* Improve handling of out-of-memory in libpq.Heikki Linnakangas2015-07-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | If an allocation fails in the main message handling loop, pqParseInput3 or pqParseInput2, it should not be treated as "not enough data available yet". Otherwise libpq will wait indefinitely for more data to arrive from the server, and gets stuck forever. This isn't a complete fix - getParamDescriptions and getCopyStart still have the same issue, but it's a step in the right direction. Michael Paquier and me. Backpatch to all supported versions.
* Replace a bunch more uses of strncpy() with safer coding.Tom Lane2015-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | strncpy() has a well-deserved reputation for being unsafe, so make an effort to get rid of nearly all occurrences in HEAD. A large fraction of the remaining uses were passing length less than or equal to the known strlen() of the source, in which case no null-padding can occur and the behavior is equivalent to memcpy(), though doubtless slower and certainly harder to reason about. So just use memcpy() in these cases. In other cases, use either StrNCpy() or strlcpy() as appropriate (depending on whether padding to the full length of the destination buffer seems useful). I left a few strncpy() calls alone in the src/timezone/ code, to keep it in sync with upstream (the IANA tzcode distribution). There are also a few such calls in ecpg that could possibly do with more analysis. AFAICT, none of these changes are more than cosmetic, except for the four occurrences in fe-secure-openssl.c, which are in fact buggy: an overlength source leads to a non-null-terminated destination buffer and ensuing misbehavior. These don't seem like security issues, first because no stack clobber is possible and second because if your values of sslcert etc are coming from untrusted sources then you've got problems way worse than this. Still, it's undesirable to have unpredictable behavior for overlength inputs, so back-patch those four changes to all active branches.

* libpq: use pgsocket for socket values, for portabilityBruce Momjian2014-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | Previously, 'int' was used for socket values in libpq, but socket values are unsigned on Windows. This is a style correction. Initial patch and previous PGINVALID_SOCKET initial patch by Joel Jacobson, modified by me Report from PVS-Studio
* Prevent potential overruns of fixed-size buffers.Tom Lane2014-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Security: CVE-2014-0065 for buffer overruns, CVE-2014-0066 for crypt()

* Replace libpq's "row processor" API with a "single row" mode.Tom Lane2012-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After taking awhile to digest the row-processor feature that was added to libpq in commit 92785dac2ee7026948962cd61c4cd84a2d052772, we've concluded it is over-complicated and too hard to use. Leave the core infrastructure changes in place (that is, there's still a row processor function inside libpq), but remove the exposed API pieces, and instead provide a "single row" mode switch that causes PQgetResult to return one row at a time in separate PGresult objects. This approach incurs more overhead than proper use of a row processor callback would, since construction of a PGresult per row adds extra cycles. However, it is far easier to use and harder to break. The single-row mode still affords applications the primary benefit that the row processor API was meant to provide, namely not having to accumulate large result sets in memory before processing them. Preliminary testing suggests that we can probably buy back most of the extra cycles by micro-optimizing construction of the extra results, but that task will be left for another day. Marko Kreen

* Add a "row processor" API to libpq for better handling of large results.Tom Lane2012-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | Traditionally libpq has collected an entire query result before passing it back to the application. That provides a simple and transactional API, but it's pretty inefficient for large result sets. This patch allows the application to process each row on-the-fly instead of accumulating the rows into the PGresult. Error recovery becomes a bit more complex, but often that tradeoff is well worth making. Kyotaro Horiguchi, reviewed by Marko Kreen and Tom Lane

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new libpq connection option client_encoding (which includes the existing PGCLIENTENCODING environment variable), which besides an encoding name accepts a special value "auto" that tries to determine the encoding from the locale in the client's environment, using the mechanisms that have been in use in initdb. psql sets this new connection option to "auto" when running from a terminal and not overridden by setting PGCLIENTENCODING. original code by Heikki Linnakangas, with subsequent contributions by Jaime Casanova, Peter Eisentraut, Stephen Frost, Ibrar Ahmed

* Solve the 'Turkish problem' with undesirable locale behavior for caseTom Lane2004-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | conversion of basic ASCII letters. Remove all uses of strcasecmp and strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp; remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of pg_toupper and pg_tolower. These functions use the same notions of case folding already developed for identifier case conversion. I left the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale dependent. Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.
