Document risks of "make check" in the regression testing instructions.
commit : ff3d533e58c1842597660da9d21a902d971e2661
author : Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
date : Mon, 17 Feb 2014 11:24:42 -0500
committer: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
date : Mon, 17 Feb 2014 11:24:42 -0500 Since the temporary server started by "make check" uses "trust"
authentication, another user on the same machine could connect to it
as database superuser, and then potentially exploit the privileges of
the operating-system user who started the tests. We should change
the testing procedures to prevent this risk; but discussion is required
about the best way to do that, as well as more testing than is practical
for an undisclosed security problem. Besides, the same issue probably
affects some user-written test harnesses. So for the moment, we'll just
warn people against using "make check" when there are untrusted users on
the same machine.
In passing, remove some ancient advice that suggested making the
regression testing subtree world-writable if you'd built as root.
That looks dangerously insecure in modern contexts, and anyway we
should not be encouraging people to build Postgres as root.
Security: CVE-2014-0067 M doc/src/sgml/regress.sgml
Prevent potential overruns of fixed-size buffers.
commit : 655b665f745e2e07cf6936c6063b0250f5caa98f
author : Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
date : Mon, 17 Feb 2014 11:20:27 -0500
committer: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
date : Mon, 17 Feb 2014 11:20:27 -0500 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.

date : Mon, 17 Feb 2014 09:33:31 -0500 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.

date : Mon, 17 Feb 2014 09:33:31 -0500 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).

Avoid repeated name lookups during table and index DDL.

committer: Robert Haas <rhaas@postgresql.org>
date : Mon, 17 Feb 2014 09:33:31 -0500 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.

Shore up ADMIN OPTION restrictions.
commit : 15a8f97b9d16aaf659f58c981242b9da591cf24c
author : Noah Misch <noah@leadboat.com>
date : Mon, 17 Feb 2014 09:33:31 -0500
committer: Noah Misch <noah@leadboat.com>
date : Mon, 17 Feb 2014 09:33:31 -0500 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.

date : Thu, 13 Feb 2014 18:45:20 -0500 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.

if it's a live hyperlink. So use "<xref>" instead. Any argument against
doing this vanished with the recent decommissioning of plain-text release

date : Wed, 12 Feb 2014 17:50:13 -0500 In pqSendSome, if the connection is already closed at entry, discard any
queued output data before returning. There is no possibility of ever
sending the data, and anyway this corresponds to what we'd do if we'd
detected a hard error while trying to send(). This avoids possible
indefinite bloat of the output buffer if the application keeps trying
to send data (or even just keeps trying to do PQputCopyEnd, as psql
indeed will).
Because PQputCopyEnd won't transition out of PGASYNC_COPY_IN state
until it's successfully queued the COPY END message, and pqPutMsgEnd
doesn't distinguish a queuing failure from a pqSendSome failure,
this omission allowed an infinite loop in psql if the connection closure
occurred when we had at least 8K queued to send. It might be worth
refactoring so that we can make that distinction, but for the moment
the other changes made here seem to offer adequate defenses.
To guard against other variants of this scenario, do not allow
PQgetResult to return a PGRES_COPY_XXX result if the connection is
already known dead. Make sure it returns PGRES_FATAL_ERROR instead.

date : Wed, 12 Feb 2014 14:52:23 -0500 In a database that's not yet reached consistency, it's possible that some
segments of a relation are not full-size but are not the last ones either.
Because of the way smgrnblocks() works, asking for a new page with P_NEW
will fill in the last not-full-size segment --- and if that makes it full
size, the apparent EOF of the relation will increase by more than one page,
so that the next P_NEW request will yield a page past the next consecutive
one. This breaks the relation-extension logic in XLogReadBufferExtended,
possibly allowing a page update to be applied to some page far past where
it was intended to go. This appears to be the explanation for reports of
table bloat on replication slaves compared to their masters, and probably
explains some corrupted-slave reports as well.
Fix the loop to check the page number it actually got, rather than merely
Assert()'ing that dead reckoning got it to the desired place. AFAICT,
there are no other places that make assumptions about exactly which page
they'll get from P_NEW.

