* Fix misuse of an integer as a bool.Tom Lane2019-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pgtls_read_pending is declared to return bool, but what the underlying SSL_pending function returns is a count of available bytes. This is actually somewhat harmless if we're using C99 bools, but in the back branches it's a live bug: if the available-bytes count happened to be a multiple of 256, it would get converted to a zero char value. On machines where char is signed, counts of 128 and up could misbehave as well. The net effect is that when using SSL, libpq might block waiting for data even though some has already been received. Broken by careless refactoring in commit 4e86f1b16, so back-patch to 9.5 where that came in. Per bug #15802 from David Binderman. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15802-f0911a97f0346526@postgresql.org
* Remove support for tls-unique channel binding.Heikki Linnakangas2018-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are some problems with the tls-unique channel binding type. It's not supported by all SSL libraries, and strictly speaking it's not defined for TLS 1.3 at all, even though at least in OpenSSL, the functions used for it still seem to work with TLS 1.3 connections. And since we had no mechanism to negotiate what channel binding type to use, there would be awkward interoperability issues if a server only supported some channel binding types. tls-server-end-point seems feasible to support with any SSL library, so let's just stick to that. This removes the scram_channel_binding libpq option altogether, since there is now only one supported channel binding type. This also removes all the channel binding tests from the SSL test suite. They were really just testing the scram_channel_binding option, which is now gone. Channel binding is used if both client and server support it, so it is used in the existing tests. It would be good to have some tests specifically for channel binding, to make sure it really is used, and the different combinations of a client and a server that support or doesn't support it. The current set of settings we have make it hard to write such tests, but I did test those things manually, by disabling HAVE_BE_TLS_GET_CERTIFICATE_HASH and/or HAVE_PGTLS_GET_PEER_CERTIFICATE_HASH. I also removed the SCRAM_CHANNEL_BINDING_TLS_END_POINT constant. This is a matter of taste, but IMO it's more readable to just use the "tls-server-end-point" string. Refactor the checks on whether the SSL library supports the functions needed for tls-server-end-point channel binding. Now the server won't advertise, and the client won't choose, the SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS variant, if compiled with an OpenSSL version too old to support it. In the passing, add some sanity checks to check that the chosen SASL mechanism, SCRAM-SHA-256 or SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS, matches whether the SCRAM exchange used channel binding or not. For example, if the client selects the non-channel-binding variant SCRAM-SHA-256, but in the SCRAM message uses channel binding anyway. It's harmless from a security point of view, I believe, and I'm not sure if there are some other conditions that would cause the connection to fail, but it seems better to be strict about these things and check explicitly.

* Attempt to fix build with unusual OpenSSL versionsPeter Eisentraut2018-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since e3bdb2d92600ed45bd46aaf48309a436a9628218, libpq failed to build on some platforms because they did not have SSL_clear_options(). Although mainline OpenSSL introduced SSL_clear_options() after SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION, so the code should have built fine, at least an old NetBSD version (build farm "coypu" NetBSD 5.1 gcc 4.1.3 PR-20080704 powerpc) has SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION but no SSL_clear_options(). So add a configure check for SSL_clear_options(). If we don't find it, skip the call. That means on such a platform one cannot *enable* SSL compression if the built-in default is off, but that seems an unlikely combination anyway and not very interesting in practice.
* Set libpq sslcompression to off by defaultPeter Eisentraut2018-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since SSL compression is no longer recommended, turn the default in libpq from on to off. OpenSSL 1.1.0 and many distribution packages already turn compression off by default, so such a server won't accept compression anyway. So this will mainly affect users of older OpenSSL installations. Also update the documentation to make clear that this setting is no longer recommended.

* Fix more format truncation issuesPeter Eisentraut2018-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the warnings created by the compiler warning options -Wformat-overflow=2 -Wformat-truncation=2, supported since GCC 7. This is a more aggressive variant of the fixes in 6275f5d28a1577563f53f2171689d4f890a46881, which GCC 7 warned about by default. The issues are all harmless, but some dubious coding patterns are cleaned up. One issue that is of external interest is that BGW_MAXLEN is increased from 64 to 96. Apparently, the old value would cause the bgw_name of logical replication workers to be truncated in some circumstances. But this doesn't actually add those warning options. It appears that the warnings depend a bit on compilation and optimization options, so it would be annoying to have to keep up with that. This is more of a once-in-a-while cleanup.

