Security: CVE-2014-0067
If the called command fails to return data, runShellCommand forgot to
pclose() the pipe before returning. This is fairly harmless in the current
code, because pgbench would then abandon further processing of that client
thread; so no more than nclients descriptors could be leaked this way. But
it's not hard to imagine future improvements whereby that wouldn't be true.
In any case, it's sloppy coding, so patch all branches. Found by Coverity.
Mark Simonetti reported that libxslt sometimes crashes for him, and that
swapping xslt_process's object-freeing calls around to do them in reverse
order of creation seemed to fix it. I've not reproduced the crash, but
valgrind clearly shows a reference to already-freed memory, which is
consistent with the idea that shutdown of the xsltTransformContext is
trying to reference the already-freed stylesheet or input document.
With this patch, valgrind is no longer unhappy.
I have an inquiry in to see if this is a libxslt bug or if we're just
abusing the library; but even if it's a library bug, we'd want to adjust
our code so it doesn't fail with unpatched libraries.
Back-patch to all supported branches, because we've been doing this in
the wrong(?) order for a long time.
This fixes a scenario in which pgp_sym_decrypt() failed with "Wrong key
or corrupt data" on messages whose length is 6 less than a power of 2.
Per bug #11905 from Connor Penhale. Fix by Marko Tiikkaja, regression
test case from Jeff Janes.
In general, datatype I/O functions are supposed to be immutable or at
worst stable. Some contrib I/O functions were, through oversight, not
marked with any volatility property at all, which made them VOLATILE.
Since (most of) these functions actually behave immutably, the erroneous
marking isn't terribly harmful; but it can be user-visible in certain
circumstances, as per a recent bug report from Joe Van Dyk in which a
cast to text was disallowed in an expression index definition.
To fix, just adjust the declarations in the extension SQL scripts. If we
were being very fussy about this, we'd bump the extension version numbers,
but that seems like more trouble (for both developers and users) than the
problem is worth.
A fly in the ointment is that chkpass_in actually is volatile, because
of its use of random() to generate a fresh salt when presented with a
not-yet-encrypted password. This is bad because of the general assumption
that I/O functions aren't volatile: the consequence is that records or
arrays containing chkpass elements may have input behavior a bit different
from a bare chkpass column. But there seems no way to fix this without
breaking existing usage patterns for chkpass, and the consequences of the
inconsistency don't seem bad enough to justify that. So for the moment,
just document it in a comment.
Since we're not bumping version numbers, there seems no harm in
back-patching these fixes; at least future installations will get the
functions marked correctly.
pgp_sym_encrypt's option is spelled "sess-key", not "enable-session-key".
Spotted by Jeff Janes.
In passing, improve a comment in pgp-pgsql.c to make it clearer that
the debugging options are intentionally undocumented.
If the locale names are not equal, try to canonicalize both of them by
passing them to setlocale(). Before, we only canonicalized the old cluster's
locale if upgrading from a 8.4-9.2 server, but we also need to canonicalize
when upgrading from a pre-8.4 server. That was an oversight in the code. But
we should also canonicalize on newer server versions, so that we cope if the
canonical form changes from one release to another. I'm about to do just
that to fix bug #11431, by mapping a locale name that contains non-ASCII
characters to a pure-ASCII alias of the same locale.
This is partial backpatch of commit 33755e8edf149dabfc0ed9b697a84f70b0cca0de
in master. Apply to 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4. The canonicalization code didn't exist
before 9.2. In 9.2 and 9.3, this effectively also back-patches the changes
from commit 58274728fb8e087049df67c0eee903d9743fdeda, to be more lax about
the spelling of the encoding in the locale names.
Up to now, PG has assumed that any given timezone abbreviation (such as
"EDT") represents a constant GMT offset in the usage of any particular
region; we had a way to configure what that offset was, but not for it
to be changeable over time. But, as with most things horological, this
view of the world is too simplistic: there are numerous regions that have
at one time or another switched to a different GMT offset but kept using
the same timezone abbreviation. Almost the entire Russian Federation did
that a few years ago, and later this month they're going to do it again.
And there are similar examples all over the world.
To cope with this, invent the notion of a "dynamic timezone abbreviation",
which is one that is referenced to a particular underlying timezone
(as defined in the IANA timezone database) and means whatever it currently
means in that zone. For zones that use or have used daylight-savings time,
the standard and DST abbreviations continue to have the property that you
can specify standard or DST time and get that time offset whether or not
DST was theoretically in effect at the time. However, the abbreviations
mean what they meant at the time in question (or most recently before that
time) rather than being absolutely fixed.
The standard abbreviation-list files have been changed to use this behavior
for abbreviations that have actually varied in meaning since 1970. The
old simple-numeric definitions are kept for abbreviations that have not
changed, since they are a bit faster to resolve.
While this is clearly a new feature, it seems necessary to back-patch it
into all active branches, because otherwise use of Russian zone
abbreviations is going to become even more problematic than it already was.
This change supersedes the changes in commit 513d06ded et al to modify the
fixed meanings of the Russian abbreviations; since we've not shipped that
yet, this will avoid an undesirably incompatible (not to mention incorrect)
change in behavior for timestamps between 2011 and 2014.
This patch makes some cosmetic changes in ecpglib to keep its usage of
datetime lookup tables as similar as possible to the backend code, but
doesn't do anything about the increasingly obsolete set of timezone
abbreviation definitions that are hard-wired into ecpglib. Whatever we
do about that will likely not be appropriate material for back-patching.
Also, a potential free() of a garbage pointer after an out-of-memory
failure in ecpglib has been fixed.
This patch also fixes pre-existing bugs in DetermineTimeZoneOffset() that
caused it to produce unexpected results near a timezone transition, if
both the "before" and "after" states are marked as standard time. We'd
only ever thought about or tested transitions between standard and DST
time, but that's not what's happening when a zone simply redefines their
base GMT offset.
In passing, update the SGML documentation to refer to the Olson/zoneinfo/
zic timezone database as the "IANA" database, since it's now being
maintained under the auspices of IANA.
This has been broken since commit af7914c6627bcf0b0ca614e9ce95d3f8056602bf,
which added the EXPLAIN (TIMING) option. Although that commit included
updates to auto_explain, they evidently weren't tested very carefully,
because the code failed to print node timings even when it should, due to
failure to set es.timing in the ExplainState struct. Reported off-list by
Neelakanth Nadgir of Salesforce.
In passing, clean up the documentation for auto_explain's options a
little bit, including re-ordering them into what seems to me a more
logical order.
In commit 45e02e3232ac7cc5ffe36f7986159b5e0b1f6fdc, we intentionally
disallowed updates on individual elements of oidvector columns. While that
still seems like a sane idea in the abstract, we (I) forgot that citext's
"upgrade from unpackaged" script did in fact perform exactly such updates,
in order to fix the problem that citext indexes should have a collation
but would not in databases dumped or upgraded from pre-9.1 installations.
Even if we wanted to add casts to allow such updates, there's no practical
way to do so in the back branches, so the only real alternative is to make
citext's kluge even klugier. In this patch, I cast the oidvector to text,
fix its contents with regexp_replace, and cast back to oidvector. (Ugh!)
Since the aforementioned commit went into all active branches, we have to
fix this in all branches that contain the now-broken update script.

