2021-03-17Prevent buffer overrun in read_tablespace_map().Tom Lane
Robert Foggia of Trustwave reported that read_tablespace_map() fails to prevent an overrun of its on-stack input buffer. Since the tablespace map file is presumed trustworthy, this does not seem like an interesting security vulnerability, but still we should fix it just in the name of robustness. While here, document that pg_basebackup's --tablespace-mapping option doesn't work with tar-format output, because it doesn't. To make it work, we'd have to modify the tablespace_map file within the tarball sent by the server, which might be possible but I'm not volunteering. (Less-painful solutions would require changing the basebackup protocol so that the source server could adjust the map. That's not very appetizing either.)
2021-03-12Fix race condition in psql \e's detection of file modification.Tom Lane
psql's editing commands decide whether the user has edited the file by checking for change of modification timestamp. This is probably fine for a pre-existing file, but with a temporary file that is created within the command, it's possible for a fast typist to save-and-exit in less than the one-second granularity of stat(2) timestamps. On Windows FAT filesystems the granularity is even worse, 2 seconds, making the race a bit easier to hit. To fix, try to set the temp file's mod time to be two seconds ago. It's unlikely this would fail, but then again the race condition itself is unlikely, so just ignore any error. Also, we might as well check the file size as well as its mod time. While this is a difficult bug to hit, it still seems worth back-patching, to ensure that users' edits aren't lost.

2021-03-11Re-simplify management of inStart in pqParseInput3's subroutines.Tom Lane
Commit 92785dac2 copied some logic related to advancement of inStart from pqParseInput3 into getRowDescriptions and getAnotherTuple, because it wanted to allow user-defined row processor callbacks to potentially longjmp out of the library, and inStart would have to be updated before that happened to avoid an infinite loop. We later decided that that API was impossibly fragile and reverted it, but we didn't undo all of the related code changes, and this bit of messiness survived. Undo it now so that there's just one place in pqParseInput3's processing where inStart is advanced; this will simplify addition of better tracing support. getParamDescriptions had grown similar processing somewhere along the way (not in 92785dac2; I didn't track down just when), but it's actually buggy because its handling of corrupt-message cases seems to have been copied from the v2 logic where we lacked a known message length. The cases where we "goto not_enough_data" should not simply return EOF, because then we won't consume the message, potentially creating an infinite loop. That situation now represents a definitively corrupt message, and we should report it as such. Although no field reports of getParamDescriptions getting stuck in a loop have been seen, it seems appropriate to back-patch that fix. I chose to back-patch all of this to keep the logic looking more alike in supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2217283.1615411989@sss.pgh.pa.us

2021-02-23Reinstate HEAP_XMAX_LOCK_ONLY|HEAP_KEYS_UPDATED as allowedAlvaro Herrera
Commit 866e24d47db1 added an assert that HEAP_XMAX_LOCK_ONLY and HEAP_KEYS_UPDATED cannot appear together, on the faulty assumption that the latter necessarily referred to an update and not a tuple lock; but that's wrong, because SELECT FOR UPDATE can use precisely that combination, as evidenced by the amcheck test case added here.

2021-02-18Fix another ancient bug in parsing of BRE-mode regular expressions.Tom Lane
While poking at the regex code, I happened to notice that the bug squashed in commit afcc8772e had a sibling: next() failed to return a specific value associated with the '}' token for a "\{m,n\}" quantifier when parsing in basic RE mode. Again, this could result in treating the quantifier as non-greedy, which it never should be in basic mode. For that to happen, the last character before "\}" that sets "nextvalue" would have to set it to zero, or it'd have to have accidentally been zero from the start. The failure can be provoked repeatably with, for example, a bound ending in digit "0". Like the previous patch, back-patch all the way.

2021-02-13pg_attribute_no_sanitize_alignment() macroTom Lane
Modern gcc and clang compilers offer alignment sanitizers, which help to detect pointer misalignment. However, our codebase already contains x86-specific crc32 computation code, which uses unalignment access.

2021-02-12Avoid divide-by-zero in regex_selectivity() with long fixed prefix.Tom Lane
Given a regex pattern with a very long fixed prefix (approaching 500 characters), the result of pow(FIXED_CHAR_SEL, fixed_prefix_len) can underflow to zero. Typically the preceding selectivity calculation would have underflowed as well, so that we compute 0/0 and get NaN. In released branches this leads to an assertion failure later on. That doesn't happen in HEAD, for reasons I've not explored yet, but it's surely still a bug. To fix, just skip the division when the pow() result is zero, so that we'll (most likely) return a zero selectivity estimate. In the edge cases where "sel" didn't yet underflow, perhaps this isn't desirable, but I'm not sure that the case is worth spending a lot of effort on. The results of regex_selectivity_sub() are barely worth the electrons they're written on anyway :-( Per report from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported versions.

