* Distrust external OpenSSL clients; clear err queuePeter Eisentraut2016-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 possible read past end of string in to_timestamp().Tom Lane2016-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to_timestamp() handles the TH/th format codes by advancing over two input characters, whatever those are. It failed to notice whether there were two characters available to be skipped, making it possible to advance the pointer past the end of the input string and keep on parsing. A similar risk existed in the handling of "Y,YYY" format: it would advance over three characters after the "," whether or not three characters were available. In principle this might be exploitable to disclose contents of server memory. But the security team concluded that it would be very hard to use that way, because the parsing loop would stop upon hitting any zero byte, and TH/th format codes can't be consecutive --- they have to follow some other format code, which would have to match whatever data is there. So it seems impractical to examine memory very much beyond the end of the input string via this bug; and the input string will always be in local memory not in disk buffers, making it unlikely that anything very interesting is close to it in a predictable way. So this doesn't quite rise to the level of needing a CVE. Thanks to Wolf Roediger for reporting this bug.
* Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2016d.Tom Lane2016-05-05
| | | | | | | DST law changes in Russia (Magadan, Tomsk regions) and Venezuela. Historical corrections for Russia. There are new zone names Europe/Kirov and Asia/Tomsk reflecting the fact that these regions now have different time zone histories from adjacent regions.
* Adjust DatumGetBool macro, this time for sure.Tom Lane2016-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 23a41573c attempted to fix the DatumGetBool macro to ignore bits in a Datum that are to the left of the actual bool value. But it did that by casting the Datum to bool; and on compilers that use C99 semantics for bool, that ends up being a whole-word test, not a 1-byte test. This seems to be the true explanation for contrib/seg failing in VS2015. To fix, use GET_1_BYTE() explicitly. I think in the previous patch, I'd had some idea of not having to commit to bool being exactly 1 byte wide, but regardless of what the compiler's bool is, boolean columns and Datums are certainly 1 byte wide. The previous fix was (eventually) back-patched into all active versions, so do likewise with this one.
* Rename strtoi() to strtoint().Tom Lane2016-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | NetBSD has seen fit to invent a libc function named strtoi(), which conflicts with the long-established static functions of the same name in datetime.c and ecpg's interval.c. While muttering darkly about intrusions on application namespace, we'll rename our functions to avoid the conflict. Back-patch to all supported branches, since this would affect attempts to build any of them on recent NetBSD. Thomas Munro
* Fix planner failure with full join in RHS of left join.Tom Lane2016-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Given a left join containing a full join in its righthand side, with the left join's joinclause referencing only one side of the full join (in a non-strict fashion, so that the full join doesn't get simplified), the planner could fail with "failed to build any N-way joins" or related errors. This happened because the full join was seen as overlapping the left join's RHS, and then recent changes within join_is_legal() caused that function to conclude that the full join couldn't validly be formed. Rather than try to rejigger join_is_legal() yet more to allow this, I think it's better to fix initsplan.c so that the required join order is explicit in the SpecialJoinInfo data structure. The previous coding there essentially ignored full joins, relying on the fact that we don't flatten them in the joinlist data structure to preserve their ordering. That's sufficient to prevent a wrong plan from being formed, but as this example shows, it's not sufficient to ensure that the right plan will be formed. We need to work a bit harder to ensure that the right plan looks sane according to the SpecialJoinInfos. Per bug #14105 from Vojtech Rylko. This was apparently induced by commit 8703059c6 (though now that I've seen it, I wonder whether there are related cases that could have failed before that); so back-patch to all active branches. Unfortunately, that patch also went into 9.0, so this bug is a regression that won't be fixed in that branch.
* Improve TranslateSocketError() to handle more Windows error codes.Tom Lane2016-04-21
| | | | | | The coverage was rather lean for cases that bind() or listen() might return. Add entries for everything that there's a direct equivalent for in the set of Unix errnos that elog.c has heard of.
* Remove dead code in win32.h.Tom Lane2016-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | There's no longer a need for the MSVC-version-specific code stanza that forcibly redefines errno code symbols, because since commit 73838b52 we're unconditionally redefining them in the stanza before this one anyway. Now it's merely confusing and ugly, so get rid of it; and improve the comment that explains what's going on here. Although this is just cosmetic, back-patch anyway since I'm intending to back-patch some less-cosmetic changes in this same hunk of code.
* Provide errno-translation wrappers around bind() and listen() on Windows.Tom Lane2016-04-21

