* Fix JSON error reporting for many cases of erroneous string values.Tom Lane2023-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The majority of error exit cases in json_lex_string() failed to set lex->token_terminator, causing problems for the error context reporting code: it would see token_terminator less than token_start and do something more or less nuts. In v14 and up the end result could be as bad as a crash in report_json_context(). Older versions accidentally avoided that fate; but all versions produce error context lines that are far less useful than intended, because they'd stop at the end of the prior token instead of continuing to where the actually-bad input is. To fix, invent some macros that make it less notationally painful to do the right thing. Also add documentation about what the function is actually required to do; and in >= v14, add an assertion in report_json_context about token_terminator being sufficiently far advanced. Per report from Nikolay Shaplov. Back-patch to all supported versions. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/7332649.x5DLKWyVIX@thinkpad-pgpro
* Change some errdetail() to errdetail_internal()Alvaro Herrera2022-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | This prevents marking the argument string for translation for gettext, and it also prevents the given string (which is already translated) from being translated at runtime. Also, mark the strings used as arguments to check_rolespec_name for translation. Backpatch all the way back as appropriate. None of this is caught by any tests (necessarily so), so I verified it manually.
* Fix incautious handling of possibly-miscoded strings in client code.Tom Lane2021-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An incorrectly-encoded multibyte character near the end of a string could cause various processing loops to run past the string's terminating NUL, with results ranging from no detectable issue to a program crash, depending on what happens to be in the following memory. This isn't an issue in the server, because we take care to verify the encoding of strings before doing any interesting processing on them. However, that lack of care leaked into client-side code which shouldn't assume that anyone has validated the encoding of its input. Although this is certainly a bug worth fixing, the PG security team elected not to regard it as a security issue, primarily because any untrusted text should be sanitized by PQescapeLiteral or the like before being incorporated into a SQL or psql command. (If an app fails to do so, the same technique can be used to cause SQL injection, with probably much more dire consequences than a mere client-program crash.) Those functions were already made proof against this class of problem, cf CVE-2006-2313. To fix, invent PQmblenBounded() which is like PQmblen() except it won't return more than the number of bytes remaining in the string. In HEAD we can make this a new libpq function, as PQmblen() is. It seems imprudent to change libpq's API in stable branches though, so in the back branches define PQmblenBounded as a macro in the files that need it. (Note that just changing PQmblen's behavior would not be a good idea; notably, it would completely break the escaping functions' defense against this exact problem. So we just want a version for those callers that don't have any better way of handling this issue.) Per private report from houjingyi. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Run pgindent with new pg_bsd_indent version 2.1.1.Tom Lane2020-05-16
| | | | | | | | | | | Thomas Munro fixed a longstanding annoyance in pg_bsd_indent, that it would misformat lines containing IsA() macros on the assumption that the IsA() call should be treated like a cast. This improves some other cases involving field/variable names that match typedefs, too. The only places that get worse are a couple of uses of the OpenSSL macro STACK_OF(); we'll gladly take that trade-off. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200114221814.GA19630@alvherre.pgsql
* Initial pgindent and pgperltidy run for v13.Tom Lane2020-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | Includes some manual cleanup of places that pgindent messed up, most of which weren't per project style anyway. Notably, it seems some people didn't absorb the style rules of commit c9d297751, because there were a bunch of new occurrences of function calls with a newline just after the left paren, all with faulty expectations about how the rest of the call would get indented.
* Allow Unicode escapes in any server encoding, not only UTF-8.Tom Lane2020-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SQL includes provisions for numeric Unicode escapes in string literals and identifiers. Previously we only accepted those if they represented ASCII characters or the server encoding was UTF-8, making the conversion to internal form trivial. This patch adjusts things so that we'll call the appropriate encoding conversion function in less-trivial cases, allowing the escape sequence to be accepted so long as it corresponds to some character available in the server encoding. This also applies to processing of Unicode escapes in JSONB. However, the old restriction still applies to client-side JSON processing, since that hasn't got access to the server's encoding conversion infrastructure. This patch includes some lexer infrastructure that simplifies throwing errors with error cursors pointing into the middle of a string (or other complex token). For the moment I only used it for errors relating to Unicode escapes, but we might later expand the usage to some other cases. Patch by me, reviewed by John Naylor.

* Move jsonapi.c and jsonapi.h to src/common.Robert Haas2020-01-29
To make this work, (1) makeJsonLexContextCstringLen now takes the encoding to be used as an argument; (2) check_stack_depth() is made to do nothing in frontend code, and (3) elog(ERROR, ...) is changed to pg_log_fatal + exit in frontend code.