2021-02-06Propagate CTE property flags when copying a CTE list into a rule.Tom Lane
rewriteRuleAction() neglected this step, although it was careful to propagate other similar flags such as hasSubLinks or hasRowSecurity. Omitting to transfer hasRecursive is just cosmetic at the moment, but omitting hasModifyingCTE is a live bug, since the executor certainly looks at that. The proposed test case only fails back to v10, but since the executor examines hasModifyingCTE in 9.x as well, I suspect that a test case could be devised that fails in older branches. Given the nearness of the release deadline, though, I'm not going to spend time looking for a better test.

2021-02-06Disallow converting an inheritance child table to a view.Tom Lane
Generally, members of inheritance trees must be plain tables (or, in more recent versions, foreign tables). ALTER TABLE INHERIT rejects creating an inheritance relationship that has a view at either end. When DefineQueryRewrite attempts to convert a relation to a view, it already had checks prohibiting doing so for partitioning parents or children as well as traditional-inheritance parents ... but it neglected to check that a traditional-inheritance child wasn't being converted. Since the planner assumes that any inheritance child is a table, this led to making plans that tried to do a physical scan on a view, causing failures (or even crashes, in recent versions). One could imagine trying to support such a case by expanding the view normally, but since the rewriter runs before the planner does inheritance expansion, it would take some very fundamental refactoring to make that possible. There are probably a lot of other parts of the system that don't cope well with such a situation, too. For now, just forbid it. Per bug #16856 from Yang Lin. Back-patch to all supported branches. (In versions before v10, this includes back-patching the portion of commit 501ed02cf that added has_superclass(). Perhaps the lack of that infrastructure partially explains the missing check.)

2021-02-05Fix backslash-escaping multibyte chars in COPY FROM.Heikki Linnakangas
If a multi-byte character is escaped with a backslash in TEXT mode input, and the encoding is one of the client-only encodings where the bytes after the first one can have an ASCII byte "embedded" in the char, we didn't skip the character correctly. After a backslash, we only skipped the first byte of the next character, so if it was a multi-byte character, we would try to process its second byte as if it was a separate character. If it was one of the characters with special meaning, like '\n', '\r', or another '\\', that would cause trouble. One such exmple is the byte sequence '\x5ca45c2e666f6f' in Big5 encoding. That's supposed to be [backslash][two-byte character][.][f][o][o], but because the second byte of the two-byte character is 0x5c, we incorrectly treat it as another backslash. And because the next character is a dot, we parse it as end-of-copy marker, and throw an "end-of-copy marker corrupt" error. Backpatch to all supported versions.

2021-01-26Code review for psql's helpSQL() function.Tom Lane
The loops to identify word boundaries could access past the end of the input string. Likely that would never result in an actual crash, but it makes valgrind unhappy. The logic to try different numbers of words didn't work when the input has two words but we only have a match to the first, eg "\h with select". (We must "continue" the pass loop, not "break".) The logic to compute nl_count was bizarrely managed, and in at least two code paths could end up calling PageOutput with nl_count = 0, resulting in failing to paginate output that should have been fed to the pager. Also, in v12 and up, the nl_count calculation hadn't been updated to account for the addition of a URL. The PQExpBuffer holding the command syntax details wasn't freed, resulting in a session-lifespan memory leak.

2021-01-25Fix hypothetical bug in heap backward scansDavid Rowley
Both heapgettup() and heapgettup_pagemode() incorrectly set the first page to scan in a backward scan in which the number of pages to scan was specified by heap_setscanlimits(). The code incorrectly started the scan at the end of the relation when startBlk was 0, or otherwise at startBlk - 1, neither of which is correct when only scanning a subset of pages. The fix here checks if heap_setscanlimits() has changed the number of pages to scan and if so we set the first page to scan as the final page in the specified range during backward scans. Proper adjustment of this code was forgotten when heap_setscanlimits() was added in 7516f5259 back in 9.5. However, practice, nowhere in core code performs backward scans after having used heap_setscanlimits(), yet, it is possible an extension uses the heap functions in this way, hence backpatch. An upcoming patch does use heap_setscanlimits() with backward scans, so this must be fixed before that can go in.

