* Add libpq connection parameter "scram_channel_binding"Peter Eisentraut2017-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This parameter can be used to enforce the channel binding type used during a SCRAM authentication. This can be useful to check code paths where an invalid channel binding type is used by a client and will be even more useful to allow testing other channel binding types when they are added. The default value is tls-unique, which is what RFC 5802 specifies. Clients can optionally specify an empty value, which has as effect to not use channel binding and use SCRAM-SHA-256 as chosen SASL mechanism. More tests for SCRAM and channel binding are added to the SSL test suite. Author: Author: Michael Paquier <michael.paquier@gmail.com>

* Change TRUE/FALSE to true/falsePeter Eisentraut2017-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The lower case spellings are C and C++ standard and are used in most parts of the PostgreSQL sources. The upper case spellings are only used in some files/modules. So standardize on the standard spellings. The APIs for ICU, Perl, and Windows define their own TRUE and FALSE, so those are left as is when using those APIs. In code comments, we use the lower-case spelling for the C concepts and keep the upper-case spelling for the SQL concepts. Reviewed-by: Michael Paquier <michael.paquier@gmail.com>
* Fix libpq to not require user's home directory to exist.Tom Lane2017-10-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some people like to run libpq-using applications in environments where there's no home directory. We've broken that scenario before (cf commits 5b4067798 and bd58d9d88), and commit ba005f193 broke it again, by making it a hard error if we fail to get the home directory name while looking for ~/.pgpass. The previous precedent is that if we can't get the home directory name, we should just silently act as though the file we hoped to find there doesn't exist. Rearrange the new code to honor that. Looking around, the service-file code added by commit 41a4e4595 had the same disease. Apparently, that escaped notice because it only runs when a service name has been specified, which I guess the people who use this scenario don't do. Nonetheless, it's wrong too, so fix that case as well. Add a comment about this policy to pqGetHomeDirectory, in the probably vain hope of forestalling the same error in future. And upgrade the rather miserable commenting in parseServiceInfo, too. In passing, also back off parseServiceInfo's assumption that only ENOENT is an ignorable error from stat() when checking a service file. We would need to ignore at least ENOTDIR as well (cf 5b4067798), and seeing that the far-better-tested code for ~/.pgpass treats all stat() failures alike, I think this code ought to as well. Per bug #14872 from Dan Watson. Back-patch the .pgpass change to v10 where ba005f193 came in. The service-file bugs are far older, so back-patch the other changes to all supported branches.

* Replace most usages of ntoh[ls] and hton[sl] with pg_bswap.h.Andres Freund2017-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All postgres internal usages are replaced, it's just libpq example usages that haven't been converted. External users of libpq can't generally rely on including postgres internal headers. Note that this includes replacing open-coded byte swapping of 64bit integers (using two 32 bit swaps) with a single 64bit swap. Where it looked applicable, I have removed netinet/in.h and arpa/inet.h usage, which previously provided the relevant functionality. It's perfectly possible that I missed other reasons for including those, the buildfarm will tell.

* Reduce excessive dereferencing of function pointersPeter Eisentraut2017-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | It is equivalent in ANSI C to write (*funcptr) () and funcptr(). These two styles have been applied inconsistently. After discussion, we'll use the more verbose style for plain function pointer variables, to make it clear that it's a variable, and the shorter style when the function pointer is in a struct (s.func() or s->func()), because then it's clear that it's not a plain function name, and otherwise the excessive punctuation makes some of those invocations hard to read.

* Second try at fixing tcp_keepalives_idle option on Solaris.Tom Lane2017-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Buildfarm evidence shows that TCP_KEEPALIVE_THRESHOLD doesn't exist after all on Solaris < 11. This means we need to take positive action to prevent the TCP_KEEPALIVE code path from being taken on that platform. I've chosen to limit it with "&& defined(__darwin__)", since it's unclear that anyone else would follow Apple's precedent of spelling the symbol that way. Also, follow a suggestion from Michael Paquier of eliminating code duplication by defining a couple of intermediate symbols for the socket option. In passing, make some effort to reduce the number of translatable messages by replacing "setsockopt(foo) failed" with "setsockopt(%s) failed", etc, throughout the affected files. And update relevant documentation so that it doesn't claim to provide an exhaustive list of the possible socket option names. Like the previous commit (f0256c774), back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170627163757.25161.528@wrigleys.postgresql.org
* Support tcp_keepalives_idle option on Solaris.Tom Lane2017-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Turns out that the socket option for this is named TCP_KEEPALIVE_THRESHOLD, at least according to the tcp(7P) man page for Solaris 11. (But since that text refers to "SunOS", it's likely pretty ancient.) It appears that the symbol TCP_KEEPALIVE does get defined on that platform, but it doesn't seem to represent a valid protocol-level socket option. This leads to bleats in the postmaster log, and no tcp_keepalives_idle functionality. Per bug #14720 from Andrey Lizenko, as well as an earlier report from Dhiraj Chawla that nobody had followed up on. The issue's been there since we added the TCP_KEEPALIVE code path in commit 5acd417c8, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Initial pgindent run with pg_bsd_indent version 2.0.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak. The main changes visible in this commit are: * Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations. * No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts, sizeof, or offsetof. * No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers. * Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely. * Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed with no space separating them from the code. * Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels. * Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less than the expected column 33. On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in indent itself. There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the changes as much as practical.