date : Mon, 10 Feb 2014 20:48:20 -0500 Providing this information as plain text was doubtless worth the trouble
ten years ago, but it seems likely that hardly anyone reads it in this
format anymore. And the effort required to maintain these files (in the
form of extra-complex markup rules in the relevant parts of the SGML
documentation) is significant. So, let's stop doing that and rely solely
on the other documentation formats.
Per discussion, the plain-text INSTALL instructions might still be worth
their keep, so we continue to generate that file.
Rather than remove HISTORY and src/test/regress/README from distribution
tarballs entirely, replace them with simple stub files that tell the reader
where to find the relevant documentation. This is mainly to avoid possibly
breaking packaging recipes that expect these files to exist.
Back-patch to all supported branches, because simplifying the markup
requirements for release notes won't help much unless we do it in all
branches. M GNUmakefile.in

date : Sat, 1 Feb 2014 18:27:01 -0500 In p_isdigit and other character class test functions generated by the
p_iswhat macro, the code path for non-C locales with multibyte encodings
contained a bogus pointer cast that would accidentally fail to malfunction
if types wchar_t and wint_t have the same width. Apparently that is true
on most platforms, but not on recent Cygwin releases. Remove the cast,
as it seems completely unnecessary (I think it arose from a false analogy
to the need to cast to unsigned char when dealing with the <ctype.h>
functions). Per bug #8970 from Marco Atzeri.
In the same functions, the code path for C locale with a multibyte encoding
simply ANDed each wide character with 0xFF before passing it to the
corresponding <ctype.h> function. This could result in false positive
answers for some non-ASCII characters, so use a range test instead.
Noted by me while investigating Marco's complaint.
Also, remove some useless though not actually buggy maskings and casts
in the hand-coded p_isalnum and p_isalpha functions, which evidently
got tested a bit more carefully than the macro-generated functions. M src/backend/tsearch/wparser_def.c

MyWalSnd (to stop signal handlers from touching MyWalSnd->latch),
then disown the latch, and only then mark the WalSnd struct unused by
clearing its pid field.

errno, which is surely a requirement for any signal handler.

date : Fri, 31 Jan 2014 21:31:08 -0500 Evidence from buildfarm member crake suggests that the new test_shm_mq
module is routinely crashing the server due to the arrival of a SIGUSR1
after the shared memory segment has been unmapped. Although processes
using the new dynamic background worker facilities are more likely to
receive a SIGUSR1 around this time, the problem is also possible on older
branches, so I'm back-patching the parts of this change that apply to
older branches as far as they apply.
It's already generally the case that code checks whether these pointers
are NULL before deferencing them, so the important thing is mostly to
make sure that they do get set to NULL before they become invalid. But
in master, there's one case in procsignal_sigusr1_handler that lacks a
NULL guard, so add that.

explains recent reports of odd failures on clang-built versions, typically
missing or inappropriate HINT fields in messages.

Allow type_func_name_keywords in even more places

type_func_name_keywords to be used in more places, including role
identifiers. Unfortunately, that commit missed out on cases where
name_list was used for lists-of-roles, eg: for DROP ROLE. This
resulted in the unfortunate situation that you could CREATE a role
with a type_func_name_keywords-allowed identifier, but not DROP it
(directly- ALTER could be used to rename it to something which
could be DROP'd).
This extends allowing type_func_name_keywords to places where role
lists can be used.

Tweak parse location assignment for CURRENT_DATE and related constructs.

date : Tue, 21 Jan 2014 16:34:35 -0500 All these constructs generate parse trees consisting of a Const and
a run-time type coercion (perhaps a FuncExpr or a CoerceViaIO). Modify
the raw parse output so that we end up with the original token's location
attached to the type coercion node while the Const has location -1;
before, it was the other way around. This makes no difference in terms
of what exprLocation() will say about the parse tree as a whole, so it
should not have any user-visible impact. The point of changing it is that
we do not want contrib/pg_stat_statements to treat these constructs as
replaceable constants. It will do the right thing if the Const has
location -1 rather than a valid location.
This is a pretty ugly hack, but then this code is ugly already; we should
someday replace this translation with special-purpose parse node(s) that
would allow ruleutils.c to reconstruct the original query text.
(See also commit 5d3fcc4c2e137417ef470d604fee5e452b22f6a7, which also
hacked location assignment rules for the benefit of pg_stat_statements.)

replaceable constants.

