2014-02-24Update and clarify ssl_ciphers defaultPeter Eisentraut
- Write HIGH:MEDIUM instead of DEFAULT:!LOW:!EXP for clarity. - Order 3DES last to work around inappropriate OpenSSL default. - Remove !MD5 and @STRENGTH, because they are irrelevant. - Add clarifying documentation. Effectively, the new default is almost the same as the old one, but it is arguably easier to understand and modify. Author: Marko Kreen <markokr@gmail.com>

2014-02-24docs: document behavior of CHAR() comparisons with chars < spaceBruce Momjian
Space trimming rather than space-padding causes unusual behavior, which might not be standards-compliant. Also remove recently-added now-redundant C comment.

2014-02-24Remove a couple of comments from the pg_lsn regression test.Robert Haas

2014-02-23Prefer pg_any_to_server/pg_server_to_any over pg_do_encoding_conversion.Tom Lane
A large majority of the callers of pg_do_encoding_conversion were specifying the database encoding as either source or target of the conversion, meaning that we can use the less general functions pg_any_to_server/pg_server_to_any instead. The main advantage of using the latter functions is that they can make use of a cached conversion-function lookup in the common case that the other encoding is the current client_encoding. It's notationally cleaner too in most cases, not least because of the historical artifact that the latter functions use "char *" rather than "unsigned char *" in their APIs. Note that pg_any_to_server will apply an encoding verification step in some cases where pg_do_encoding_conversion would have just done nothing. This seems to me to be a good idea at most of these call sites, though it partially negates the performance benefit. Per discussion of bug #9210.
2014-02-23Plug some more holes in encoding conversion.Tom Lane
Various places assume that pg_do_encoding_conversion() and pg_server_to_any() will ensure encoding validity of their results; but they failed to do so in the case that the source encoding is SQL_ASCII while the destination is not. We cannot perform any actual "conversion" in that scenario, but we should still validate the string according to the destination encoding. Per bug #9210 from Digoal Zhou. Arguably this is a back-patchable bug fix, but on the other hand adding more enforcing of encoding checks might break existing applications that were being sloppy. On balance there doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm for a back-patch, so fix in HEAD only. While at it, remove some apparently-no-longer-needed provisions for letting pg_do_encoding_conversion() "work" outside a transaction --- if you consider it "working" to silently fail to do the requested conversion. Also, make a few cosmetic improvements in mbutils.c, notably removing some Asserts that are certainly dead code since the variables they assert aren't null are never null, even at process start. (I think this wasn't true at one time, but it is now.)
2014-02-22pg_basebackup: Add support for relocating tablespacesPeter Eisentraut

2014-02-21Do ScalarArrayOp estimation correctly when array is a stable expression.Tom Lane
Most estimation functions apply estimate_expression_value to see if they can reduce an expression to a constant; the key difference is that it allows evaluation of stable as well as immutable functions in hopes of ending up with a simple Const node. scalararraysel didn't get the memo though, and neither did gincost_opexpr/gincost_scalararrayopexpr. Fix that, and remove a now-unnecessary estimate_expression_value step in the subsidiary function scalararraysel_containment. Per complaint from Alexey Klyukin. Back-patch to 9.3. The problem goes back further, but I'm hesitant to change estimation behavior in long-stable release branches.

There was an extra space there, and "fixed" wasn't very descriptive.

Looks like this gets added later ...
2014-02-19Avoid using dllwrap to build pgevent in Mingw builds.Tom Lane
If this works, we can get rid of configure's support for locating dllwrap ... but let's see what the buildfarm says, first. Hiroshi Inoue
2014-02-19Fix some missing .gitignore and "make clean" items in ecpg.Tom Lane
Some of the files we optionally link in from elsewhere weren't ignored and/or weren't cleaned up at "make clean". Noted while testing on a machine that needs our version of snprintf.c.
2014-02-19Switch various builtin functions to use pg_lsn instead of text.Robert Haas
The functions in slotfuncs.c don't exist in any released version, but the changes to xlogfuncs.c represent backward-incompatibilities. Per discussion, we're hoping that the queries using these functions are few enough and simple enough that this won't cause too much breakage for users. Michael Paquier, reviewed by Andres Freund and further modified by me.
2014-02-19Further code review for pg_lsn data type.Robert Haas
Change input function error messages to be more consistent with what is done elsewhere. Remove a bunch of redundant type casts, so that the compiler will warn us if we screw up. Don't pass LSNs by value on platforms where a Datum is only 32 bytes, per buildfarm. Move macros for packing and unpacking LSNs to pg_lsn.h so that we can include access/xlogdefs.h, to avoid an unsatisfied dependency on XLogRecPtr.
2014-02-19pg_lsn macro naming and type behavior revisions.Robert Haas
Change pg_lsn_mi so that it can return negative values when subtracting LSNs, and clean up some perhaps ill-considered macro names.