* Clear auth context correctly when re-connecting after failed auth attempt.Heikki Linnakangas2017-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If authentication over an SSL connection fails, with sslmode=prefer, libpq will reconnect without SSL and retry. However, we did not clear the variables related to GSS, SSPI, and SASL authentication state, when reconnecting. Because of that, the second authentication attempt would always fail with a "duplicate GSS/SASL authentication request" error. pg_SSPI_startup did not check for duplicate authentication requests like the corresponding GSS and SASL functions, so with SSPI, you would leak some memory instead. Another way this could manifest itself, on version 10, is if you list multiple hostnames in the "host" parameter. If the first server requests Kerberos or SCRAM authentication, but it fails, the attempts to connect to the other servers will also fail with "duplicate authentication request" errors. To fix, move the clearing of authentication state from closePGconn to pgDropConnection, so that it is cleared also when re-connecting. Patch by Michael Paquier, with some kibitzing by me. Backpatch down to 9.3. 9.2 has the same bug, but the code around closing the connection is somewhat different, so that this patch doesn't apply. To fix this in 9.2, I think we would need to back-port commit 210eb9b743 first, and then apply this patch. However, given that we only bumped into this in our own testing, we haven't heard any reports from users about this, and that 9.2 will be end-of-lifed in a couple of months anyway, it doesn't seem worth the risk and trouble.

* Restore PGREQUIRESSL recognition in libpq.Noah Misch2017-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Support SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication (RFC 5802 and 7677).Heikki Linnakangas2017-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces a new generic SASL authentication method, similar to the GSS and SSPI methods. The server first tells the client which SASL authentication mechanism to use, and then the mechanism-specific SASL messages are exchanged in AuthenticationSASLcontinue and PasswordMessage messages. Only SCRAM-SHA-256 is supported at the moment, but this allows adding more SASL mechanisms in the future, without changing the overall protocol. Support for channel binding, aka SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS is left for later. The SASLPrep algorithm, for pre-processing the password, is not yet implemented. That could cause trouble, if you use a password with non-ASCII characters, and a client library that does implement SASLprep. That will hopefully be added later. Authorization identities, as specified in the SCRAM-SHA-256 specification, are ignored. SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION provides more or less the same functionality, anyway. If a user doesn't exist, perform a "mock" authentication, by constructing an authentic-looking challenge on the fly. The challenge is derived from a new system-wide random value, "mock authentication nonce", which is created at initdb, and stored in the control file. We go through these motions, in order to not give away the information on whether the user exists, to unauthenticated users. Bumps PG_CONTROL_VERSION, because of the new field in control file.

* Remove useless duplicate inclusions of system header files.Tom Lane2017-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | c.h #includes a number of core libc header files, such as <stdio.h>. There's no point in re-including these after having read postgres.h, postgres_fe.h, or c.h; so remove code that did so. While at it, also fix some places that were ignoring our standard pattern of "include postgres[_fe].h, then system header files, then other Postgres header files". While there's not any great magic in doing it that way rather than system headers last, it's silly to have just a few files deviating from the general pattern. (But I didn't attempt to enforce this globally, only in files I was touching anyway.) I'd be the first to say that this is mostly compulsive neatnik-ism, but over time it might save enough compile cycles to be useful.

* Avoid improbable null pointer dereference in pgpassfileWarning().Tom Lane2017-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | Coverity complained that we might pass a null pointer to strcmp() if PQresultErrorField were to return NULL. That shouldn't be possible, since the server is supposed to always provide some SQLSTATE or other in an error message.

* Allow password file name to be specified as a libpq connection parameter.Tom Lane2017-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly an alternate password file could only be selected via the environment variable PGPASSFILE; now it can also be selected via a new connection parameter "passfile", corresponding to the conventions for most other connection parameters. There was some concern about this creating a security weakness, but it was agreed that that argument was pretty thin, and there are clear use-cases for handling password files this way.

