* Split tuple struct defs from htup.h to htup_details.hAlvaro Herrera2012-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | This reduces unnecessary exposure of other headers through htup.h, which is very widely included by many files. I have chosen to move the function prototypes to the new file as well, because that means htup.h no longer needs to include tupdesc.h. In itself this doesn't have much effect in indirect inclusion of tupdesc.h throughout the tree, because it's also required by execnodes.h; but it's something to explore in the future, and it seemed best to do the htup.h change now while I'm busy with it.
* Prevent access to external files/URLs via contrib/xml2's xslt_process().Tom Lane2012-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | libxslt offers the ability to read and write both files and URLs through stylesheet commands, thus allowing unprivileged database users to both read and write data with the privileges of the database server. Disable that through proper use of libxslt's security options. Also, remove xslt_process()'s ability to fetch documents and stylesheets from external files/URLs. While this was a documented "feature", it was long regarded as a terrible idea. The fix for CVE-2012-3489 broke that capability, and rather than expend effort on trying to fix it, we're just going to summarily remove it. While the ability to write as well as read makes this security hole considerably worse than CVE-2012-3489, the problem is mitigated by the fact that xslt_process() is not available unless contrib/xml2 is installed, and the longstanding warnings about security risks from that should have discouraged prudent DBAs from installing it in security-exposed databases. Reported and fixed by Peter Eisentraut. Security: CVE-2012-3488

* Fix some more bugs in contrib/xml2's xslt_process().Tom Lane2012-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It failed to check for error return from xsltApplyStylesheet(), as reported by Peter Gagarinov. (So far as I can tell, libxslt provides no convenient way to get a useful error message in failure cases. There might be some inconvenient way, but considering that this code is deprecated it's hard to get enthusiastic about putting lots of work into it. So I just made it say "failed to apply stylesheet", in line with the existing error checks.) While looking at the code I also noticed that the string returned by xsltSaveResultToString was never freed, resulting in a session-lifespan memory leak. Back-patch to all supported versions.
* Throw a useful error message if an extension script file is fed to psql.Tom Lane2011-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have seen one too many reports of people trying to use 9.1 extension files in the old-fashioned way of sourcing them in psql. Not only does that usually not work (due to failure to substitute for MODULE_PATHNAME and/or @extschema@), but if it did work they'd get a collection of loose objects not an extension. To prevent this, insert an \echo ... \quit line that prints a suitable error message into each extension script file, and teach commands/extension.c to ignore lines starting with \echo. That should not only prevent any adverse consequences of loading a script file the wrong way, but make it crystal clear to users that they need to do it differently now. Tom Lane, following an idea of Andrew Dunstan's. Back-patch into 9.1 ... there is not going to be much value in this if we wait till 9.2.
* Fix contrib/sepgsql and contrib/xml2 to always link required libraries.Robert Haas2011-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | contrib/xml2 can get by without libxslt; the relevant features just won't work. But if doesn't have libxml2, or if sepgsql doesn't have libselinux, the link succeeds but the module then fails to work at load time. To avoid that, link the require libraries unconditionally, so that it will be clear at link-time that there is a problem. Per discussion with Tom Lane and KaiGai Kohei.
* Rewrite libxml error handling to be more robust.Tom Lane2011-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | libxml reports some errors (like invalid xmlns attributes) via the error handler hook, but still returns a success indicator to the library caller. This causes us to miss some errors that are important to report. Since the "generic" error handler hook doesn't know whether the message it's getting is for an error, warning, or notice, stop using that and instead start using the "structured" error handler hook, which gets enough information to be useful. While at it, arrange to save and restore the error handler hook setting in each libxml-using function, rather than assuming we can set and forget the hook. This should improve the odds of working nicely with third-party libraries that also use libxml. In passing, volatile-ize some local variables that get modified within PG_TRY blocks. I noticed this while testing with an older gcc version than I'd previously tried to compile xml.c with. Florian Pflug and Tom Lane, with extensive review/testing by Noah Misch
* Support "make check" in contribPeter Eisentraut2011-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added a new option --extra-install to pg_regress to arrange installing the respective contrib directory into the temporary installation. This is currently not yet supported for Windows MSVC builds. Updated the .gitignore files for contrib modules to ignore the leftovers of a temp-install check run. Changed the exit status of "make check" in a pgxs build (which still does nothing) to 0 from 1. Added "make check" in contrib to top-level "make check-world".

