* Backpatch nbtree page deletion hardening.Peter Geoghegan2022-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Postgres 14 commit 5b861baa taught nbtree VACUUM to tolerate buggy opclasses. VACUUM's inability to locate a to-be-deleted page's downlink in the parent page was logged instead of throwing an error. VACUUM could just press on with vacuuming the index, and vacuuming the table as a whole. There are now anecdotal reports of this error causing problems that were much more disruptive than the underlying index corruption ever could be. Anything that makes VACUUM unable to make forward progress against one table/index ultimately risks making the system enter xidStopLimit mode. There is no good reason to take any chances here, so backpatch the hardening commit.

* Fix oversight in recent MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK fix.Tom Lane2022-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commits 3f7323cbb et al missed the possibility that the Params they are looking for could be buried under implicit coercions, as well as other stuff that processIndirection() could add to the original targetlist entry. Copy the code in ruleutils.c that deals with such cases. (I thought about refactoring so that there's just one copy; but seeing that we only need this in old back branches, it seems not worth the trouble.) Per off-list report from Andre Lin. As before, only v10-v13 need the patch. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17596-c5357f61427a81dc@postgresql.org
* Fix some possibly latent bugs in slab.cDavid Rowley2022-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Primarily, this fixes an incorrect calculation in SlabCheck which was looking in the wrong byte for the sentinel check. The reason that we've never noticed this before in the form of a failing sentinel check is because the pre-check to this always fails because all current core users of slab contexts have a chunk size which is already MAXALIGNed, therefore there's never any space for the sentinel byte. It is possible that an extension needs to use a slab context and if they do with a chunk size that's not MAXALIGNed, then they'll likely get errors about overwritten sentinel bytes. Additionally, this patch changes various calculations which are being done based on the sizeof(SlabBlock). Currently, sizeof(SlabBlock) is a multiple of 8, therefore sizeof(SlabBlock) is the same as MAXALIGN(sizeof(SlabBlock)), however, if we were to ever have to add any fields to that struct as part of a bug fix, then SlabAlloc could end up returning a non-MAXALIGNed pointer. To be safe, let's ensure we always MAXALIGN sizeof(SlabBlock) before using it in any calculations. This patch has already been applied to master in d5ee4db0e.

* Prevent long-term memory leakage in autovacuum launcher.Tom Lane2022-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | get_database_list() failed to restore the caller's memory context, instead leaving current context set to TopMemoryContext which is how CommitTransactionCommand() leaves it. The callers both think they are using short-lived contexts, for the express purpose of not having to worry about cleaning up individual allocations. The net effect therefore is that supposedly short-lived allocations could accumulate indefinitely in the launcher's TopMemoryContext. Although this has been broken for a long time, it seems we didn't have any obvious memory leak here until v15's rearrangement of the stats logic. I (tgl) am not entirely convinced that there's no other leak at all, though, and we're surely at risk of adding one in future back-patched fixes. So back-patch to all supported branches, even though this may be only a latent bug in pre-v15.

* In the Snowball dictionary, don't try to stem excessively-long words.Tom Lane2022-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the input word exceeds 1000 bytes, don't pass it to the stemmer; just return it as-is after case folding. Such an input is surely not a word in any human language, so whatever the stemmer might do to it would be pretty dubious in the first place. Adding this restriction protects us against a known recursion-to-stack-overflow problem in the Turkish stemmer, and it seems like good insurance against any other safety or performance issues that may exist in the Snowball stemmers. (I note, for example, that they contain no CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS calls, so we really don't want them running for a long time.) The threshold of 1000 bytes is arbitrary. An alternative definition could have been to treat such words as stopwords, but that seems like a bigger break from the old behavior. Per report from Egor Chindyaskin and Alexander Lakhin. Thanks to Olly Betts for the recommendation to fix it this way. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1661334672.728714027@f473.i.mail.ru
* On NetBSD, force dynamic symbol resolution at postmaster start.Tom Lane2022-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The default of lazy symbol resolution means that when the postmaster first reaches the select() call in ServerLoop, it'll need to resolve the link to that libc entry point. NetBSD's dynamic loader takes an internal lock while doing that, and if a signal interrupts the operation then there is a risk of self-deadlock should the signal handler do anything that requires that lock, as several of the postmaster signal handlers do. The window for this is pretty narrow, and timing considerations make it unlikely that a signal would arrive right then anyway. But it's semi-repeatable on slow single-CPU machines, and in principle the race could happen with any hardware. The least messy solution to this is to force binding of dynamic symbols at postmaster start, using the "-z now" linker option. While we're at it, also use "-z relro" so as to provide a small security gain. It's not entirely clear whether any other platforms share this issue, but for now we'll assume it's NetBSD-specific. (We might later try to use "-z now" on more platforms for performance reasons, but that would not likely be something to back-patch.) Report and patch by me; the idea to fix it this way is from Andres Freund. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3384826.1661802235@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Prevent WAL corruption after a standby promotion.Robert Haas2022-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a PostgreSQL instance performing archive recovery but not using standby mode is promoted, and the last WAL segment that it attempted to read ended in a partial record, the previous code would create invalid WAL on the new timeline. The WAL from the previously timeline would be copied to the new timeline up until the end of the last valid record, but instead of beginning to write WAL at immediately afterwards, the promoted server would write an overwrite contrecord at the beginning of the next segment. The end of the previous segment would be left as all-zeroes, resulting in failures if anything tried to read WAL from that file. The root of the issue is that ReadRecord() decides whether to set abortedRecPtr and missingContrecPtr based on the value of StandbyMode, but ReadRecord() switches to a new timeline based on the value of ArchiveRecoveryRequested. We shouldn't try to write an overwrite contrecord if we're switching to a new timeline, so change the test in ReadRecod() to check ArchiveRecoveryRequested instead. Code fix by Dilip Kumar. Comments by me incorporating suggested language from Álvaro Herrera. Further review from Kyotaro Horiguchi and Sami Imseih.