* Refactor client-side SSL certificate checking codePeter Eisentraut2018-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Separate the parts specific to the SSL library from the general logic. The previous code structure was open_client_SSL() calls verify_peer_name_matches_certificate() calls verify_peer_name_matches_certificate_name() calls wildcard_certificate_match() and was completely in fe-secure-openssl.c. The new structure is open_client_SSL() [openssl] calls pq_verify_peer_name_matches_certificate() [generic] calls pgtls_verify_peer_name_matches_certificate_guts() [openssl] calls openssl_verify_peer_name_matches_certificate_name() [openssl] calls pq_verify_peer_name_matches_certificate_name() [generic] calls wildcard_certificate_match() [generic] Move the generic functions into a new file fe-secure-common.c, so the calls generally go fe-connect.c -> fe-secure.c -> fe-secure-${impl}.c -> fe-secure-common.c, although there is a bit of back-and-forth between the last two.

* Support channel binding 'tls-unique' in SCRAMPeter Eisentraut2017-11-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the basic feature set using OpenSSL to support the feature. In order to allow the frontend and the backend to fetch the sent and expected TLS Finished messages, a PG-like API is added to be able to make the interface pluggable for other SSL implementations. This commit also adds a infrastructure to facilitate the addition of future channel binding types as well as libpq parameters to control the SASL mechanism names and channel binding names. Those will be added by upcoming commits. Some tests are added to the SSL test suite to test SCRAM authentication with channel binding.

* 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 OpenSSL error queue after failed X509_STORE_load_locations() call.Heikki Linnakangas2016-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Leaving the error in the error queue used to be harmless, because the X509_STORE_load_locations() call used to be the last step in initialize_SSL(), and we would clear the queue before the next SSL_connect() call. But previous commit moved things around. The symptom was that if a CRL file was not found, and one of the subsequent initialization steps, like loading the client certificate or private key, failed, we would incorrectly print the "no such file" error message from the earlier X509_STORE_load_locations() call as the reason. Backpatch to all supported versions, like the previous patch.
* Don't share SSL_CTX between libpq connections.Heikki Linnakangas2016-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There were several issues with the old coding: 1. There was a race condition, if two threads opened a connection at the same time. We used a mutex around SSL_CTX_* calls, but that was not enough, e.g. if one thread SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations() with one path, and another thread set it with a different path, before the first thread got to establish the connection. 2. Opening two different connections, with different sslrootcert settings, seemed to fail outright with "SSL error: block type is not 01". Not sure why. 3. We created the SSL object, before calling SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations and SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file on the SSL context. That was wrong, because the options set on the SSL context are propagated to the SSL object, when the SSL object is created. If they are set after the SSL object has already been created, they won't take effect until the next connection. (This is bug #14329) At least some of these could've been fixed while still using a shared context, but it would've been more complicated and error-prone. To keep things simple, let's just use a separate SSL context for each connection, and accept the overhead. Backpatch to all supported versions. Report, analysis and test case by Kacper Zuk.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Changes needed to build at all: - Check for SSL_new in configure, now that SSL_library_init is a macro. - Do not access struct members directly. This includes some new code in pgcrypto, to use the resource owner mechanism to ensure that we don't leak OpenSSL handles, now that we can't embed them in other structs anymore. - RAND_SSLeay() -> RAND_OpenSSL() Changes that were needed to silence deprecation warnings, but were not strictly necessary: - RAND_pseudo_bytes() -> RAND_bytes(). - SSL_library_init() and OpenSSL_config() -> OPENSSL_init_ssl() - ASN1_STRING_data() -> ASN1_STRING_get0_data() - DH_generate_parameters() -> DH_generate_parameters() - Locking callbacks are not needed with OpenSSL 1.1.0 anymore. (Good riddance!) Also change references to SSLEAY_VERSION_NUMBER with OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER, for the sake of consistency. OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER has existed since time immemorial. Fix SSL test suite to work with OpenSSL 1.1.0. CA certificates must have the "CA:true" basic constraint extension now, or OpenSSL will refuse them. Regenerate the test certificates with that.