* Fix ruleutils.c's dumping of ScalarArrayOpExpr containing an EXPR_SUBLINK.Tom Lane2016-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we shoehorned "x op ANY (array)" into the SQL syntax, we created a fundamental ambiguity as to the proper treatment of a sub-SELECT on the righthand side: perhaps what's meant is to compare x against each row of the sub-SELECT's result, or perhaps the sub-SELECT is meant as a scalar sub-SELECT that delivers a single array value whose members should be compared against x. The grammar resolves it as the former case whenever the RHS is a select_with_parens, making the latter case hard to reach --- but you can get at it, with tricks such as attaching a no-op cast to the sub-SELECT. Parse analysis would throw away the no-op cast, leaving a parsetree with an EXPR_SUBLINK SubLink directly under a ScalarArrayOpExpr. ruleutils.c was not clued in on this fine point, and would naively emit "x op ANY ((SELECT ...))", which would be parsed as the first alternative, typically leading to errors like "operator does not exist: text = text[]" during dump/reload of a view or rule containing such a construct. To fix, emit a no-op cast when dumping such a parsetree. This might well be exactly what the user wrote to get the construct accepted in the first place; and even if she got there with some other dodge, it is a valid representation of the parsetree. Per report from Karl Czajkowski. He mentioned only a case involving RLS policies, but actually the problem is very old, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Honor PGCTLTIMEOUT environment variable for pg_regress' startup wait.Tom Lane2016-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 2ffa86962077c588 we made pg_ctl recognize an environment variable PGCTLTIMEOUT to set the default timeout for starting and stopping the postmaster. However, pg_regress uses pg_ctl only for the "stop" end of that; it has bespoke code for starting the postmaster, and that code has historically had a hard-wired 60-second timeout. Further buildfarm experience says it'd be a good idea if that timeout were also controlled by PGCTLTIMEOUT, so let's make it so. Like the previous patch, back-patch to all active branches.

* Fix pg_dump so pg_upgrade'ing an extension with simple opfamilies works.Tom Lane2016-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As reported by Michael Feld, pg_upgrade'ing an installation having extensions with operator families that contain just a single operator class failed to reproduce the extension membership of those operator families. This caused no immediate ill effects, but would create problems when later trying to do a plain dump and restore, because the seemingly-not-part-of- the-extension operator families would appear separately in the pg_dump output, and then would conflict with the families created by loading the extension. This has been broken ever since extensions were introduced, and many of the standard contrib extensions are affected, so it's a bit astonishing nobody complained before. The cause of the problem is a perhaps-ill-considered decision to omit such operator families from pg_dump's output on the grounds that the CREATE OPERATOR CLASS commands could recreate them, and having explicit CREATE OPERATOR FAMILY commands would impede loading the dump script into pre-8.3 servers. Whatever the merits of that decision when 8.3 was being written, it looks like a poor tradeoff now. We can fix the pg_upgrade problem simply by removing that code, so that the operator families are dumped explicitly (and then will be properly made to be part of their extensions). Although this fixes the behavior of future pg_upgrade runs, it does nothing to clean up existing installations that may have improperly-linked operator families. Given the small number of complaints to date, maybe we don't need to worry about providing an automated solution for that; anyone who needs to clean it up can do so with manual "ALTER EXTENSION ADD OPERATOR FAMILY" commands, or even just ignore the duplicate-opfamily errors they get during a pg_restore. In any case we need this fix. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: <20228.1460575691@sss.pgh.pa.us>

* Fix latent portability issue in pgwin32_dispatch_queued_signals().Tom Lane2016-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The first iteration of the signal-checking loop would compute sigmask(0) which expands to 1<<(-1) which is undefined behavior according to the C standard. The lack of field reports of trouble suggest that it evaluates to 0 on all existing Windows compilers, but that's hardly something to rely on. Since signal 0 isn't a queueable signal anyway, we can just make the loop iterate from 1 instead, and save a few cycles as well as avoiding the undefined behavior. In passing, avoid evaluating the volatile expression UNBLOCKED_SIGNAL_QUEUE twice in a row; there's no reason to waste cycles like that. Noted by Aleksander Alekseev, though this isn't his proposed fix. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Avoid possibly-unsafe use of Windows' FormatMessage() function.Tom Lane2016-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | Whenever this function is used with the FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM flag, it's good practice to include FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS as well. Otherwise, if the message contains any %n insertion markers, the function will try to fetch argument strings to substitute --- which we are not passing, possibly leading to a crash. This is exactly analogous to the rule about not giving printf() a format string you're not in control of. Noted and patched by Christian Ullrich. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Change various Gin*Is* macros to return 0/1.Andres Freund2016-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Returning the direct result of bit arithmetic, in a macro intended to be used in a boolean manner, can be problematic if the return value is stored in a variable of type 'bool'. If bool is implemented using C99's _Bool, that can lead to comparison failures if the variable is then compared again with the expression (see ginStepRight() for an example that fails), as _Bool forces the result to be 0/1. That happens in some configurations of newer MSVC compilers. It's also problematic when storing the result of such an expression in a narrower type. Several gin macros have been declared in that style since gin's initial commit in 8a3631f8d86. There's a lot more macros like this, but this is the only one causing regression test failures; and I don't want to commit and backpatch a larger patch with lots of conflicts just before the next set of minor releases.