* Repair rare failure of MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK subplans in inherited updates.Tom Lane2022-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prior to v14, if we have a MULTIEXPR SubPlan (that is, use of the syntax UPDATE ... SET (c1, ...) = (SELECT ...)) in an UPDATE with an inherited or partitioned target table, inheritance_planner() will clone the targetlist and therefore also the MULTIEXPR SubPlan and the Param nodes referencing it for each child target table. Up to now, we've allowed all the clones to share the underlying subplan as well as the output parameter IDs -- that is, the runtime ParamExecData slots. That technique is borrowed from the far older code that supports initplans, and it works okay in that case because the cloned SubPlan nodes are essentially identical. So it doesn't matter which one of the clones the shared ParamExecData.execPlan field might point to. However, this fails to hold for MULTIEXPR SubPlans, because they can have nonempty "args" lists (values to be passed into the subplan), and those lists could get mutated to different states in the various clones. In the submitted reproducer, as well as the test case added here, one clone contains Vars with varno OUTER_VAR where another has INNER_VAR, because the child tables are respectively on the outer or inner side of the join. Sharing the execPlan pointer can result in trying to evaluate an args list that doesn't match the local execution state, with mayhem ensuing. The result often is to trigger consistency checks in the executor, but I believe this could end in a crash or incorrect updates. To fix, assign new Param IDs to each of the cloned SubPlans, so that they don't share ParamExecData slots at runtime. It still seems fine for the clones to share the underlying subplan, and extra ParamExecData slots are cheap enough that this fix shouldn't cost much. This has been busted since we invented MULTIEXPR SubPlans in 9.5. Probably the lack of previous reports is because query plans in which the different clones of a MULTIEXPR mutate to effectively-different states are pretty rare. There's no issue in v14 and later, because without inheritance_planner() there's never a reason to clone MULTIEXPR SubPlans. Per bug #17596 from Andre Lin. Patch v10-v13 only.

* Defend against stack overrun in a few more places.Tom Lane2022-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SplitToVariants() in the ispell code, lseg_inside_poly() in geo_ops.c, and regex_selectivity_sub() in selectivity estimation could recurse until stack overflow; fix by adding check_stack_depth() calls. So could next() in the regex compiler, but that case is better fixed by converting its tail recursion to a loop. (We probably get better code that way too, since next() can now be inlined into its sole caller.) There remains a reachable stack overrun in the Turkish stemmer, but we'll need some advice from the Snowball people about how to fix that. Per report from Egor Chindyaskin and Alexander Lakhin. These mistakes are old, so back-patch to all supported branches. Richard Guo and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1661334672.728714027@f473.i.mail.ru

* Fix subtly-incorrect matching of parent and child partitioned indexes.Tom Lane2022-08-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When creating a partitioned index, DefineIndex tries to identify any existing indexes on the partitions that match the partitioned index, so that it can absorb those as child indexes instead of building new ones. Part of the matching is to compare IndexInfo structs --- but that wasn't done quite right. We're comparing the IndexInfo built within DefineIndex itself to one made from existing catalog contents by BuildIndexInfo. Notably, while BuildIndexInfo will run index expressions and predicates through expression preprocessing, that has not happened to DefineIndex's struct. The result is failure to match and subsequent creation of duplicate indexes. The easiest and most bulletproof fix is to build a new IndexInfo using BuildIndexInfo, thereby guaranteeing that the processing done is identical. While here, let's also extract the opfamily and collation data from the new partitioned index, removing ad-hoc logic that duplicated knowledge about how those are constructed. Per report from Christophe Pettus. Back-patch to v11 where we invented partitioned indexes. Richard Guo and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/8864BFAA-81FD-4BF9-8E06-7DEB8D4164ED@thebuild.com

