2017-05-17Make psql handle EOF during COPY FROM STDIN properly on all platforms.Tom Lane
When stdin is a terminal, it's possible to end a COPY FROM STDIN with a keyboard EOF signal (typically control-D), and then keep on issuing SQL commands. One would expect another COPY FROM STDIN to work as well, but on some platforms it did not. This turns out to be because we were not resetting the stream's feof() flag, and BSD-ish versions of fread() and fgets() won't attempt to read more data if that's set. The misbehavior is observed on BSDen (including macOS), but not Linux, Windows, or SysV-ish Unixen, which makes this a portability bug not just a missing feature. Add a clearerr() call to fix the behavior, and improve the prompt that's issued when copying from a TTY to mention that EOF signals work. It's been like this forever, so back-patch to all supported branches. Thomas Munro Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAEepm=0MCGfYf=JAMiYhO6JPtv9-3ZfBo8fcGeCZ8oMzaw+Z+Q@mail.gmail.com

2017-05-08Further patch rangetypes_selfuncs.c's statistics slot management.Tom Lane
Values in a STATISTIC_KIND_RANGE_LENGTH_HISTOGRAM slot are float8, not of the type of the column the statistics are for. This bug is at least partly the fault of sloppy specification comments for get_attstatsslot()/free_attstatsslot(): the type OID they want is that of the stavalues entries, not of the underlying column. (I double-checked other callers and they seem to get this right.) Adjust the comments to be more correct. Per buildfarm. Security: CVE-2017-7484

2017-05-08Match pg_user_mappings limits to information_schema.user_mapping_options.Noah Misch
Both views replace the umoptions field with NULL when the user does not meet qualifications to see it. They used different qualifications, and pg_user_mappings documented qualifications did not match its implemented qualifications. Make its documentation and implementation match those of user_mapping_options. One might argue for stronger qualifications, but these have long, documented tenure. pg_user_mappings has always exhibited this problem, so back-patch to 9.2 (all supported versions).

2017-05-08Restore PGREQUIRESSL recognition in libpq.Noah Misch
Commit 65c3bf19fd3e1f6a591618e92eb4c54d0b217564 moved handling of the, already then, deprecated requiressl parameter into conninfo_storeval(). The default PGREQUIRESSL environment variable was however lost in the change resulting in a potentially silent accept of a non-SSL connection even when set. Its documentation remained. Restore its implementation. Also amend the documentation to mark PGREQUIRESSL as deprecated for those not following the link to requiressl. Back-patch to 9.3, where commit 65c3bf1 first appeared. Behavior has been more complex when the user provides both deprecated and non-deprecated settings. Before commit 65c3bf1, libpq operated according to the first of these found: requiressl=1 PGREQUIRESSL=1 sslmode=* PGSSLMODE=* (Note requiressl=0 didn't override sslmode=*; it would only suppress PGREQUIRESSL=1 or a previous requiressl=1. PGREQUIRESSL=0 had no effect whatsoever.) Starting with commit 65c3bf1, libpq ignored PGREQUIRESSL, and order of precedence changed to this: last of requiressl=* or sslmode=* PGSSLMODE=* Starting now, adopt the following order of precedence: last of requiressl=* or sslmode=* PGSSLMODE=* PGREQUIRESSL=1 This retains the 65c3bf1 behavior for connection strings that contain both requiressl=* and sslmode=*. It retains the 65c3bf1 change that either connection string option overrides both environment variables. For the first time, PGSSLMODE has precedence over PGREQUIRESSL; this avoids reducing security of "PGREQUIRESSL=1 PGSSLMODE=verify-full" configurations originating under v9.3 and later.

2017-05-08Add security checks to selectivity estimation functionsPeter Eisentraut
Some selectivity estimation functions run user-supplied operators over data obtained from pg_statistic without security checks, which allows those operators to leak pg_statistic data without having privileges on the underlying tables. Fix by checking that one of the following is satisfied: (1) the user has table or column privileges on the table underlying the pg_statistic data, or (2) the function implementing the user-supplied operator is leak-proof. If neither is satisfied, planning will proceed as if there are no statistics available. At least one of these is satisfied in most cases in practice. The only situations that are negatively impacted are user-defined or not-leak-proof operators on a security-barrier view.