2021-01-19Remove faulty support for MergeAppend plan with WHERE CURRENT OF.Tom Lane
Somebody extended search_plan_tree() to treat MergeAppend exactly like Append, which is 100% wrong, because unlike Append we can't assume that only one input node is actively returning tuples. Hence a cursor using a MergeAppend across a UNION ALL or inheritance tree could falsely match a WHERE CURRENT OF query at a row that isn't actually the cursor's current output row, but coincidentally has the same TID (in a different table) as the current output row. Delete the faulty code; this means that such a case will now return an error like 'cursor "foo" is not a simply updatable scan of table "bar"', instead of silently misbehaving. Users should not find that surprising though, as the same cursor query could have failed that way already depending on the chosen plan. (It would fail like that if the sort were done with an explicit Sort node instead of MergeAppend.)

This is demonstrably untrue for postgres_fdw's remote join and remote aggregation plans, and non-leaf custom scans might not have an identifiable scan relation either. Avoid crashing by ignoring such nodes when the field is null. This solution will lead to errors like 'cursor "foo" is not a simply updatable scan of table "bar"' in cases where maybe we could have allowed WHERE CURRENT OF to work. That's not an issue for postgres_fdw's usages, since joins or aggregations would render WHERE CURRENT OF invalid anyway. But an otherwise-transparent upper level custom scan node might find this annoying.

2021-01-15Improve our heuristic for selecting PG_SYSROOT on macOS.Tom Lane
In cases where Xcode is newer than the underlying macOS version, asking xcodebuild for the SDK path will produce a pointer to the SDK shipped with Xcode, which may end up building code that does not work on the underlying macOS version. It appears that in such cases, xcodebuild's answer also fails to match the default behavior of Apple's compiler: assuming one has installed Xcode's "command line tools", there will be an SDK for the OS's own version in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools, and the compiler will default to using that. This is all pretty poorly documented, but experimentation suggests that "xcrun --show-sdk-path" gives the sysroot path that the compiler is actually using, at least in some cases. Hence, try that first, but revert to xcodebuild if xcrun fails (in very old Xcode, it is missing or lacks the --show-sdk-path switch). Also, "xcrun --show-sdk-path" may give a path that is valid but lacks any OS version identifier. We don't really want that, since most of the motivation for wiring -isysroot into the build flags at all is to ensure that all parts of a PG installation are built against the same SDK, even when considering extensions built later and/or on a different machine. Insist on finding "N.N" in the directory name before accepting the result. (Adding "--sdk macosx" to the xcrun call seems to produce the same answer as xcodebuild, but usually more quickly because it's cached, so we also try that as a fallback.) The core reason why we don't want to use Xcode's default SDK in cases like this is that Apple's technology for introducing new syscalls does not play nice with Autoconf: for example, configure will think that preadv/pwritev exist when using a Big Sur SDK, even when building on an older macOS version where they don't exist. It'd be nice to have a better solution to that problem, but this patch doesn't attempt to fix that. Per report from Sergey Shinderuk. Back-patch to all supported versions.

2021-01-08Fix ancient bug in parsing of BRE-mode regular expressions.Tom Lane
brenext(), when parsing a '*' quantifier, forgot to return any "value" for the token; per the equivalent case in next(), it should return value 1 to indicate that greedy rather than non-greedy behavior is wanted. The result is that the compiled regexp could behave like 'x*?' rather than the intended 'x*', if we were unlucky enough to have a zero in v->nextvalue at this point. That seems to happen with some reliability if we have '.*' at the beginning of a BRE-mode regexp, although that depends on the initial contents of a stack-allocated struct, so it's not guaranteed to fail. Found by Alexander Lakhin using valgrind testing. This bug seems to be aboriginal in Spencer's code, so back-patch all the way. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16814-6c5e3edd2bdf0d50@postgresql.org
2021-01-07Further second thoughts about idle_session_timeout patch.Tom Lane
On reflection, the order of operations in PostgresMain() is wrong. These timeouts ought to be shut down before, not after, we do the post-command-read CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS, to guarantee that any timeout error will be detected there rather than at some ill-defined later point (possibly after having wasted a lot of work). This is really an error in the original idle_in_transaction_timeout patch, so back-patch to 9.6 where that was introduced.
2021-01-06Detect the deadlocks between backends and the startup process.Fujii Masao
The deadlocks that the recovery conflict on lock is involved in can happen between hot-standby backends and the startup process. If a backend takes an access exclusive lock on the table and which finally triggers the deadlock, that deadlock can be detected as expected. On the other hand, previously, if the startup process took an access exclusive lock and which finally triggered the deadlock, that deadlock could not be detected and could remain even after deadlock_timeout passed. This is a bug. The cause of this bug was that the code for handling the recovery conflict on lock didn't take care of deadlock case at all. It assumed that deadlocks involving the startup process and backends were able to be detected by the deadlock detector invoked within backends. But this assumption was incorrect. The startup process also should have invoked the deadlock detector if necessary. To fix this bug, this commit makes the startup process invoke the deadlock detector if deadlock_timeout is reached while handling the recovery conflict on lock. Specifically, in that case, the startup process requests all the backends holding the conflicting locks to check themselves for deadlocks. Back-patch to v9.6. v9.5 has also this bug, but per discussion we decided not to back-patch the fix to v9.5. Because v9.5 doesn't have some infrastructure codes (e.g., 37c54863cf) that this bug fix patch depends on. We can apply those codes for the back-patch, but since the next minor version release is the final one for v9.5, it's risky to do that. If we unexpectedly introduce new bug to v9.5 by the back-patch, there is no chance to fix that. We determined that the back-patch to v9.5 would give more risk than gain.

