* Fix connection string handling in src/bin/scripts/ programs.Tom Lane2020-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When told to process all databases, clusterdb, reindexdb, and vacuumdb would reconnect by replacing their --maintenance-db parameter with the name of the target database. If that parameter is a connstring (which has been allowed for a long time, though we failed to document that before this patch), we'd lose any other options it might specify, for example SSL or GSS parameters, possibly resulting in failure to connect. Thus, this is the same bug as commit a45bc8a4f fixed in pg_dump and pg_restore. We can fix it in the same way, by using libpq's rules for handling multiple "dbname" parameters to add the target database name separately. I chose to apply the same refactoring approach as in that patch, with a struct to handle the command line parameters that need to be passed through to connectDatabase. (Maybe someday we can unify the very similar functions here and in pg_dump/pg_restore.) Per Peter Eisentraut's comments on bug #16604. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* createuser: fix parsing of --connection-limit argumentAlvaro Herrera2020-02-10

* Empty search_path in Autovacuum and non-psql/pgbench clients.Noah Misch2018-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes the client programs behave as documented regardless of the connect-time search_path and regardless of user-created objects. Today, a malicious user with CREATE permission on a search_path schema can take control of certain of these clients' queries and invoke arbitrary SQL functions under the client identity, often a superuser. This is exploitable in the default configuration, where all users have CREATE privilege on schema "public". This changes behavior of user-defined code stored in the database, like pg_index.indexprs and pg_extension_config_dump(). If they reach code bearing unqualified names, "does not exist" or "no schema has been selected to create in" errors might appear. Users may fix such errors by schema-qualifying affected names. After upgrading, consider watching server logs for these errors. The --table arguments of src/bin/scripts clients have been lax; for example, "vacuumdb -Zt pg_am\;CHECKPOINT" performed a checkpoint. That now fails, but for now, "vacuumdb -Zt 'pg_am(amname);CHECKPOINT'" still performs a checkpoint. Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported versions).

* Remove support for password_encryption='off' / 'plain'.Heikki Linnakangas2017-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Storing passwords in plaintext hasn't been a good idea for a very long time, if ever. Now seems like a good time to finally forbid it, since we're messing with this in PostgreSQL 10 anyway. Remove the CREATE/ALTER USER UNENCRYPTED PASSSWORD 'foo' syntax, since storing passwords unencrypted is no longer supported. ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'foo' is still accepted, but ENCRYPTED is now just a noise-word, it does the same as just PASSWORD 'foo'. Likewise, remove the --unencrypted option from createuser, but accept --encrypted as a no-op for backward compatibility. AFAICS, --encrypted was a no-op even before this patch, because createuser encrypted the password before sending it to the server even if --encrypted was not specified. It added the ENCRYPTED keyword to the SQL command, but since the password was already in encrypted form, it didn't make any difference. The documentation was not clear on whether that was intended or not, but it's moot now. Also, while password_encryption='on' is still accepted as an alias for 'md5', it is now marked as hidden, so that it is not listed as an accepted value in error hints, for example. That's not directly related to removing 'plain', but it seems better this way.

* Add PQencryptPasswordConn function to libpq, use it in psql and createuser.Heikki Linnakangas2017-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | The new function supports creating SCRAM verifiers, in addition to md5 hashes. The algorithm is chosen based on password_encryption, by default. This fixes the issue reported by Jeff Janes, that there was previously no way to create a SCRAM verifier with "\password".

* Simplify correct use of simple_prompt().Tom Lane2016-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous API for this function had it returning a malloc'd string. That meant that callers had to check for NULL return, which few of them were doing, and it also meant that callers had to remember to free() the string later, which required extra logic in most cases. Instead, make simple_prompt() write into a buffer supplied by the caller. Anywhere that the maximum required input length is reasonably small, which is almost all of the callers, we can just use a local or static array as the buffer instead of dealing with malloc/free. A fair number of callers used "pointer == NULL" as a proxy for "haven't requested the password yet". Maintaining the same behavior requires adding a separate boolean flag for that, which adds back some of the complexity we save by removing free()s. Nonetheless, this nets out at a small reduction in overall code size, and considerably less code than we would have had if we'd added the missing NULL-return checks everywhere they were needed. In passing, clean up the API comment for simple_prompt() and get rid of a very-unnecessary malloc/free in its Windows code path. This is nominally a bug fix, but it does not seem worth back-patching, because the actual risk of an OOM failure in any of these places seems pretty tiny, and all of them are client-side not server-side anyway. This patch is by me, but it owes a great deal to Michael Paquier who identified the problem and drafted a patch for fixing it the other way.

* Create src/fe_utils/, and move stuff into there from pg_dump's dumputils.Tom Lane2016-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Per discussion, we want to create a static library and put the stuff into it that until now has been shared across src/bin/ directories by ad-hoc methods like symlinking a source file. This commit creates the library and populates it with a couple of files that contain the widely-useful portions of pg_dump's dumputils.c file. dumputils.c survives, because it has some stuff that didn't seem appropriate for fe_utils, but it's significantly smaller and is no longer referenced from any other directory. Follow-on patches will move more stuff into fe_utils. The Mkvcbuild.pm hacking here is just a best guess; we'll see how the buildfarm likes it.

* Improve handling of password reuse in src/bin/scripts programs.Tom Lane2015-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts most of commit 83dec5a71 in favor of having connectDatabase() store the possibly-reusable password in a static variable, similar to the coding we've had for a long time in pg_dump's version of that function. To avoid possible problems with unwanted password reuse, make callers specify whether it's reasonable to attempt to re-use the password. This is a wash for cases where re-use isn't needed, but it is far simpler for callers that do want that. Functionally there should be no difference. Even though we're past RC1, it seems like a good idea to back-patch this into 9.5, like the prior commit. Otherwise, if there are any third-party users of connectDatabase(), they'll have to deal with an API change in 9.5 and then another one in 9.6. Michael Paquier
* vacuumdb: don't prompt for passwords over and overAlvaro Herrera2015-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Having the script prompt for passwords over and over was a preexisting problem when it processed multiple databases or when it processed multiple analyze stages, but the parallel mode introduced in commit a179232047 made it worse. Fix the annoyance by keeping a copy of the password used by the first connection that requires one. Since users can (currently) only have a single password, there's no need for more complex arrangements (such as remembering one password per database). Per bug #13741 reported by Eric Brown. Patch authored and cross-reviewed by Haribabu Kommi and Michael Paquier, slightly tweaked by Álvaro Herrera.