2017-05-07Guard against null t->tm_zone in strftime.c.Tom Lane
The upstream IANA code does not guard against null TM_ZONE pointers in this function, but in our code there is such a check in the other pre-existing use of t->tm_zone. We do have some places that set pg_tm.tm_zone to NULL. I'm not entirely sure it's possible to reach strftime with such a value, but I'm not sure it isn't either, so be safe. Per Coverity complaint.
2017-05-07Install the "posixrules" timezone link in MSVC builds.Tom Lane
Somehow, we'd missed ever doing this. The consequences aren't too severe: basically, the timezone library would fall back on its hardwired notion of the DST transition dates to use for a POSIX-style zone name, rather than obeying US/Eastern which is the intended behavior. The net effect would only be to obey current US DST law further back than it ought to apply; so it's not real surprising that nobody noticed.

Fix oversight in commit af2c5aa88: if the shortcut open() doesn't work, we need to reset fullname[] to be just the name of the toplevel tzdata directory before we fall through into the pre-existing code. This failed to be exposed in my (tgl's) testing because the fall-through path is actually never taken under normal circumstances.

2017-05-03Remove useless and rather expensive stanza in matview regression test.Tom Lane
This removes a test case added by commit b69ec7cc9, which was intended to exercise a corner case involving the rule used at that time that materialized views were unpopulated iff they had physical size zero. We got rid of that rule very shortly later, in commit 1d6c72a55, but kept the test case. However, because the case now asks what VACUUM will do to a zero-sized physical file, it would be pretty surprising if the answer were ever anything but "nothing" ... and if things were indeed that broken, surely we'd find it out from other tests. Since the test involves a table that's fairly large by regression-test standards (100K rows), it's quite slow to run. Dropping it should save some buildfarm cycles, so let's do that.

2017-05-02Improve performance of timezone loading, especially pg_timezone_names view.Tom Lane
tzparse() would attempt to load the "posixrules" timezone database file on each call. That might seem like it would only be an issue when selecting a POSIX-style zone name rather than a zone defined in the timezone database, but it turns out that each zone definition file contains a POSIX-style zone string and tzload() will call tzparse() to parse that. Thus, when scanning the whole timezone file tree as we do in the pg_timezone_names view, "posixrules" was read repetitively for each zone definition file. Fix that by caching the file on first use within any given process. (We cache other zone definitions for the life of the process, so there seems little reason not to cache this one as well.) This probably won't help much in processes that never run pg_timezone_names, but even one additional SET of the timezone GUC would come out ahead. An even worse problem for pg_timezone_names is that pg_open_tzfile() has an inefficient way of identifying the canonical case of a zone name: it basically re-descends the directory tree to the zone file. That's not awful for an individual "SET timezone" operation, but it's pretty horrid when we're inspecting every zone in the database. And it's pointless too because we already know the canonical spelling, having just read it from the filesystem. Fix by teaching pg_open_tzfile() to avoid the directory search if it's not asked for the canonical name, and backfilling the proper result in pg_tzenumerate_next(). In combination these changes seem to make the pg_timezone_names view about 3x faster to read, for me. Since a scan of pg_timezone_names has up to now been one of the slowest queries in the regression tests, this should help some little bit for buildfarm cycle times. Back-patch to all supported branches, not so much because it's likely that users will care much about the view's performance as because tracking changes in the upstream IANA timezone code is really painful if we don't keep all the branches in sync.

2017-05-02Ensure commands in extension scripts see the results of preceding DDL.Tom Lane

2017-05-01Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2017b.Tom Lane
DST law changes in Chile, Haiti, and Mongolia. Historical corrections for Ecuador, Kazakhstan, Liberia, and Spain. The IANA crew continue their campaign to replace invented time zone abbrevations with numeric GMT offsets. This update changes numerous zones in South America, the Pacific and Indian oceans, and some Asian and Middle Eastern zones. I kept these abbreviations in the tznames/ data files, however, so that we will still accept them for input. (We may want to start trimming those files someday, but I think we should wait for the upstream dust to settle before deciding what to do.) In passing, add MESZ (Mitteleuropaeische Sommerzeit) to the tznames lists; since we accept MEZ (Mitteleuropaeische Zeit) it seems rather strange not to take the other one. And fix some incorrect, or at least obsolete, comments that certain abbreviations are not traceable to the IANA data.