2014-02-18Remove broken code that tried to handle OVERLAPS with a single argument.Tom Lane
The SQL standard says that OVERLAPS should have a two-element row constructor on each side. The original coding of OVERLAPS support in our grammar attempted to extend that by allowing a single-element row constructor, which it internally duplicated ... or tried to, anyway. But that code has certainly not worked since our List infrastructure was rewritten in 2004, and I'm none too sure it worked before that. As it stands, it ends up building a List that includes itself, leading to assorted undesirable behaviors later in the parser. Even if it worked as intended, it'd be a bit evil because of the possibility of duplicate evaluation of a volatile function that the user had written only once. Given the lack of documentation, test cases, or complaints, let's just get rid of the idea and only support the standard syntax. While we're at it, improve the error cursor positioning for the wrong-number-of-arguments errors, and inline the makeOverlaps() function since it's only called in one place anyway. Per bug #9227 from Joshua Yanovski. Initial patch by Joshua Yanovski, extended a bit by me.

2014-02-17Prevent potential overruns of fixed-size buffers.Tom Lane
Coverity identified a number of places in which it couldn't prove that a string being copied into a fixed-size buffer would fit. We believe that most, perhaps all of these are in fact safe, or are copying data that is coming from a trusted source so that any overrun is not really a security issue. Nonetheless it seems prudent to forestall any risk by using strlcpy() and similar functions. Fixes by Peter Eisentraut and Jozef Mlich based on Coverity reports. In addition, fix a potential null-pointer-dereference crash in contrib/chkpass. The crypt(3) function is defined to return NULL on failure, but chkpass.c didn't check for that before using the result. The main practical case in which this could be an issue is if libc is configured to refuse to execute unapproved hashing algorithms (e.g., "FIPS mode"). This ideally should've been a separate commit, but since it touches code adjacent to one of the buffer overrun changes, I included it in this commit to avoid last-minute merge issues. This issue was reported by Honza Horak. Security: CVE-2014-0065 for buffer overruns, CVE-2014-0066 for crypt()
2014-02-17Predict integer overflow to avoid buffer overruns.Noah Misch
Several functions, mostly type input functions, calculated an allocation size such that the calculation wrapped to a small positive value when arguments implied a sufficiently-large requirement. Writes past the end of the inadvertent small allocation followed shortly thereafter. Coverity identified the path_in() vulnerability; code inspection led to the rest. In passing, add check_stack_depth() to prevent stack overflow in related functions. Back-patch to 8.4 (all supported versions). The non-comment hstore changes touch code that did not exist in 8.4, so that part stops at 9.0. Noah Misch and Heikki Linnakangas, reviewed by Tom Lane. Security: CVE-2014-0064
2014-02-17Fix handling of wide datetime input/output.Noah Misch
Many server functions use the MAXDATELEN constant to size a buffer for parsing or displaying a datetime value. It was much too small for the longest possible interval output and slightly too small for certain valid timestamp input, particularly input with a long timezone name. The long input was rejected needlessly; the long output caused interval_out() to overrun its buffer. ECPG's pgtypes library has a copy of the vulnerable functions, which bore the same vulnerabilities along with some of its own. In contrast to the server, certain long inputs caused stack overflow rather than failing cleanly. Back-patch to 8.4 (all supported versions). Reported by Daniel Schüssler, reviewed by Tom Lane. Security: CVE-2014-0063
2014-02-17Avoid repeated name lookups during table and index DDL.Robert Haas