Allow SET TABLESPACE to database default

This changes ALTER TABLE ... SET TABLESPACE to allow the database's default
tablespace without checking for CREATE rights on that tablespace, just as

Fix multiple bugs in index page locking during hot-standby WAL replay.

committer: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
date : Tue, 14 Jan 2014 17:34:54 -0500 In ordinary operation, VACUUM must be careful to take a cleanup lock on
each leaf page of a btree index; this ensures that no indexscans could
still be "in flight" to heap tuples due to be deleted. (Because of
possible index-tuple motion due to concurrent page splits, it's not enough
to lock only the pages we're deleting index tuples from.) In Hot Standby,
the WAL replay process must likewise lock every leaf page. There were
several bugs in the code for that:
* The replay scan might come across unused, all-zero pages in the index.
While btree_xlog_vacuum itself did the right thing (ie, nothing) with
such pages, xlogutils.c supposed that such pages must be corrupt and
would throw an error. This accounts for various reports of replication
failures with "PANIC: WAL contains references to invalid pages". To
fix, add a ReadBufferMode value that instructs XLogReadBufferExtended
not to complain when we're doing this.
* btree_xlog_vacuum performed the extra locking if standbyState ==
STANDBY_SNAPSHOT_READY, but that's not the correct test: we won't open up
for hot standby queries until the database has reached consistency, and
we don't want to do the extra locking till then either, for fear of reading
corrupted pages (which bufmgr.c would complain about). Fix by exporting a
new function from xlog.c that will report whether we're actually in hot
standby replay mode.
* To ensure full coverage of the index in the replay scan, btvacuumscan
would emit a dummy WAL record for the last page of the index, if no
vacuuming work had been done on that page. However, if the last page
of the index is all-zero, that would result in corruption of said page,
since the functions called on it weren't prepared to handle that case.
There's no need to lock any such pages, so change the logic to target
the last normal leaf page instead.
The first two of these bugs were diagnosed by Andres Freund, the other one
by me. Fixes based on ideas from Heikki Linnakangas and myself.

Fix possible crashes due to using elog/ereport too early in startup.

date : Sat, 11 Jan 2014 16:35:34 -0500 Per reports from Andres Freund and Luke Campbell, a server failure during
set_pglocale_pgservice results in a segfault rather than a useful error
message, because the infrastructure needed to use ereport hasn't been
initialized; specifically, MemoryContextInit hasn't been called.
One known cause of this is starting the server in a directory it
doesn't have permission to read.
We could try to prevent set_pglocale_pgservice from using anything that
depends on palloc or elog, but that would be messy, and the odds of future
breakage seem high. Moreover there are other things being called in main.c
that look likely to use palloc or elog too --- perhaps those things
shouldn't be there, but they are there today. The best solution seems to
be to move the call of MemoryContextInit to very early in the backend's
real main() function. I've verified that an elog or ereport occurring
immediately after that is now capable of sending something useful to
stderr.
I also added code to elog.c to print something intelligible rather than
just crashing if MemoryContextInit hasn't created the ErrorContext.
This could happen if MemoryContextInit itself fails (due to malloc
failure), and provides some future-proofing against someone trying to
sneak in new code even earlier in server startup.
Back-patch to all supported branches. Since we've only heard reports of
this type of failure recently, it may be that some recent change has made

exceeds WIDTH_THRESHOLD (1024 bytes), so as to limit memory bloat during
ANALYZE. However, we (I think I, actually :-() failed to consider the
possibility that *every* non-null value in a column is too wide. While
compute_minimal_stats() seems to behave reasonably anyway in such a case,
compute_scalar_stats() just fell through and generated no pg_statistic
entry at all. That's unnecessarily pessimistic: we can still produce
valid stanullfrac and stawidth values in such cases, since we do include
too-wide values in the average-width calculation. Furthermore, since the
general assumption in this code is that too-wide values are probably all
distinct from each other, it seems reasonable to set stadistinct to -1
("all distinct").