* Modernize zic's test for valid timezone abbreviations.Tom Lane2016-03-26
| | | | | | | | | We really need to sync all of our IANA-derived timezone code with upstream, but that's going to be a large patch and I certainly don't care to shove such a thing into stable branches immediately before a release. As a stopgap, copy just the tzcode2016c logic that checks validity of timezone abbreviations. This prevents getting multiple "time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard" bleats with tzdata 2014b and later.
* Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2016c.Tom Lane2016-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DST law changes in Azerbaijan, Chile, Haiti, Palestine, and Russia (Altai, Astrakhan, Kirov, Sakhalin, Ulyanovsk regions). Historical corrections for Lithuania, Moldova, Russia (Kaliningrad, Samara, Volgograd). As of 2015b, the keepers of the IANA timezone database started to use numeric time zone abbreviations (e.g., "+04") instead of inventing abbreviations not found in the wild like "ASTT". This causes our rather old copy of zic to whine "warning: time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard" several times during "make install". This warning is harmless according to the IANA folk, and I don't see any problems with these abbreviations in some simple tests; but it seems like now would be a good time to update our copy of the tzcode stuff. I'll look into that soon.
* Remove dependency on psed for MSVC builds.Andrew Dunstan2016-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | Modern Perl has removed psed from its core distribution, so it might not be readily available on some build platforms. We therefore replace its use with a Perl script generated by s2p, which is equivalent to the sed script. The latter is retained for non-MSVC builds to avoid creating a new hard dependency on Perl for non-Windows tarball builds. Backpatch to all live branches. Michael Paquier and me.
* Cope if platform declares mbstowcs_l(), but not locale_t, in <xlocale.h>.Tom Lane2016-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we included <xlocale.h> only if necessary to get the definition of type locale_t. According to notes in PGAC_TYPE_LOCALE_T, this is important because on some versions of glibc that file supplies an incompatible declaration of locale_t. (This info may be obsolete, because on my RHEL6 box that seems to be the *only* definition of locale_t; but there may still be glibc's in the wild for which it's a live concern.) It turns out though that on FreeBSD and maybe other BSDen, you can get locale_t from stdlib.h or locale.h but mbstowcs_l() and friends only from <xlocale.h>. This was leaving us compiling calls to mbstowcs_l() and friends with no visible prototype, which causes a warning and could possibly cause actual trouble, since it's not declared to return int. Hence, adjust the configure checks so that we'll include <xlocale.h> either if it's necessary to get type locale_t or if it's necessary to get a declaration of mbstowcs_l(). Report and patch by Aleksander Alekseev, somewhat whacked around by me. Back-patch to all supported branches, since we have been using mbstowcs_l() since 9.1.
* Add missing NULL terminator to list_SECURITY_LABEL_preposition[].Tom Lane2016-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | On the machines I tried this on, pressing TAB after SECURITY LABEL led to being offered ON and FOR as intended, plus random other keywords (varying across machines). But if you were a bit more unlucky you'd get a crash, as reported by nummervet@mail.ru in bug #14019. Seems to have been an aboriginal error in the SECURITY LABEL patch, commit 4d355a8336e0f226. Hence, back-patch to all supported versions. There's no bug in HEAD, though, thanks to our recent tab-completion rewrite.
* Avoid crash on old Windows with AVX2-capable CPU for VS2013 buildsMagnus Hagander2016-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Visual Studio 2013 CRT generates invalid code when it makes a 64-bit build that is later used on a CPU that supports AVX2 instructions using a version of Windows before 7SP1/2008R2SP1. Detect this combination, and in those cases turn off the generation of FMA3, per recommendation from the Visual Studio team. The bug is actually in the CRT shipping with Visual Studio 2013, but Microsoft have stated they're only fixing it in newer major versions. The fix is therefor conditioned specifically on being built with this version of Visual Studio, and not previous or later versions. Author: Christian Ullrich
* Avoid unlikely data-loss scenarios due to rename() without fsync.Andres Freund2016-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Renaming a file using rename(2) is not guaranteed to be durable in face of crashes. Use the previously added durable_rename()/durable_link_or_rename() in various places where we previously just renamed files. Most of the changed call sites are arguably not critical, but it seems better to err on the side of too much durability. The most prominent known case where the previously missing fsyncs could cause data loss is crashes at the end of a checkpoint. After the actual checkpoint has been performed, old WAL files are recycled. When they're filled, their contents are fdatasynced, but we did not fsync the containing directory. An OS/hardware crash in an unfortunate moment could then end up leaving that file with its old name, but new content; WAL replay would thus not replay it.