* Avoid use of CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION in extension installation files.Tom Lane2011-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | It was never terribly consistent to use OR REPLACE (because of the lack of comparable functionality for data types, operators, etc), and experimentation shows that it's now positively pernicious in the extension world. We really want a failure to occur if there are any conflicts, else it's unclear what the extension-ownership state of the conflicted object ought to be. Most of the time, CREATE EXTENSION will fail anyway because of conflicts on other object types, but an extension defining only functions can succeed, with bad results.
* Convert contrib modules to use the extension facility.Tom Lane2011-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | This isn't fully tested as yet, in particular I'm not sure that the "foo--unpackaged--1.0.sql" scripts are OK. But it's time to get some buildfarm cycles on it. sepgsql is not converted to an extension, mainly because it seems to require a very nonstandard installation process. Dimitri Fontaine and Tom Lane
* Fix significant memory leak in contrib/xml2 functions.Tom Lane2010-11-26
| | | | | | | | | Most of the functions that execute XPath queries leaked the data structures created by libxml2. This memory would not be recovered until end of session, so it mounts up pretty quickly in any serious use of the feature. Per report from Pavel Stehule, though this isn't his patch. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* pgindent run for 9.0, second runBruce Momjian2010-07-06

* Make contrib/xml2 use core xml.c's error handler, when available (that is,Tom Lane2010-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | in versions >= 8.3). The core code is more robust and efficient than what was there before, and this also reduces risks involved in swapping different libxml error handler settings. Before 8.3, there is still some risk of problems if add-on modules such as Perl invoke libxml without setting their own error handler. Given the lack of reports I'm not sure there's a risk in practice, so I didn't take the step of actually duplicating the core code into older contrib/xml2 branches. Instead I just tweaked the existing code to ensure it didn't leave a dangling pointer to short-lived memory when throwing an error.
* Fix contrib/xml2 so regression test still works when it's built without libxslt.Tom Lane2010-03-01
| | | | | | | This involves modifying the module to have a stable ABI, that is, the xslt_process() function still exists even without libxslt. It throws a runtime error if called, but doesn't prevent executing the CREATE FUNCTION call. This is a good thing anyway to simplify cross-version upgrades.
* Remove xmlCleanupParser calls from contrib/xml2.Tom Lane2010-03-01
| | | | | | | These are unnecessary and probably dangerous. I don't see any immediate risk situations in the core XML support or contrib/xml2 itself, but there could be issues with external uses of libxml2, and in any case it's an accident waiting to happen.
* Fix up memory management problems in contrib/xml2.Tom Lane2010-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of the code that attempted to funnel libxml2's memory allocations into palloc. We already knew from experience with the core xml datatype that trying to do this is simply not reliable. Unlike the core code, I did not bother adding a lot of PG_TRY/PG_CATCH logic to try to ensure that everything is cleaned up on error exit. Hence, we might leak some memory if one of these functions fails partway through. Given the deprecated status of this contrib module and the fact that errors partway through the functions shouldn't be too common, it doesn't seem worth worrying about. Also fix a separate bug in xpath_table, that it did the wrong things if given a result tuple descriptor with less than 2 columns. While such a case isn't very useful in practice, we shouldn't fail or stomp memory when it occurs. Add some simple regression tests based on all the reported crash cases that I have on hand. This should be back-patched, but let's see if the buildfarm likes it first.

* Previous fix for temporary file management broke returning a set fromHeikki Linnakangas2009-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | PL/pgSQL function within an exception handler. Make sure we use the right resource owner when we create the tuplestore to hold returned tuples. Simplify tuplestore API so that the caller doesn't need to be in the right memory context when calling tuplestore_put* functions. tuplestore.c automatically switches to the memory context used when the tuplestore was created. Tuplesort was already modified like this earlier. This patch also removes the now useless MemoryContextSwitch calls from callers. Report by Aleksei on pgsql-bugs on Dec 22 2009. Backpatch to 8.1, like the previous patch that broke this.
* Fix xslt_process() to ensure that it inserts a NULL terminator after theTom Lane2009-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | last pair of parameter name/value strings, even when there are MAXPARAMS of them. Aboriginal bug in contrib/xml2, noted while studying bug #4912 (though I'm not sure whether there's something else involved in that report). This might be thought a security issue, since it's a potential backend crash; but considering that untrustworthy users shouldn't be allowed to get their hands on xslt_process() anyway, it's probably not worth getting excited about.

| | | | | | | | | not include postgres.h nor anything else it doesn't directly need. Add #includes to calling files as needed to compensate. Per my proposal of yesterday. This should be noted as a source code change in the 8.4 release notes, since it's likely to require changes in add-on modules.
* Be more tense about not creating tuplestores with randomAccess = true unlessTom Lane2008-10-29
| | | | | | | | backwards scan could actually happen. In particular, pass a flag to materialize-mode SRFs that tells them whether they need to require random access. In passing, also suppress unneeded backward-scan overhead for a Portal's holdStore tuplestore. Per my proposal about reducing I/O costs for tuplestores.

* Simplify and standardize conversions between TEXT datums and ordinary CTom Lane2008-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text, cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed. Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin, and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though). This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few places where it was easy, but much more could be done. Brendan Jurd and Tom Lane

Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly; and clean up various places so caught. In itself this patch doesn't change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope to play any games with the representation of varlena headers. Greg Stark and Tom Lane