Backpatch to all supported branches, per popular demand. In back-branches, we still support OpenSSL 0.9.7 and above. OpenSSL 0.9.6 should still work too, but I didn't test it.

* Distrust external OpenSSL clients; clear err queuePeter Eisentraut2016-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OpenSSL has an unfortunate tendency to mix per-session state error handling with per-thread error handling. This can cause problems when programs that link to libpq with OpenSSL enabled have some other use of OpenSSL; without care, one caller of OpenSSL may cause problems for the other caller. Backend code might similarly be affected, for example when a third party extension independently uses OpenSSL without taking the appropriate precautions. To fix, don't trust other users of OpenSSL to clear the per-thread error queue. Instead, clear the entire per-thread queue ahead of certain I/O operations when it appears that there might be trouble (these I/O operations mostly need to call SSL_get_error() to check for success, which relies on the queue being empty). This is slightly aggressive, but it's pretty clear that the other callers have a very dubious claim to ownership of the per-thread queue. Do this is both frontend and backend code. Finally, be more careful about clearing our own error queue, so as to not cause these problems ourself. It's possibly that control previously did not always reach SSLerrmessage(), where ERR_get_error() was supposed to be called to clear the queue's earliest code. Make sure ERR_get_error() is always called, so as to spare other users of OpenSSL the possibility of similar problems caused by libpq (as opposed to problems caused by a third party OpenSSL library like PHP's OpenSSL extension). Again, do this is both frontend and backend code. See bug #12799 and https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68276 Based on patches by Dave Vitek and Peter Eisentraut. From: Peter Geoghegan <pg@bowt.ie>

* Fix poor errno handling in libpq's version of our custom OpenSSL BIO.Tom Lane2015-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thom Brown reported that SSL connections didn't seem to work on Windows in 9.5. Asif Naeem figured out that the cause was my_sock_read() looking at "errno" when it needs to look at "SOCK_ERRNO". This mistake was introduced in commit 680513ab79c7e12e402a2aad7921b95a25a4bcc8, which cloned the backend's custom SSL BIO code into libpq, and didn't translate the errno handling properly. Moreover, it introduced unnecessary errno save/restore logic, which was particularly confusing because it was incomplete; and it failed to check for all three of EINTR, EAGAIN, and EWOULDBLOCK in my_sock_write. (That might not be necessary; but since we're copying well-tested backend code that does do that, it seems prudent to copy it faithfully.)

That is a good thing if we ever get another SSL implementation. PQgetssl() still works, but it should be considered as deprecated as it only works with OpenSSL. In particular, PQgetSslInUse() should be used to check if a connection uses SSL, because as soon as we have another implementation, PQgetssl() will return NULL even if SSL is in use.
* 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes libpq check the server's hostname against DNS names listed in the X509 subjectAltName extension field in the server certificate. This allows the same certificate to be used for multiple domain names. If there are no SANs in the certificate, the Common Name field is used, like before this patch. If both are given, the Common Name is ignored. That is a bit surprising, but that's the behavior mandated by the relevant RFCs, and it's also what the common web browsers do. This also adds a libpq_ngettext helper macro to allow plural messages to be translated in libpq. Apparently this happened to be the first plural message in libpq, so it was not needed before. Alexey Klyukin, with some kibitzing by me.
* Break out OpenSSL-specific code to separate files.Heikki Linnakangas2014-08-11
This refactoring is in preparation for adding support for other SSL implementations, with no user-visible effects. There are now two #defines, USE_OPENSSL which is defined when building with OpenSSL, and USE_SSL which is defined when building with any SSL implementation. Currently, OpenSSL is the only implementation so the two #defines go together, but USE_SSL is supposed to be used for implementation-independent code. The libpq SSL code is changed to use a custom BIO, which does all the raw I/O, like we've been doing in the backend for a long time. That makes it possible to use MSG_NOSIGNAL to block SIGPIPE when using SSL, which avoids a couple of syscall for each send(). Probably doesn't make much performance difference in practice - the SSL encryption is expensive enough to mask the effect - but it was a natural result of this refactoring. Based on a patch by Martijn van Oosterhout from 2006. Briefly reviewed by Alvaro Herrera, Andreas Karlsson, Jeff Janes.