* Add missing bad-PGconn guards in libpq entry points.Tom Lane2022-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a convention that externally-visible libpq functions should check for a NULL PGconn pointer, and fail gracefully instead of crashing. PQflush() and PQisnonblocking() didn't get that memo though. Also add a similar check to PQdefaultSSLKeyPassHook_OpenSSL; while it's not clear that ordinary usage could reach that with a null conn pointer, it's cheap enough to check, so let's be consistent.

* Preserve memory context of VarStringSortSupport buffers.Tom Lane2022-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When enlarging the work buffers of a VarStringSortSupport object, varstrfastcmp_locale was careful to keep them in the ssup_cxt memory context; but varstr_abbrev_convert just used palloc(). The latter creates a hazard that the buffers could be freed out from under the VarStringSortSupport object, resulting in stomping on whatever gets allocated in that memory later. In practice, because we only use this code for ICU collations (cf. 3df9c374e), the problem is confined to use of ICU collations. I believe it may have been unreachable before the introduction of incremental sort, too, as traditional sorting usually just uses one context for the duration of the sort. We could fix this by making the broken stanzas in varstr_abbrev_convert match the non-broken ones in varstrfastcmp_locale. However, it seems like a better idea to dodge the issue altogether by replacing the pfree-and-allocate-anew coding with repalloc, which automatically preserves the chunk's memory context. This fix does add a few cycles because repalloc will copy the chunk's content, which the existing coding assumes is useless. However, we don't expect that these buffer enlargement operations are performance-critical. Besides that, it's far from obvious that copying the buffer contents isn't required, since these stanzas make no effort to mark the buffers invalid by resetting last_returned, cache_blob, etc. That seems to be safe upon examination, but it's fragile and could easily get broken in future, which wouldn't get revealed in testing with short-to-moderate-size strings. Per bug #17584 from James Inform. Whether or not the issue is reachable in the older branches, this code has been broken on its own terms from its introduction, so patch all the way back.

* Avoid misbehavior when hash_table_bytes < bucket_size.Tom Lane2022-08-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's possible to reach this case when work_mem is very small and tupsize is (relatively) very large. In that case ExecChooseHashTableSize would get an assertion failure, or with asserts off it'd compute nbuckets = 0, which'd likely cause misbehavior later (I've not checked). To fix, clamp the number of buckets to be at least 1. This is due to faulty conversion of old my_log2() coding in 28d936031. Back-patch to v13, as that was.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most parts of the parser can expect that the stack overflow check in transformExprRecurse() will trigger before things get desperate.

* Fix catalog lookup with the wrong snapshot during logical decoding.Amit Kapila2022-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we relied on HEAP2_NEW_CID records and XACT_INVALIDATION records to know if the transaction has modified the catalog, and that information is not serialized to snapshot. Therefore, after the restart, if the logical decoding decodes only the commit record of the transaction that has actually modified a catalog, we will miss adding its XID to the snapshot. Thus, we will end up looking at catalogs with the wrong snapshot. To fix this problem, this changes the snapshot builder so that it remembers the last-running-xacts list of the decoded RUNNING_XACTS record after restoring the previously serialized snapshot. Then, we mark the transaction as containing catalog changes if it's in the list of initial running transactions and its commit record has XACT_XINFO_HAS_INVALS. To avoid ABI breakage, we store the array of the initial running transactions in the static variables InitialRunningXacts and NInitialRunningXacts, instead of storing those in SnapBuild or ReorderBuffer. This approach has a false positive; we could end up adding the transaction that didn't change catalog to the snapshot since we cannot distinguish whether the transaction has catalog changes only by checking the COMMIT record. It doesn't have the information on which (sub) transaction has catalog changes, and XACT_XINFO_HAS_INVALS doesn't necessarily indicate that the transaction has catalog change. But that won't be a problem since we use snapshot built during decoding only to read system catalogs. On the master branch, we took a more future-proof approach by writing catalog modifying transactions to the serialized snapshot which avoids the above false positive. But we cannot backpatch it because of a change in the SnapBuild.

From a performance standpoint, it'd be nice to skip this in the common case that the argument value is passed to only one callee.

