2018-05-05Tweak tests to support Python 3.7Peter Eisentraut
Python 3.7 removes the trailing comma in the repr() of BaseException (see <https://bugs.python.org/issue30399>), leading to test output differences. Work around that by composing the equivalent test output in a more manual way.
2018-02-14Fix broken logic for reporting PL/Python function names in errcontext.Tom Lane
plpython_error_callback() reported the name of the function associated with the topmost PL/Python execution context. This was not merely wrong if there were nested PL/Python contexts, but it risked a core dump if the topmost one is an inline code block rather than a named function. That will have proname = NULL, and so we were passing a NULL pointer to snprintf("%s"). It seems that none of the PL/Python-testing machines in the buildfarm will dump core for that, but some platforms do, as reported by Marina Polyakova. Investigation finds that there actually is an existing regression test that used to prove that the behavior was wrong, though apparently no one had noticed that it was printing the wrong function name. It stopped showing the problem in 9.6 when we adjusted psql to not print CONTEXT by default for NOTICE messages. The problem is masked (if your platform avoids the core dump) in error cases, because PL/Python will throw away the originally generated error info in favor of a new traceback produced at the outer level. Repair by using ErrorContextCallback.arg to pass the correct context to the error callback. Add a regression test illustrating correct behavior. Back-patch to all supported branches, since they're all broken this way. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/156b989dbc6fe7c4d3223cf51da61195@postgrespro.ru

2016-12-09Be more careful about Python refcounts while creating exception objects.Tom Lane
PLy_generate_spi_exceptions neglected to do Py_INCREF on the new exception objects, evidently supposing that PyModule_AddObject would do that --- but it doesn't. This left us in a situation where a Python garbage collection cycle could result in deletion of exception object(s), causing server crashes or wrong answers if the exception objects are used later in the session. In addition, PLy_generate_spi_exceptions didn't bother to test for a null result from PyErr_NewException, which at best is inconsistent with the code in PLy_add_exceptions. And PLy_add_exceptions, while it did do Py_INCREF on the exceptions it makes, waited to do that till after some PyModule_AddObject calls, creating a similar risk for failure if garbage collection happened within those calls. To fix, refactor to have just one piece of code that creates an exception object and adds it to the spiexceptions module, bumping the refcount first. Also, let's add an additional refcount to represent the pointer we're going to store in a C global variable or hash table. This should only matter if the user does something weird like delete the spiexceptions Python module, but lack of paranoia has caused us enough problems in PL/Python already. The fact that PyModule_AddObject doesn't do a Py_INCREF of its own explains the need for the Py_INCREF added in commit 4c966d920, so we can improve the comment about that; also, this means we really want to do that before not after the PyModule_AddObject call. The missing Py_INCREF in PLy_generate_spi_exceptions was reported and diagnosed by Rafa de la Torre; the other fixes by me. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2016-04-11Fix freshly-introduced PL/Python portability bug.Tom Lane
It turns out that those PyErr_Clear() calls I removed from plpy_elog.c in 7e3bb080387f4143 et al were not quite as random as they appeared: they mask a Python 2.3.x bug. (Specifically, it turns out that PyType_Ready() can fail if the error indicator is set on entry, and PLy_traceback's fetch of frame.f_code may be the first operation in a session that requires the "frame" type to be readied. Ick.) Put back the clear call, but in a more centralized place closer to what it's protecting, and this time with a comment warning what it's really for. Per buildfarm member prairiedog. Although prairiedog was only failing on HEAD, it seems clearly possible for this to occur in older branches as well, so back-patch to 9.2 the same as the previous patch.
2016-04-10Fix access-to-already-freed-memory issue in plpython's error handling.Tom Lane
PLy_elog() could attempt to access strings that Python had already freed, because the strings that PLy_get_spi_error_data() returns are simply pointers into storage associated with the error "val" PyObject. That's fine at the instant PLy_get_spi_error_data() returns them, but just after that PLy_traceback() intentionally releases the only refcount on that object, allowing it to be freed --- so that the strings we pass to ereport() are dangling pointers. In principle this could result in garbage output or a coredump. In practice, I think the risk is pretty low, because there are no Python operations between where we decrement that refcount and where we use the strings (and copy them into PG storage), and thus no reason for Python to recycle the storage. Still, it's clearly hazardous, and it leads to Valgrind complaints when running under a Valgrind that hasn't been lobotomized to ignore Python memory allocations. The code was a mess anyway: we fetched the error data out of Python (clearing Python's error indicator) with PyErr_Fetch, examined it, pushed it back into Python with PyErr_Restore (re-setting the error indicator), then immediately pulled it back out with another PyErr_Fetch. Just to confuse matters even more, there were some gratuitous-and-yet-hazardous PyErr_Clear calls in the "examine" step, and we didn't get around to doing PyErr_NormalizeException until after the second PyErr_Fetch, making it even less clear which object was being manipulated where and whether we still had a refcount on it. (If PyErr_NormalizeException did substitute a different "val" object, it's possible that the problem could manifest for real, because then we'd be doing assorted Python stuff with no refcount on the object we have string pointers into.) So, rearrange all that into some semblance of sanity, and don't decrement the refcount on the Python error objects until the end of PLy_elog(). In HEAD, I failed to resist the temptation to reformat some messy bits from 5c3c3cd0a3046339 along the way. Back-patch as far as 9.2, because the code is substantially the same that far back. I believe that 9.1 has the bug as well; but the code around it is rather different and I don't want to take a chance on breaking something for what seems a low-probability problem.