If the name lookups come to different conclusions due to concurrent activity, we might perform some parts of the DDL on a different table than other parts. At least in the case of CREATE INDEX, this can be used to cause the permissions checks to be performed against a different table than the index creation, allowing for a privilege escalation attack. This changes the calling convention for DefineIndex, CreateTrigger, transformIndexStmt, transformAlterTableStmt, CheckIndexCompatible (in 9.2 and newer), and AlterTable (in 9.1 and older). In addition, CheckRelationOwnership is removed in 9.2 and newer and the calling convention is changed in older branches. A field has also been added to the Constraint node (FkConstraint in 8.4). Third-party code calling these functions or using the Constraint node will require updating. Report by Andres Freund. Patch by Robert Haas and Andres Freund, reviewed by Tom Lane. Security: CVE-2014-0062
2014-02-17Prevent privilege escalation in explicit calls to PL validators.Noah Misch
The primary role of PL validators is to be called implicitly during CREATE FUNCTION, but they are also normal functions that a user can call explicitly. Add a permissions check to each validator to ensure that a user cannot use explicit validator calls to achieve things he could not otherwise achieve. Back-patch to 8.4 (all supported versions). Non-core procedural language extensions ought to make the same two-line change to their own validators. Andres Freund, reviewed by Tom Lane and Noah Misch. Security: CVE-2014-0061
2014-02-17Shore up ADMIN OPTION restrictions.Noah Misch
Granting a role without ADMIN OPTION is supposed to prevent the grantee from adding or removing members from the granted role. Issuing SET ROLE before the GRANT bypassed that, because the role itself had an implicit right to add or remove members. Plug that hole by recognizing that implicit right only when the session user matches the current role. Additionally, do not recognize it during a security-restricted operation or during execution of a SECURITY DEFINER function. The restriction on SECURITY DEFINER is not security-critical. However, it seems best for a user testing his own SECURITY DEFINER function to see the same behavior others will see. Back-patch to 8.4 (all supported versions). The SQL standards do not conflate roles and users as PostgreSQL does; only SQL roles have members, and only SQL users initiate sessions. An application using PostgreSQL users and roles as SQL users and roles will never attempt to grant membership in the role that is the session user, so the implicit right to add or remove members will never arise. The security impact was mostly that a role member could revoke access from others, contrary to the wishes of his own grantor. Unapproved role member additions are less notable, because the member can still largely achieve that by creating a view or a SECURITY DEFINER function. Reviewed by Andres Freund and Tom Lane. Reported, independently, by Jonas Sundman and Noah Misch. Security: CVE-2014-0060
2014-02-16PGDLLIMPORT-ify MainLWLockArray, ProcDiePending, proc_exit_inprogress.Tom Lane
These are needed in HEAD to make assorted contrib modules build on Windows. Now that all the MSVC and Mingw buildfarm members seem to be on the same page about the need for them, we can have some confidence that future problems of this ilk will be detected promptly; there seems nothing more to be learned by delaying this fix further. I chose to mark QueryCancelPending as well, since it's easy to imagine code that wants to touch ProcDiePending also caring about QueryCancelPending.

uid_t and gid_t might be wider than int on some platforms. Per buildfarm member brolga.
2014-02-16Revert to using --enable-auto-import in Cygwin builds.Tom Lane
Disabling auto-import requires that all libraries we use be careful about declspecs for exported variables; and it seems they aren't. This means that Cygwin will not give us useful info about missing PGDLLIMPORT markers; but it's probably sufficient that MSVC and Mingw builds do.
2014-02-16PGDLLIMPORT'ify DateStyle and IntervalStyle.Tom Lane
This is needed on Windows to support contrib/postgres_fdw. Although it's been broken since last March, we didn't notice until recently because there were no active buildfarm members that complained about missing PGDLLIMPORT marking. Efforts are underway to improve that situation, in support of which we're delaying fixing some other cases of global variables that should be marked PGDLLIMPORT. However, this case affects 9.3, so we can't wait any longer to fix it. I chose to mark DateOrder as well, though it's not strictly necessary for postgres_fdw.