* Introduce durable_rename() and durable_link_or_rename().Andres Freund2016-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Renaming a file using rename(2) is not guaranteed to be durable in face of crashes; especially on filesystems like xfs and ext4 when mounted with data=writeback. To be certain that a rename() atomically replaces the previous file contents in the face of crashes and different filesystems, one has to fsync the old filename, rename the file, fsync the new filename, fsync the containing directory. This sequence is not generally adhered to currently; which exposes us to data loss risks. To avoid having to repeat this arduous sequence, introduce durable_rename(), which wraps all that. Also add durable_link_or_rename(). Several places use link() (with a fallback to rename()) to rename a file, trying to avoid replacing the target file out of paranoia. Some of those rename sequences need to be durable as well. There seems little reason extend several copies of the same logic, so centralize the link() callers. This commit does not yet make use of the new functions; they're used in a followup commit.

* Fix incorrect handling of NULL index entries in indexed ROW() comparisons.Tom Lane2016-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An index search using a row comparison such as ROW(a, b) > ROW('x', 'y') would stop upon reaching a NULL entry in the "b" column, ignoring the fact that there might be non-NULL "b" values associated with later values of "a". This happens because _bt_mark_scankey_required() marks the subsidiary scankey for "b" as required, which is just wrong: it's for a column after the one with the first inequality key (namely "a"), and thus can't be considered a required match. This bit of brain fade dates back to the very beginnings of our support for indexed ROW() comparisons, in 2006. Kind of astonishing that no one came across it before Glen Takahashi, in bug #14010. Back-patch to all supported versions. Note: the given test case doesn't actually fail in unpatched 9.1, evidently because the fix for bug #6278 (i.e., stopping at nulls in either scan direction) is required to make it fail. I'm sure I could devise a case that fails in 9.1 as well, perhaps with something involving making a cursor back up; but it doesn't seem worth the trouble.

* Fix not-terribly-safe coding in NIImportOOAffixes() and NIImportAffixes().Tom Lane2016-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There were two places in spell.c that supposed that they could search for a location in a string produced by lowerstr() and then transpose the offset into the original string. But this fails completely if lowerstr() transforms any characters into characters of different byte length, as can happen in Turkish UTF8 for instance. We'd added some comments about this coding in commit 51e78ab4ff328296, but failed to realize that it was not merely confusing but wrong. Coverity complained about this code years ago, but in such an opaque fashion that nobody understood what it was on about. I'm not entirely sure that this issue *is* what it's on about, actually, but perhaps this patch will shut it up -- and in any case the problem is clear. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Improve error message for rejecting RETURNING clauses with dropped columns.Tom Lane2016-02-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This error message was written with only ON SELECT rules in mind, but since then we also made RETURNING-clause targetlists go through the same logic. This means that you got a rather off-topic error message if you tried to add a rule with RETURNING to a table having dropped columns. Ideally we'd just support that, but some preliminary investigation says that it might be a significant amount of work. Seeing that Nicklas Avén's complaint is the first one we've gotten about this in the ten years or so that the code's been like that, I'm unwilling to put much time into it. Instead, improve the error report by issuing a different message for RETURNING cases, and revise the associated comment based on this investigation. Discussion: 1456176604.17219.9.camel@jordogskog.no

* Make plpython cope with funny characters in function names.Tom Lane2016-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A function name that's double-quoted in SQL can contain almost any characters, but we were using that name directly as part of the name generated for the Python-level function, and Python doesn't like anything that isn't pretty much a standard identifier. To fix, replace anything that isn't an ASCII letter or digit with an underscore in the generated name. This doesn't create any risk of duplicate Python function names because we were already appending the function OID to the generated name to ensure uniqueness. Per bug #13960 from Jim Nasby.