2016-02-16Make plpython cope with funny characters in function names.Tom Lane
A function name that's double-quoted in SQL can contain almost any characters, but we were using that name directly as part of the name generated for the Python-level function, and Python doesn't like anything that isn't pretty much a standard identifier. To fix, replace anything that isn't an ASCII letter or digit with an underscore in the generated name. This doesn't create any risk of duplicate Python function names because we were already appending the function OID to the generated name to ensure uniqueness. Per bug #13960 from Jim Nasby. Patch by Jim Nasby, modified a bit by me. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2016-01-11Avoid dump/reload problems when using both plpython2 and plpython3.Tom Lane
Commit 803716013dc1350f installed a safeguard against loading plpython2 and plpython3 at the same time, but asserted that both could still be used in the same database, just not in the same session. However, that's not actually all that practical because dumping and reloading will fail (since both libraries necessarily get loaded into the restoring session). pg_upgrade is even worse, because it checks for missing libraries by loading every .so library mentioned in the entire installation into one session, so that you can have only one across the whole cluster. We can improve matters by not throwing the error immediately in _PG_init, but only when and if we're asked to do something that requires calling into libpython. This ameliorates both of the above situations, since while execution of CREATE LANGUAGE, CREATE FUNCTION, etc will result in loading plpython, it isn't asked to do anything interesting (at least not if check_function_bodies is off, as it will be during a restore). It's possible that this opens some corner-case holes in which a crash could be provoked with sufficient effort. However, since plpython only exists as an untrusted language, any such crash would require superuser privileges, making it "don't do that" not a security issue. To reduce the hazards in this area, the error is still FATAL when it does get thrown. Per a report from Paul Jones. Back-patch to 9.2, which is as far back as the patch applies without work. (It could be made to work in 9.1, but given the lack of previous complaints, I'm disinclined to expend effort so far back. We've been pretty desultory about support for Python 3 in 9.1 anyway.)
2016-01-08PL/Python: Make tests pass with Python 3.5Tom Lane
The error message wording for AttributeError has changed in Python 3.5. For the plpython_error test, add a new expected file. In the plpython_subtransaction test, we didn't really care what the exception is, only that it is something coming from Python. So use a generic exception instead, which has a message that doesn't vary across versions. Back-patch of commit f16d52269a196f7f303abe3b978d95ade265f05f, which was previously back-patched into 9.2-9.4, but missed 9.5.

2015-08-21Fix plpython crash when returning string representation of a RECORD result.Tom Lane
PLyString_ToComposite() blithely overwrote proc->result.out.d, even though for a composite result type the other union variant proc->result.out.r is the one that should be valid. This could result in a crash if out.r had in fact been filled in (proc->result.is_rowtype == 1) and then somebody later attempted to use that data; as per bug #13579 from Paweł Michalak. Just to add insult to injury, it didn't work for RECORD results anyway, because record_in() would refuse the case. Fix by doing the I/O function lookup in a local PLyTypeInfo variable, as we were doing already in PLyObject_ToComposite(). This is not a great technique because any fn_extra data allocated by the input function will be leaked permanently (thanks to using TopMemoryContext as fn_mcxt). But that's a pre-existing issue that is much less serious than a crash, so leave it to be fixed separately. This bug would be a potential security issue, except that plpython is only available to superusers and the crash requires coding the function in a way that didn't work before today's patches. Add regression test cases covering all the supported methods of converting composite results. Back-patch to 9.1 where the faulty coding was introduced.