* libpq: Add target_session_attrs parameter.Robert Haas2016-11-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 274bb2b3857cc987cfa21d14775cae9b0dababa5 made it possible to specify multiple IPs in a connection string, but that's not good enough for the case where you have a read-write master and a bunch of read-only standbys and want to connect to whichever server is the master at the current time. This commit allows that, by making it possible to specify target_session_attrs=read-write as a connection parameter. There was extensive discussion of the best name for the connection parameter and its values as well as the best way to distinguish master and standbys. For now, adopt the same solution as JDBC: if the user wants a read-write connection, issue 'show transaction_read_only' and rejection the connection if the result is 'on'. In the future, we could add additional values of this new target_session_attrs parameter that issue different queries; or we might have some way of distinguishing the server type without resorting to an SQL query; but right now, we have this, and that's (hopefully) a good start. Victor Wagner and Mithun Cy. Design review by Álvaro Herrera, Catalin Iacob, Takayuki Tsunakawa, and Craig Ringer; code review by me. I changed Mithun's patch to skip all remaining IPs for a host if we reject a connection based on this new parameter, rewrote the documentation, and did some other cosmetic cleanup.

* Code review for commit 274bb2b3857cc987cfa21d14775cae9b0dababa5.Robert Haas2016-11-22
| | | | | | | | | Avoid memory leak in conninfo_uri_parse_options. Use the current host rather than the comma-separated list of host names when the host name is needed for GSS, SSPI, or SSL authentication. Document the way connect_timeout interacts with multiple host specifications. Takayuki Tsunakawa
* Allow DOS-style line endings in ~/.pgpass files.Tom Lane2016-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On Windows, libc will mask \r\n line endings for us, since we read the password file in text mode. But that doesn't happen on Unix. People who share password files across both systems might have \r\n line endings in a file they use on Unix, so as a convenience, ignore trailing \r. Per gripe from Josh Berkus. In passing, put the existing check for empty line somewhere where it's actually useful, ie after stripping the newline not before.

* libpq: Allow connection strings and URIs to specify multiple hosts.Robert Haas2016-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | It's also possible to specify a separate port for each host. Previously, we'd loop over every address returned by looking up the host name; now, we'll try every address for every host name. Patch by me. Victor Wagner wrote an earlier patch for this feature, which I read, but I didn't use any of his code. Review by Mithun Cy.
* Refer to OS X as "macOS", except for the port name which is still "darwin".Tom Lane2016-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We weren't terribly consistent about whether to call Apple's OS "OS X" or "Mac OS X", and the former is probably confusing to people who aren't Apple users. Now that Apple has rebranded it "macOS", follow their lead to establish a consistent naming pattern. Also, avoid the use of the ancient project name "Darwin", except as the port code name which does not seem desirable to change. (In short, this patch touches documentation and comments, but no actual code.) I didn't touch contrib/start-scripts/osx/, either. I suspect those are obsolete and due for a rewrite, anyway. I dithered about whether to apply this edit to old release notes, but those were responsible for quite a lot of the inconsistencies, so I ended up changing them too. Anyway, Apple's being ahistorical about this, so why shouldn't we be?
* Move code shared between libpq and backend from backend/libpq/ to common/.Heikki Linnakangas2016-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When building libpq, ip.c and md5.c were symlinked or copied from src/backend/libpq into src/interfaces/libpq, but now that we have a directory specifically for routines that are shared between the server and client binaries, src/common/, move them there. Some routines in ip.c were only used in the backend. Keep those in src/backend/libpq, but rename to ifaddr.c to avoid confusion with the file that's now in common. Fix the comment in src/common/Makefile to reflect how libpq actually links those files. There are two more files that libpq symlinks directly from src/backend: encnames.c and wchar.c. I don't feel compelled to move those right now, though. Patch by Michael Paquier, with some changes by me. Discussion: <69938195-9c76-8523-0af8-eb718ea5b36e@iki.fi>
* Obstruct shell, SQL, and conninfo injection via database and role names.Noah Misch2016-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to simplistic quoting and confusion of database names with conninfo strings, roles with the CREATEDB or CREATEROLE option could escalate to superuser privileges when a superuser next ran certain maintenance commands. The new coding rule for PQconnectdbParams() calls, documented at conninfo_array_parse(), is to pass expand_dbname=true and wrap literal database names in a trivial connection string. Escape zero-length values in appendConnStrVal(). Back-patch to 9.1 (all supported versions). Nathan Bossart, Michael Paquier, and Noah Misch. Reviewed by Peter Eisentraut. Reported by Nathan Bossart.