There are assorted cosmetic changes as well, notably relocation of a bunch of #defines.
2017-04-28Fix VALIDATE CONSTRAINT to consider NO INHERIT attribute.Robert Haas

2017-04-23Fix order of arguments to SubTransSetParent().Tom Lane
ProcessTwoPhaseBuffer (formerly StandbyRecoverPreparedTransactions) mixed up the parent and child XIDs when calling SubTransSetParent to record the transactions' relationship in pg_subtrans. Remarkably, analysis by Simon Riggs suggests that this doesn't lead to visible problems (at least, not in non-Assert builds). That might explain why we'd not noticed it before.

2017-04-21Avoid depending on non-POSIX behavior of fcntl(2).Tom Lane
The POSIX standard does not say that the success return value for fcntl(F_SETFD) and fcntl(F_SETFL) is zero; it says only that it's not -1. We had several calls that were making the stronger assumption. Adjust them to test specifically for -1 for strict spec compliance. The standard further leaves open the possibility that the O_NONBLOCK flag bit is not the only active one in F_SETFL's argument. Formally, therefore, one ought to get the current flags with F_GETFL and store them back with only the O_NONBLOCK bit changed when trying to change the nonblock state. In port/noblock.c, we were doing the full pushup in pg_set_block but not in pg_set_noblock, which is just weird. Make both of them do it properly, since they have little business making any assumptions about the socket they're handed. The other places where we're issuing F_SETFL are working with FDs we just got from pipe(2), so it's reasonable to assume the FDs' properties are all default, so I didn't bother adding F_GETFL steps there. Also, while pg_set_block deserves some points for trying to do things right, somebody had decided that it'd be even better to cast fcntl's third argument to "long". Which is completely loony, because POSIX clearly says the third argument for an F_SETFL call is "int". Given the lack of field complaints, these missteps apparently are not of significance on any common platforms. But they're still wrong, so back-patch to all supported branches.

We had foreseen doing this once the code was proven, but that never did happen, probably because we got sufficiently fed up with renegotiation to disable it by default.

2017-04-15Provide a way to control SysV shmem attach address in EXEC_BACKEND builds.Tom Lane
In standard non-Windows builds, there's no particular reason to care what address the kernel chooses to map the shared memory segment at. However, when building with EXEC_BACKEND, there's a risk that the chosen address won't be available in all child processes. Linux with ASLR enabled (which it is by default) seems particularly at risk because it puts shmem segments into the same area where it maps shared libraries. We can work around that by specifying a mapping address that's outside the range where shared libraries could get mapped. On x86_64 Linux, 0x7e0000000000 seems to work well. This is only meant for testing/debugging purposes, so it doesn't seem necessary to go as far as providing a GUC (or any user-visible documentation, though we might change that later). Instead, it's just controlled by setting an environment variable PG_SHMEM_ADDR to the desired attach address. Back-patch to all supported branches, since the point here is to remove intermittent buildfarm failures on EXEC_BACKEND animals. Owners of affected animals will need to add a suitable setting of PG_SHMEM_ADDR to their build_env configuration. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/7036.1492231361@sss.pgh.pa.us
2017-04-13Fix regexport.c to behave sanely with lookaround constraints.Tom Lane
regexport.c thought it could just ignore LACON arcs, but the correct behavior is to treat them as satisfiable while consuming zero input (rather reminiscently of commit 9f1e642d5). Otherwise, the emitted simplified-NFA representation may contain no paths leading from initial to final state, which unsurprisingly confuses pg_trgm, as seen in bug #14623 from Jeff Janes. Since regexport's output representation has no concept of an arc that consumes zero input, recurse internally to find the next normal arc(s) after any LACON transitions. We'd be forced into changing that representation if a LACON could be the last arc reaching the final state, but fortunately the regex library never builds NFAs with such a configuration, so there always is a next normal arc. Back-patch to 9.3 where this logic was introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170413180503.25948.94871@wrigleys.postgresql.org
2017-04-10Improve castNode notation by introducing list-extraction-specific variants.Tom Lane
This extends the castNode() notation introduced by commit 5bcab1114 to provide, in one step, extraction of a list cell's pointer and coercion to a concrete node type. For example, "lfirst_node(Foo, lc)" is the same as "castNode(Foo, lfirst(lc))". Almost half of the uses of castNode that have appeared so far include a list extraction call, so this is pretty widely useful, and it saves a few more keystrokes compared to the old way. As with the previous patch, back-patch the addition of these macros to pg_list.h, so that the notation will be available when back-patching. Patch by me, after an idea of Andrew Gierth's.

