don't attempt to reverse-lookup host from hostaddr if host is missing. Back-patch to 8.4 where SSL cert verification was introduced.

2006-06-20Split definitions for md5.c out of crypt.h and into their own headerTom Lane
libpq/md5.h, so that there's a clear separation between backend-only definitions and shared frontend/backend definitions. (Turns out this is reversing a bad decision from some years ago...) Fix up references to crypt.h as needed. I looked into moving the code into src/port, but the headers in src/include/libpq are sufficiently intertwined that it seems more work than it's worth to do that.

While playing with this patch under 8.1.2 at home I discovered a mistake in how I manually applied one of the hunks to fe-auth.c. Basically, the base code had changed and so the patch needed to be modified slightly. This is because the code no longer either has a freeable pointer under 'name' or has 'name' as NULL. The attached patch correctly frees the string from pg_krb5_authname (where it had been strdup'd) if and only if pg_krb5_authname returned a string (as opposed to falling through and having name be set using name = pw->name;). Also added a comment to this effect. Backpatch to 8.1.X. Stephen Frost