date : Wed, 8 Jan 2014 20:18:13 -0500 In commit c1352052ef1d4eeb2eb1d822a207ddc2d106cb13, I implemented an
optimization that assumed that a function's argument expressions would
either always return a set (ie multiple rows), or always not. This is
wrong however: we allow CASE expressions in which some arms return a set
of some type and others just return a scalar of that type. There may be
other examples as well. To fix, replace the run-time test of whether an
argument returned a set with a static precheck (expression_returns_set).
This adds a little bit of query startup overhead, but it seems barely
measurable.

Fix pause_at_recovery_target + recovery_target_inclusive combination.

date : Wed, 8 Jan 2014 23:06:03 +0200 If pause_at_recovery_target is set, recovery pauses *before* applying the
target record, even if recovery_target_inclusive is set. If you then
continue with pg_xlog_replay_resume(), it will apply the target record
before ending recovery. In other words, if you log in while it's paused
and verify that the database looks OK, ending recovery changes its state
again, possibly destroying data that you were tring to salvage with PITR.
Backpatch to 9.1, this has been broken since pause_at_recovery_target was
added. M src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c

date : Wed, 8 Jan 2014 11:39:55 +0200 When starting WAL replay from an online checkpoint, the last replayed WAL
record variable was initialized using the checkpoint record's location, even
though the records between the REDO location and the checkpoint record had
not been replayed yet. That was noted as "slightly confusing" but harmless
in the comment, but in some cases, it fooled CheckRecoveryConsistency to
incorrectly conclude that we had already reached a consistent state
immediately at the beginning of WAL replay. That caused the system to accept
read-only connections in hot standby mode too early, and also PANICs with
message "WAL contains references to invalid pages".
Fix by initializing the variables to the REDO location instead.
In 9.2 and above, change CheckRecoveryConsistency() to use
lastReplayedEndRecPtr variable when checking if backup end location has
been reached. It was inconsistently using EndRecPtr for that check, but
lastReplayedEndRecPtr when checking min recovery point. It made no
difference before this patch, because in all the places where
CheckRecoveryConsistency was called the two variables were the same, but
it was always an accident waiting to happen, and would have been wrong
after this patch anyway.

Fix translatability markings in psql, and add defenses against future bugs.

date : Sat, 4 Jan 2014 16:05:23 -0500 Several previous commits have added columns to various \d queries without
updating their translate_columns[] arrays, leading to potentially incorrect
translations in NLS-enabled builds. Offenders include commit 893686762
(added prosecdef to \df+), c9ac00e6e (added description to \dc+) and
3b17efdfd (added description to \dC+). Fix those cases back to 9.3 or
9.2 as appropriate.
Since this is evidently more easily missed than one would like, in HEAD
also add an Assert that the supplied array is long enough. This requires
an API change for printQuery(), so it seems inappropriate for back
branches, but presumably all future changes will be tested in HEAD anyway.
In HEAD and 9.3, also clean up a whole lot of sloppiness in the emitted
SQL for \dy (event triggers): lack of translatability due to failing to
pass words-to-be-translated through gettext_noop(), inadequate schema
qualification, and sloppy formatting resulting in unnecessarily ugly
-E output.