2021-01-05Add an explicit cast to double when using fabs().Dean Rasheed
Commit bc43b7c2c0 used fabs() directly on an int variable, which apparently requires an explicit cast on some platforms. Per buildfarm.
2021-01-05Fix numeric_power() when the exponent is INT_MIN.Dean Rasheed
In power_var_int(), the computation of the number of significant digits to use in the computation used log(Abs(exp)), which isn't safe because Abs(exp) returns INT_MIN when exp is INT_MIN. Use fabs() instead of Abs(), so that the exponent is cast to a double before the absolute value is taken. Back-patch to 9.6, where this was introduced (by 7d9a4737c2).

2020-12-28Fix inconsistent code with shared invalidations of snapshotsMichael Paquier
The code in charge of processing a single invalidation message has been using since 568d413 the structure for relation mapping messages. This had fortunately no consequence as both locate the database ID at the same location, but it could become a problem in the future if this area of the code changes.

2020-12-23Fix portability issues with parsing of recovery_target_xidMichael Paquier
The parsing of this parameter has been using strtoul(), which is not portable across platforms. On most Unix platforms, unsigned long has a size of 64 bits, while on Windows it is 32 bits. It is common in recovery scenarios to rely on the output of txid_current() or even the newer pg_current_xact_id() to get a transaction ID for setting up recovery_target_xid. The value returned by those functions includes the epoch in the computed result, which would cause strtoul() to fail where unsigned long has a size of 32 bits once the epoch is incremented. WAL records and 2PC data include only information about 32-bit XIDs and it is not possible to have XIDs across more than one epoch, so discarding the high bits from the transaction ID set has no impact on recovery. On the contrary, the use of strtoul() prevents a consistent behavior across platforms depending on the size of unsigned long. This commit changes the parsing of recovery_target_xid to use pg_strtouint64() instead, available down to 9.6. There is one TAP test stressing recovery with recovery_target_xid, where a tweak based on pg_reset{xlog,wal} is added to bump the XID epoch so as this change gets tested, as per an idea from Alexander Lakhin.

2020-12-21Remove "invalid concatenation of jsonb objects" error case.Tom Lane
The jsonb || jsonb operator arbitrarily rejected certain combinations of scalar and non-scalar inputs, while being willing to concatenate other combinations. This was of course quite undocumented. Rather than trying to document it, let's just remove the restriction, creating a uniform rule that unless we are handling an object-to-object concatenation, non-array inputs are converted to one-element arrays, resulting in an array-to-array concatenation. (This does not change the behavior for any case that didn't throw an error before.) Per complaint from Joel Jacobson. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2020-12-18Avoid memcpy() with same source and destination during relmapper init.Tom Lane
A narrow reading of the C standard says that memcpy(x,x,n) is undefined, although it's hard to envision an implementation that would really misbehave. However, analysis tools such as valgrind might whine about this; accordingly, let's band-aid relmapper.c to not do it. See also 5b630501e, d3f4e8a8a, ad7b48ea0, and other similar fixes. Apparently, none of those folk tried valgrinding initdb? This has been like this for long enough that I'm surprised it hasn't been reported before. Back-patch, just in case anybody wants to use a back branch on a platform that complains about this; we back-patched those earlier fixes too.