2015-08-02Fix a number of places that produced XX000 errors in the regression tests.Tom Lane
It's against project policy to use elog() for user-facing errors, or to omit an errcode() selection for errors that aren't supposed to be "can't happen" cases. Fix all the violations of this policy that result in ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR log entries during the standard regression tests, as errors that can reliably be triggered from SQL surely should be considered user-facing. I also looked through all the files touched by this commit and fixed other nearby problems of the same ilk. I do not claim to have fixed all violations of the policy, just the ones in these files. In a few places I also changed existing ERRCODE choices that didn't seem particularly appropriate; mainly replacing ERRCODE_SYNTAX_ERROR by something more specific. Back-patch to 9.5, but no further; changing ERRCODE assignments in stable branches doesn't seem like a good idea.

2015-05-20Collection of typo fixes.Heikki Linnakangas
Use "a" and "an" correctly, mostly in comments. Two error messages were also fixed (they were just elogs, so no translation work required). Two function comments in pg_proc.h were also fixed. Etsuro Fujita reported one of these, but I found a lot more with grep. Also fix a few other typos spotted while grepping for the a/an typos. For example, "consists out of ..." -> "consists of ...". Plus a "though"/ "through" mixup reported by Euler Taveira. Many of these typos were in old code, which would be nice to backpatch to make future backpatching easier. But much of the code was new, and I didn't feel like crafting separate patches for each branch. So no backpatching.
2015-05-19Revert error-throwing wrappers for the printf family of functions.Tom Lane
This reverts commit 16304a013432931e61e623c8d85e9fe24709d9ba, except for its changes in src/port/snprintf.c; as well as commit cac18a76bb6b08f1ecc2a85e46c9d2ab82dd9d23 which is no longer needed. Fujii Masao reported that the previous commit caused failures in psql on OS X, since if one exits the pager program early while viewing a query result, psql sees an EPIPE error from fprintf --- and the wrapper function thought that was reason to panic. (It's a bit surprising that the same does not happen on Linux.) Further discussion among the security list concluded that the risk of other such failures was far too great, and that the one-size-fits-all approach to error handling embodied in the previous patch is unlikely to be workable. This leaves us again exposed to the possibility of the type of failure envisioned in CVE-2015-3166. However, that failure mode is strictly hypothetical at this point: there is no concrete reason to believe that an attacker could trigger information disclosure through the supposed mechanism. In the first place, the attack surface is fairly limited, since so much of what the backend does with format strings goes through stringinfo.c or psprintf(), and those already had adequate defenses. In the second place, even granting that an unprivileged attacker could control the occurrence of ENOMEM with some precision, it's a stretch to believe that he could induce it just where the target buffer contains some valuable information. So we concluded that the risk of non-hypothetical problems induced by the patch greatly outweighs the security risks. We will therefore revert, and instead undertake closer analysis to identify specific calls that may need hardening, rather than attempt a universal solution. We have kept the portion of the previous patch that improved snprintf.c's handling of errors when it calls the platform's sprintf(). That seems to be an unalloyed improvement. Security: CVE-2015-3166
2015-05-18Add error-throwing wrappers for the printf family of functions.Noah Misch
All known standard library implementations of these functions can fail with ENOMEM. A caller neglecting to check for failure would experience missing output, information exposure, or a crash. Check return values within wrappers and code, currently just snprintf.c, that bypasses the wrappers. The wrappers do not return after an error, so their callers need not check. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions). Popular free software standard library implementations do take pains to bypass malloc() in simple cases, but they risk ENOMEM for floating point numbers, positional arguments, large field widths, and large precisions. No specification demands such caution, so this commit regards every call to a printf family function as a potential threat. Injecting the wrappers implicitly is a compromise between patch scope and design goals. I would prefer to edit each call site to name a wrapper explicitly. libpq and the ECPG libraries would, ideally, convey errors to the caller rather than abort(). All that would be painfully invasive for a back-patched security fix, hence this compromise. Security: CVE-2015-3166
2015-05-12PL/Python: Remove procedure cache invalidationPeter Eisentraut
This was added to react to changes in the pg_transform catalog, but building with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS showed that PL/Python was not prepared for having its procedure cache cleared. Since this is a marginal use case, and we don't do this for other catalogs anyway, we can postpone this to another day.