* Suppress compiler warnings about useless comparison of unsigned to zero.Tom Lane2016-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | Reportedly, some compilers warn about tests like "c < 0" if c is unsigned, and hence complain about the character range checks I added in commit 3bb3f42f3749d40b8d4de65871e8d828b18d4a45. This is a bit of a pain since the regex library doesn't really want to assume that chr is unsigned. However, since any such reconfiguration would involve manual edits of regcustom.h anyway, we can put it on the shoulders of whoever wants to do that to adjust this new range-checking macro correctly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that on FreeBSD-derived platforms (including OS X), the *scanf() family of functions is pretty much brain-dead about multibyte characters. In particular it will apply isspace() to individual bytes of input even when those bytes are part of a multibyte character, thus allowing false recognition of a field-terminating space. We appear to have little alternative other than instituting a coding rule that *scanf() is not to be used if the input string might contain multibyte characters. (There was some discussion of relying on "%ls", but that probably just moves the portability problem somewhere else, and besides it doesn't fully prevent BSD *scanf() from using isspace().) This patch is a down payment on that: it gets rid of use of sscanf() to parse ispell dictionary files, which are certainly at great risk of having a problem. The code is cleaner this way anyway, though a bit longer. In passing, improve a few comments. Report and patch by Artur Zakirov, reviewed and somewhat tweaked by me. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix some regex issues with out-of-range characters and large char ranges.Tom Lane2016-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, our regex code defined CHR_MAX as 0xfffffffe, which is a bad choice because it is outside the range of type "celt" (int32). Characters approaching that limit could lead to infinite loops in logic such as "for (c = a; c <= b; c++)" where c is of type celt but the range bounds are chr. Such loops will work safely only if CHR_MAX+1 is representable in celt, since c must advance to beyond b before the loop will exit. Fortunately, there seems no reason not to restrict CHR_MAX to 0x7ffffffe. It's highly unlikely that Unicode will ever assign codes that high, and none of our other backend encodings need characters beyond that either. In addition to modifying the macro, we have to explicitly enforce character range restrictions on the values of \u, \U, and \x escape sequences, else the limit is trivially bypassed. Also, the code for expanding case-independent character ranges in bracket expressions had a potential integer overflow in its calculation of the number of characters it could generate, which could lead to allocating too small a character vector and then overwriting memory. An attacker with the ability to supply arbitrary regex patterns could easily cause transient DOS via server crashes, and the possibility for privilege escalation has not been ruled out. Quite aside from the integer-overflow problem, the range expansion code was unnecessarily inefficient in that it always produced a result consisting of individual characters, abandoning the knowledge that we had a range to start with. If the input range is large, this requires excessive memory. Change it so that the original range is reported as-is, and then we add on any case-equivalent characters that are outside that range. With this approach, we can bound the number of individual characters allowed without sacrificing much. This patch allows at most 100000 individual characters, which I believe to be more than the number of case pairs existing in Unicode, so that the restriction will never be hit in practice. It's still possible for range() to take awhile given a large character code range, so also add statement-cancel detection to its loop. The downstream function dovec() also lacked cancel detection, and could take a long time given a large output from range(). Per fuzz testing by Greg Stark. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Force certain "pljava" custom GUCs to be PGC_SUSET.Noah Misch2016-02-05

* In pg_dump, ensure that view triggers are processed after view rules.Tom Lane2016-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a view is split into CREATE TABLE + CREATE RULE to break a circular dependency, then any triggers on the view must be dumped/reloaded after the CREATE RULE; else the backend may reject the CREATE TRIGGER because it's the wrong type of trigger for a plain table. This works all right in plain dump/restore because of pg_dump's sorting heuristic that places triggers after rules. However, when using parallel restore, the ordering must be enforced by a dependency --- and we didn't have one. Fixing this is a mere matter of adding an addObjectDependency() call, except that we need to be able to find all the triggers belonging to the view relation, and there was no easy way to do that. Add fields to pg_dump's TableInfo struct to remember where the associated TriggerInfo struct(s) are. Per bug report from Dennis Kögel. The failure can be exhibited at least as far back as 9.1, so back-patch to all supported branches.