Still another step in the continuing saga of trying to get --disable-auto-import to work. Hiroshi Inoue
2014-02-15Fix unportable coding in BackgroundWorkerStateChange().Tom Lane
PIDs aren't necessarily ints; our usual practice for printing them is to explicitly cast to long. Per buildfarm member rover_firefly.
2014-02-15Fix unportable coding in DetermineSleepTime().Tom Lane
We should not assume that struct timeval.tv_sec is a long, because it ain't necessarily. (POSIX says that it's a time_t, which might well be 64 bits now or in the future; or for that matter might be 32 bits on machines with 64-bit longs.) Per buildfarm member panther. Back-patch to 9.3 where the dubious coding was introduced.
2014-02-15Centralize getopt-related declarations in a new header file pg_getopt.h.Tom Lane
We used to have externs for getopt() and its API variables scattered all over the place. Now that we find we're going to need to tweak the variable declarations for Cygwin, it seems like a good idea to have just one place to tweak. In this commit, the variables are declared "#ifndef HAVE_GETOPT_H". That may or may not work everywhere, but we'll soon find out. Andres Freund

2014-02-14Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2013i.Tom Lane
DST law changes in Jordan; historical changes in Cuba. Also, remove the zones Asia/Riyadh87, Asia/Riyadh88, and Asia/Riyadh89. Per the upstream announcement: The files solar87, solar88, and solar89 are no longer distributed. They were a negative experiment -- that is, a demonstration that tz data can represent solar time only with some difficulty and error. Their presence in the distribution caused confusion, as Riyadh civil time was generally not solar time in those years.

2014-02-14In mingw builds, make our own import library for libperl.Tom Lane
Borrow the method already used by plpython. This is pretty ugly, but it might fix the build failure exhibited by buildfarm member narwhal since commit 846e91e0223cf9f2821c3ad4dfffffbb929cb027. Hiroshi Inoue
2014-02-14Cosmetic improvements in plpython's make rule for libpython import library.Tom Lane
This build technique is remarkably ugly, but that doesn't mean it has to be unreadable too. Be a bit more liberal with the vertical whitespace, and give the .def file a proper dependency, just in case.
2014-02-14Change the order that pg_xlog and WAL archive are polled for WAL segments.Heikki Linnakangas
If there is a WAL segment with same ID but different TLI present in both the WAL archive and pg_xlog, prefer the one with higher TLI. Before this patch, the archive was polled first, for all expected TLIs, and only if no file was found was pg_xlog scanned. This was a change in behavior from 9.3, which first scanned archive and pg_xlog for the highest TLI, then archive and pg_xlog for the next highest TLI and so forth. This patch reverts the behavior back to what it was in 9.2. The reason for this is that if for example you try to do archive recovery to timeline 2, which branched off timeline 1, but the WAL for timeline 2 is not archived yet, we would replay past the timeline switch point on timeline 1 using the archived files, before even looking timeline 2's files in pg_xlog Report and patch by Kyotaro Horiguchi. Backpatch to 9.3 where the behavior was changed.

2014-02-13Clean up error cases in psql's COPY TO STDOUT/FROM STDIN code.Tom Lane
Adjust handleCopyOut() to stop trying to write data once it's failed one time. For typical cases such as out-of-disk-space or broken-pipe, additional attempts aren't going to do anything but waste time, and in any case clean truncation of the output seems like a better behavior than randomly dropping blocks in the middle. Also remove dubious (and misleadingly documented) attempt to force our way out of COPY_OUT state if libpq didn't do that. If we did have a situation like that, it'd be a bug in libpq and would be better fixed there, IMO. We can hope that commit fa4440f51628d692f077d54b8313aea31af087ea took care of any such problems, anyway. Also fix longstanding bug in handleCopyIn(): PQputCopyEnd() only supports a non-null errormsg parameter in protocol version 3, and will actively fail if one is passed in version 2. This would've made our attempts to get out of COPY_IN state after a failure into infinite loops when talking to pre-7.4 servers. Back-patch the COPY_OUT state change business back to 9.2 where it was introduced, and the other two fixes into all supported branches.