* In extensions, don't replace objects not belonging to the extension.Tom Lane2022-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, if an extension script did CREATE OR REPLACE and there was an existing object not belonging to the extension, it would overwrite the object and adopt it into the extension. This is problematic, first because the overwrite is probably unintentional, and second because we didn't change the object's ownership. Thus a hostile user could create an object in advance of an expected CREATE EXTENSION command, and would then have ownership rights on an extension object, which could be modified for trojan-horse-type attacks. Hence, forbid CREATE OR REPLACE of an existing object unless it already belongs to the extension. (Note that we've always forbidden replacing an object that belongs to some other extension; only the behavior for previously-free-standing objects changes here.) For the same reason, also fail CREATE IF NOT EXISTS when there is an existing object that doesn't belong to the extension. Our thanks to Sven Klemm for reporting this problem. Security: CVE-2022-2625

* Fix ENABLE/DISABLE TRIGGER to handle recursion correctlyAlvaro Herrera2022-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using ATSimpleRecursion() in ATPrepCmd() to do so as bbb927b4db9b did is not correct, because ATPrepCmd() can't distinguish between triggers that may be cloned and those that may not, so would wrongly try to recurse for the latter category of triggers. So this commit restores the code in EnableDisableTrigger() that 86f575948c77 had added to do the recursion, which would do it only for triggers that may be cloned, that is, row-level triggers. This also changes tablecmds.c such that ATExecCmd() is able to pass the value of ONLY flag down to EnableDisableTrigger() using its new 'recurse' parameter. This also fixes what seems like an oversight of 86f575948c77 that the recursion to partition triggers would only occur if EnableDisableTrigger() had actually changed the trigger. It is more apt to recurse to inspect partition triggers even if the parent's trigger didn't need to be changed: only then can we be certain that all descendants share the same state afterwards. Backpatch all the way back to 11, like bbb927b4db9b. Care is taken not to break ABI compatibility (and that no catversion bump is needed.)

* Fix incorrect tests for SRFs in relation_can_be_sorted_early().Tom Lane2022-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit fac1b470a thought we could check for set-returning functions by testing only the top-level node in an expression tree. This is wrong in itself, and to make matters worse it encouraged others to make the same mistake, by exporting tlist.c's special-purpose IS_SRF_CALL() as a widely-visible macro. I can't find any evidence that anyone's taken the bait, but it was only a matter of time. Use expression_returns_set() instead, and stuff the IS_SRF_CALL() genie back in its bottle, this time with a warning label. I also added a couple of cross-reference comments. After a fair amount of fooling around, I've despaired of making a robust test case that exposes the bug reliably, so no test case here. (Note that the test case added by fac1b470a is itself broken, in that it doesn't notice if you remove the code change. The repro given by the bug submitter currently doesn't fail either in v15 or HEAD, though I suspect that may indicate an unrelated bug.) Per bug #17564 from Martijn van Oosterhout.

* Reduce test runtime of src/test/modules/snapshot_too_old.Tom Lane2022-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sto_using_cursor and sto_using_select tests were coded to exercise every permutation of their test steps, but AFAICS there is no value in exercising more than one. This matters because each permutation costs about six seconds, thanks to the "pg_sleep(6)". Perhaps we could reduce that, but the useless permutations seem worth getting rid of in any case. (Note that sto_using_hash_index got it right already.) While here, clean up some other sloppiness such as an unused table. This doesn't make too much difference in interactive testing, since the wasted time is typically masked by parallelization with other tests. However, the buildfarm runs this as a serial step, which means we can expect to shave ~40 seconds from every buildfarm run. That makes it worth back-patching.

* Check maximum number of columns in function RTEs, too.Tom Lane2022-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I thought commit fd96d14d9 had plugged all the holes of this sort, but no, function RTEs could produce oversize tuples too, either via long coldeflists or just from multiple functions in one RTE. (I'm pretty sure the other variants of base RTEs aren't a problem, because they ultimately refer to either a table or a sub-SELECT, whose widths are enforced elsewhere. But we explicitly allow join RTEs to be overwidth, as long as you don't try to form their tuple result.) Per further discussion of bug #17561. As before, patch all branches.