2015-05-02Windows also needs an override of the shared libpython detectionPeter Eisentraut
2015-05-01Move interpreter shared library detection to configurePeter Eisentraut
For building PL/Perl, PL/Python, and PL/Tcl, we need a shared library of libperl, libpython, and libtcl, respectively. Previously, this was checked in the makefiles, skipping the PL build with a warning if no shared library was available. Now this is checked in configure, with an error if no shared library is available. The previous situation arose because in the olden days, the configure options --with-perl, --with-python, and --with-tcl controlled whether frontend interfaces for those languages would be built. The procedural languages were added later, and shared libraries were often not available in the beginning. So it was decided skip the builds of the procedural languages in those cases. The frontend interfaces have since been removed from the tree, and shared libraries are now available most of the time, so that setup makes much less sense now. Also, the new setup allows contrib modules and pgxs users to rely on the respective PLs being available based on configure flags.
2015-04-29Fix parallel make risk with new check temp-install setupPeter Eisentraut
The "check" target no longer needs to depend on "all", because it now runs "install" directly, which in turn depends on "all". Doing both will cause problems with parallel make, because two builds will run next to each other. Also remove the redirection of the temp-install output into a log file. This was appropriate when this was done from within pg_regress, but now it's just a regular make run, and especially with the above changes this will now take the place of running the "all" target before the test suites. problem report by Jeff Janes, patch in part by Michael Paquier

2015-04-23Improve speed of make check-worldPeter Eisentraut
Before, make check-world would create a new temporary installation for each test suite, which is slow and wasteful. Instead, we now create one test installation that is used by all test suites that are part of a make run. The management of the temporary installation is removed from pg_regress and handled in the makefiles. This allows for better control, and unifies the code with that of test suites not run through pg_regress. review and msvc support by Michael Paquier <michael.paquier@gmail.com> more review by Fabien Coelho <coelho@cri.ensmp.fr>
2015-03-26Tweak __attribute__-wrapping macros for better pgindent results.Tom Lane
This improves on commit bbfd7edae5aa5ad5553d3c7e102f2e450d4380d4 by making two simple changes: * pg_attribute_noreturn now takes parentheses, ie pg_attribute_noreturn(). Likewise pg_attribute_unused(), pg_attribute_packed(). This reduces pgindent's tendency to misformat declarations involving them. * attributes are now always attached to function declarations, not definitions. Previously some places were taking creative shortcuts, which were not merely candidates for bad misformatting by pgindent but often were outright wrong anyway. (It does little good to put a noreturn annotation where callers can't see it.) In any case, if we would like to believe that these macros can be used with non-gcc compilers, we should avoid gratuitous variance in usage patterns. I also went through and manually improved the formatting of a lot of declarations, and got rid of excessively repetitive (and now obsolete anyway) comments informing the reader what pg_attribute_printf is for.

2015-03-11Add macros wrapping all usage of gcc's __attribute__.Andres Freund
Until now __attribute__() was defined to be empty for all compilers but gcc. That's problematic because it prevents using it in other compilers; which is necessary e.g. for atomics portability. It's also just generally dubious to do so in a header as widely included as c.h. Instead add pg_attribute_format_arg, pg_attribute_printf, pg_attribute_noreturn macros which are implemented in the compilers that understand them. Also add pg_attribute_noreturn and pg_attribute_packed, but don't provide fallbacks, since they can affect functionality. This means that external code that, possibly unwittingly, relied on __attribute__ defined to be empty on !gcc compilers may now run into warnings or errors on those compilers. But there shouldn't be many occurances of that and it's hard to work around... Discussion: 54B58BA3.8040302@ohmu.fi Author: Oskari Saarenmaa, with some minor changes by me.

2014-12-18Improve hash_create's API for selecting simple-binary-key hash functions.Tom Lane
Previously, if you wanted anything besides C-string hash keys, you had to specify a custom hashing function to hash_create(). Nearly all such callers were specifying tag_hash or oid_hash; which is tedious, and rather error-prone, since a caller could easily miss the opportunity to optimize by using hash_uint32 when appropriate. Replace this with a design whereby callers using simple binary-data keys just specify HASH_BLOBS and don't need to mess with specific support functions. hash_create() itself will take care of optimizing when the key size is four bytes. This nets out saving a few hundred bytes of code space, and offers a measurable performance improvement in tidbitmap.c (which was not exploiting the opportunity to use hash_uint32 for its 4-byte keys). There might be some wins elsewhere too, I didn't analyze closely. In future we could look into offering a similar optimized hashing function for 8-byte keys. Under this design that could be done in a centralized and machine-independent fashion, whereas getting it right for keys of platform-dependent sizes would've been notationally painful before. For the moment, the old way still works fine, so as not to break source code compatibility for loadable modules. Eventually we might want to remove tag_hash and friends from the exported API altogether, since there's no real need for them to be explicitly referenced from outside dynahash.c.