Don't attempt to limit target database for pg_restore.

committer: Kevin Grittner <kgrittn@postgresql.org>
date : Sun, 29 Dec 2013 15:18:38 -0600 There was an apparent attempt to limit the target database for
pg_restore to version 7.1.0 or later. Due to a leading zero this
was interpreted as an octal number, which allowed targets with
version numbers down to 2.87.36. The lowest actual release above
that was 6.0.0, so that was effectively the limit.
Since the success of the restore attempt will depend primarily on
on what statements were generated by the dump run, we don't want
pg_restore trying to guess whether a given target should be allowed
based on version number. Allow a connection to any version. Since
it is very unlikely that anyone would be using a recent version of
pg_restore to restore to a pre-6.0 database, this has little to no
practical impact, but it makes the code less confusing to read.

Fix inherited UPDATE/DELETE with UNION ALL subqueries.

indeed need to process the planner's append_rel_list when copying RTE
subqueries, because if any of them were flattenable UNION ALL subqueries,
the append_rel_list shows which subquery RTEs were pulled up out of which
other ones. Without this, UNION ALL subqueries aren't correctly inserted
into the update plans for inheritance child tables after the first one,
typically resulting in no update happening for those child table(s).
Per report from Victor Yegorov.
Experimentation with this case also exposed a fault in commit
a7b965382cf0cb30aeacb112572718045e6d4be7: if an inherited UPDATE/DELETE
was proven totally dummy by constraint exclusion, we might arrive at
add_rtes_to_flat_rtable with root->simple_rel_array being NULL. This
should be interpreted as not having any RelOptInfos. I chose to code
the guard as a check against simple_rel_array_size, so as to also
provide some protection against indexing off the end of the array.

date : Fri, 13 Dec 2013 14:05:19 -0500 This prevents a possible longjmp out of the signal handler if a timeout
or SIGINT occurs while something within the handler has transiently set
ImmediateInterruptOK. For safety we must hold off the timeout or cancel
error until we're back in mainline, or at least till we reach the end of
the signal handler when ImmediateInterruptOK was true at entry. This
syncs these functions with the logic now present in handle_sig_alarm.
AFAICT there is no live bug here in 9.0 and up, because I don't think we
currently can wait for any heavyweight lock inside these functions, and
there is no other code (except read-from-client) that will turn on
ImmediateInterruptOK. However, that was not true pre-9.0: in older
branches ProcessIncomingNotify might block trying to lock pg_listener, and
then a SIGINT could lead to undesirable control flow. It might be all
right anyway given the relatively narrow code ranges in which NOTIFY
interrupts are enabled, but for safety's sake I'm back-patching this. M src/backend/commands/async.c

Tweak placement of explicit ANALYZE commands in the regression tests.

date : Wed, 11 Dec 2013 15:08:38 -0500 Make the COPY test, which loads most of the large static tables used in
the tests, also explicitly ANALYZE those tables. This allows us to get
rid of various ad-hoc, and rather redundant, ANALYZE commands that had
gotten stuck into various test scripts over time to ensure we got
consistent plan choices. (We could have done a database-wide ANALYZE,
but that would cause stats to get attached to the small static tables
too, which results in plan changes compared to the historical behavior.
I'm not sure that's a good idea, so not going that far for now.)
Back-patch to 9.0, since 9.0 and 9.1 are currently sometimes failing
regression tests for lack of an "ANALYZE tenk1" in the subselect test.

date : Tue, 10 Dec 2013 16:10:24 -0500 An expression such as WHERE (... x IN (SELECT ...) ...) IN (SELECT ...)
could produce an invalid plan that results in a crash at execution time,
if the planner attempts to flatten the outer IN into a semi-join.
This happens because convert_testexpr() was not expecting any nested
SubLinks and would wrongly replace any PARAM_SUBLINK Params belonging
to the inner SubLink. (I think the comment denying that this case could
happen was wrong when written; it's certainly been wrong for quite a long
time, since very early versions of the semijoin flattening logic.)

853d1c3103fa961ae6219f0281885b345593d101) because the redo-routine didn't
track incomplete splits correctly when the page was restored from a full
page image. Of course, that was not right way to fix it, the redo routine
should've been fixed instead. The redo-routine was surreptitiously fixed
in 2010 (commit 4016bdef8aded77b4903c457050622a5a1815c16), so all we need
to do now is revert the code that creates the record to its original form.