* In transformRowExpr(), check for too many columns in the row.Tom Lane2022-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A RowExpr with more than MaxTupleAttributeNumber columns would fail at execution anyway, since we cannot form a tuple datum with more than that many columns. While heap_form_tuple() has a check for too many columns, it emerges that there are some intermediate bits of code that don't check and can be driven to failure with sufficiently many columns. Checking this at parse time seems like the most appropriate place to install a defense, since we already check SELECT list length there. While at it, make the SELECT-list-length error use the same errcode (TOO_MANY_COLUMNS) as heap_form_tuple does, rather than the generic PROGRAM_LIMIT_EXCEEDED. Per bug #17561 from Egor Chindyaskin. The given test case crashes in all supported branches (and probably a lot further back), so patch all. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17561-80350151b9ad2ad4@postgresql.org

* Fix replay of create database records on standbyAlvaro Herrera2022-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Crash recovery on standby may encounter missing directories when replaying database-creation WAL records. Prior to this patch, the standby would fail to recover in such a case; however, the directories could be legitimately missing. Consider the following sequence of commands: CREATE DATABASE DROP DATABASE DROP TABLESPACE If, after replaying the last WAL record and removing the tablespace directory, the standby crashes and has to replay the create database record again, crash recovery must be able to continue. A fix for this problem was already attempted in 49d9cfc68bf4, but it was reverted because of design issues. This new version is based on Robert Haas' proposal: any missing tablespaces are created during recovery before reaching consistency. Tablespaces are created as real directories, and should be deleted by later replay. CheckRecoveryConsistency ensures they have disappeared. The problems detected by this new code are reported as PANIC, except when allow_in_place_tablespaces is set to ON, in which case they are WARNING. Apart from making tests possible, this gives users an escape hatch in case things don't go as planned.

* Force immediate commit after CREATE DATABASE etc in extended protocol.Tom Lane2022-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have a few commands that "can't run in a transaction block", meaning that if they complete their processing but then we fail to COMMIT, we'll be left with inconsistent on-disk state. However, the existing defenses for this are only watertight for simple query protocol. In extended protocol, we didn't commit until receiving a Sync message. Since the client is allowed to issue another command instead of Sync, we're in trouble if that command fails or is an explicit ROLLBACK. In any case, sitting in an inconsistent state while waiting for a client message that might not come seems pretty risky. This case wasn't reachable via libpq before we introduced pipeline mode, but it's always been an intended aspect of extended query protocol, and likely there are other clients that could reach it before. To fix, set a flag in PreventInTransactionBlock that tells exec_execute_message to force an immediate commit. This seems to be the approach that does least damage to existing working cases while still preventing the undesirable outcomes. While here, add some documentation to protocol.sgml that explicitly says how to use pipelining. That's latent in the existing docs if you know what to look for, but it's better to spell it out; and it provides a place to document this new behavior. Per bug #17434 from Yugo Nagata. It's been wrong for ages, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17434-d9f7a064ce2a88a3@postgresql.org
* Fix ruleutils issues with dropped cols in functions-returning-composite.Tom Lane2022-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to lack of concern for the case in the dependency code, it's possible to drop a column of a composite type even though stored queries have references to the dropped column via functions-in-FROM that return the composite type. There are "soft" references, namely FROM-clause aliases for such columns, and "hard" references, that is actual Vars referring to them. The right fix for hard references is to add dependencies preventing the drop; something we've known for many years and not done (and this commit still doesn't address it). A "soft" reference shouldn't prevent a drop though. We've been around on this before (cf. 9b35ddce9, 2c4debbd0), but nobody had noticed that the current behavior can result in dump/reload failures, because ruleutils.c can print more column aliases than the underlying composite type now has. So we need to rejigger the column-alias-handling code to treat such columns as dropped and not print aliases for them. Rather than writing new code for this, I used expandRTE() which already knows how to figure out which function result columns are dropped. I'd initially thought maybe we could use expandRTE() in all cases, but that fails for EXPLAIN's purposes, because the planner strips a lot of RTE infrastructure that expandRTE() needs. So this patch just uses it for unplanned function RTEs and otherwise does things the old way. If there is a hard reference (Var), then removing the column alias causes us to fail to print the Var, since there's no longer a name to print. Failing seems less desirable than printing a made-up name, so I made it print "?dropped?column?" instead. Per report from Timo Stolz. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix assertion failure and segmentation fault in backup code.Fujii Masao2022-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a non-exclusive backup is canceled, do_pg_abort_backup() is called and resets some variables set by pg_backup_start (pg_start_backup in v14 or before). But previously it forgot to reset the session state indicating whether a non-exclusive backup is in progress or not in this session. This issue could cause an assertion failure when the session running BASE_BACKUP is terminated after it executed pg_backup_start and pg_backup_stop (pg_stop_backup in v14 or before). Also it could cause a segmentation fault when pg_backup_stop is called after BASE_BACKUP in the same session is canceled. This commit fixes the issue by making do_pg_abort_backup reset that session state. Back-patch to all supported branches.