2017-03-26Fix unportable disregard of alignment requirements in RADIUS code.Tom Lane
The compiler is entitled to store a char[] local variable with no particular alignment requirement. Our RADIUS code cavalierly took such a local variable and cast its address to a struct type that does have alignment requirements. On an alignment-picky machine this would lead to bus errors. To fix, declare the local variable honestly, and then cast its address to char * for use in the I/O calls. Given the lack of field complaints, there must be very few if any people affected; but nonetheless this is a clear portability issue, so back-patch to all supported branches. Noted while looking at a Coverity complaint in the same code.

If the process token contains SECURITY_SERVICE_RID, but it has been disabled by the SE_GROUP_USE_FOR_DENY_ONLY attribute, win32_is_service() would incorrectly report that we're running as a service. That situation arises, e.g. if postmaster is launched with a restricted security token, with the "Log in as Service" privilege explicitly removed. Replace the broken code with CheckProcessTokenMembership(), which does this correctly. Also replace similar code in win32_is_admin(), even though it got this right, for simplicity and consistency.

2017-03-13Remove unnecessary dependency on statement_timeout in prepared_xacts test.Tom Lane
Rather than waiting around for statement_timeout to expire, we can just try to take the table's lock in nowait mode. This saves some fraction under 4 seconds when running this test with prepared xacts available, and it guards against timeout-expired-anyway failures on very slow machines when prepared xacts are not available, as seen in a recent failure on axolotl for instance. This approach could fail if autovacuum were to take an exclusive lock on the test table concurrently, but there's no reason for it to do so. Since the main point here is to improve stability in the buildfarm, back-patch to all supported branches.

2017-03-10Sanitize newlines in object names in "pg_restore -l" output.Tom Lane
Commits 89e0bac86 et al replaced newlines with spaces in object names printed in SQL comments, but we neglected to consider that the same names are also printed by "pg_restore -l", and a newline would render the output unparseable by "pg_restore -L". Apply the same replacement in "-l" output. Since "pg_restore -L" doesn't actually examine any object names, only the dump ID field that starts each line, this is enough to fix things for its purposes. The previous fix was treated as a security issue, and we might have done that here as well, except that the issue was reported publicly to start with. Anyway it's hard to see how this could be exploited for SQL injection; "pg_restore -L" doesn't do much with the file except parse it for leading integers. Per bug #14587 from Milos Urbanek.

2017-03-09Fix timestamptz regression test to still work with latest IANA zone data.Tom Lane
The IANA timezone crew continues to chip away at their project of removing timezone abbreviations that have no real-world currency from their database. The tzdata2017a update removes all such abbreviations for South American zones, as well as much of the Pacific. This breaks some test cases in timestamptz.sql that were expecting America/Santiago and America/Caracas to have non-numeric abbreviations. The test cases involving America/Santiago seem to have selected that zone more or less at random, so just replace it with America/New_York, which is of similar longitude. The cases involving America/Caracas are harder since they were chosen to test a time-varying zone abbreviation around a point where it changed meaning in the backwards direction. Fortunately, Europe/Moscow has a similar case in 2014, and the MSK/MSD abbreviations are well enough attested that IANA seems unlikely to decide to remove them from the database in future. With these changes, this regression test should pass when using any IANA zone database from 2015 or later. One could wish that there were a few years more daylight on how out-of-date your zone database can be ... but really the --with-system-tzdata option is only meant for use on platforms where the zone database is kept up-to-date pretty faithfully, so I do not think this is a big objection.

2017-03-06Repair incorrect pg_dump labeling for some comments and security labels.Tom Lane
We attached no schema label to comments for procedural languages, casts, transforms, operator classes, operator families, or text search objects. The first three categories of objects don't really have schemas, but pg_dump treats them as if they do, and it seems like the TocEntry fields for their comments had better match the TocEntry fields for the parent objects. (As an example of a possible hazard, the type names in a CAST will be formatted with the assumption of a particular search_path, so failing to ensure that this same path is active for the COMMENT ON command could lead to an error or to attaching the comment to the wrong cast.) In the last six cases, this was a flat-out error --- possibly mine to begin with, but it was a long time ago. The security label for a procedural language was likewise not correctly labeled as to schema, and both the comment and security label for a procedural language were not correctly labeled as to owner. In simple cases the restore would accidentally work correctly anyway, since these comments and security labels would normally get emitted right after the owning object, and so the search path and active user would be correct anyhow. But it could fail in corner cases; for example a schema-selective restore would omit comments it should include. Giuseppe Broccolo noted the oversight, and proposed the correct fix, for text search dictionary objects; I found the rest by cross-checking other dumpComment() calls. These oversights are ancient, so back-patch all the way. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAFzmHiWwwzLjzwM4x5ki5s_PDMR6NrkipZkjNnO3B0xEpBgJaA@mail.gmail.com
2017-03-06pg_upgrade: Fix large object COMMENTS, SECURITY LABELSStephen Frost
When performing a pg_upgrade, we copy the files behind pg_largeobject and pg_largeobject_metadata, allowing us to avoid having to dump out and reload the actual data for large objects and their ACLs. Unfortunately, that isn't all of the information which can be associated with large objects. Currently, we also support COMMENTs and SECURITY LABELs with large objects and these were being silently dropped during a pg_upgrade as pg_dump would skip everything having to do with a large object and pg_upgrade only copied the tables mentioned to the new cluster. As the file copies happen after the catalog dump and reload, we can't simply include the COMMENTs and SECURITY LABELs in pg_dump's binary-mode output but we also have to include the actual large object definition as well. With the definition, comments, and security labels in the pg_dump output and the file copies performed by pg_upgrade, all of the data and metadata associated with large objects is able to be successfully pulled forward across a pg_upgrade. In 9.6 and master, we can simply adjust the dump bitmask to indicate which components we don't want. In 9.5 and earlier, we have to put explciit checks in in dumpBlob() and dumpBlobs() to not include the ACL or the data when in binary-upgrade mode. Adjustments made to the privileges regression test to allow another test (large_object.sql) to be added which explicitly leaves a large object with a comment in place to provide coverage of that case with pg_upgrade. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170221162655.GE9812@tamriel.snowman.net
2017-02-21Fix sloppy handling of corner-case errors in fd.c.Tom Lane
Several places in fd.c had badly-thought-through handling of error returns from lseek() and close(). The fact that those would seldom fail on valid FDs is probably the reason we've not noticed this up to now; but if they did fail, we'd get quite confused. LruDelete and LruInsert actually just Assert'd that lseek never fails, which is pretty awful on its face. In LruDelete, we indeed can't throw an error, because that's likely to get called during error abort and so throwing an error would probably just lead to an infinite loop. But by the same token, throwing an error from the close() right after that was ill-advised, not to mention that it would've left the LRU state corrupted since we'd already unlinked the VFD from the list. I also noticed that really, most of the time, we should know the current seek position and it shouldn't be necessary to do an lseek here at all. As patched, if we don't have a seek position and an lseek attempt doesn't give us one, we'll close the file but then subsequent re-open attempts will fail (except in the somewhat-unlikely case that a FileSeek(SEEK_SET) call comes between and allows us to re-establish a known target seek position). This isn't great but it won't result in any state corruption. Meanwhile, having an Assert instead of an honest test in LruInsert is really dangerous: if that lseek failed, a subsequent read or write would read or write from the start of the file, not where the caller expected, leading to data corruption. In both LruDelete and FileClose, if close() fails, just LOG that and mark the VFD closed anyway. Possibly leaking an FD is preferable to getting into an infinite loop or corrupting the VFD list. Besides, as far as I can tell from the POSIX spec, it's unspecified whether or not the file has been closed, so treating it as still open could be the wrong thing anyhow. I also fixed a number of other places that were being sloppy about behaving correctly when the seekPos is unknown. Also, I changed FileSeek to return -1 with EINVAL for the cases where it detects a bad offset, rather than throwing a hard elog(ERROR). It seemed pretty inconsistent that some bad-offset cases would get a failure return while others got elog(ERROR). It was missing an offset validity check for the SEEK_CUR case on a closed file, too. Back-patch to all supported branches, since all this code is fundamentally identical in all of them. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2982.1487617365@sss.pgh.pa.us
2017-02-19Make src/interfaces/libpq/test clean up after itself.Tom Lane
It failed to remove a .o file during "make clean", and it lacked a .gitignore file entirely.
2017-02-19Adjust PL/Tcl regression test to dodge a possible bug or zone dependency.Tom Lane
One case in the PL/Tcl tests is observed to fail on RHEL5 with a Turkish time zone setting. It's not clear if this is an old Tcl bug or something odd about the zone data, but in any case that test is meant to see if the Tcl [clock] command works at all, not what its corner-case behaviors are. Therefore we have no need to test exactly which week a Sunday midnight is considered to fall into. Probe the following Tuesday instead. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/797.1487517822@sss.pgh.pa.us