get_raw_page tried to validate the supplied block number against
RelationGetNumberOfBlocks(), which of course is only right when
accessing the main fork. In most cases, the main fork is longer
than the others, so that the check was too weak (allowing a
lower-level error to be reported, but no real harm to be done).
However, very small tables could have an FSM larger than their heap,
in which case the mistake prevented access to some FSM pages.
Per report from Torsten Foertsch.
In passing, make the bad-block-number error into an ereport not elog
(since it's certainly not an internal error); and fix sloppily
maintained comment for RelationGetNumberOfBlocksInFork.
This has been wrong since we invented relation forks, so back-patch

Previously, when calculations on the need for toast tables changed,
pg_upgrade could not handle cases where the new cluster needed a TOAST

case.) This fixes the "OID mismatch" error typically generated in this
case.
Backpatch through 9.2
The output buffer size in unaccent_lexize() was calculated as input string
length times pg_database_encoding_max_length(), which effectively assumes
that replacement strings aren't more than one character. While that was
all that we previously documented it to support, the code actually has
always allowed replacement strings of arbitrary length; so if you tried
to make use of longer strings, you were at risk of buffer overrun. To fix,
use an expansible StringInfo buffer instead of trying to determine the
maximum space needed a-priori.
This would be a security issue if unaccent rules files could be installed
by unprivileged users; but fortunately they can't, so in the back branches
the problem can be labeled as improper configuration by a superuser.
Nonetheless, a memory stomp isn't a nice way of reacting to improper
configuration, so let's back-patch the fix.
This function continued to use it after heap_endscan() freed it. In
passing, don't explicit create a strategy here. Instead, use the one
created by heap_beginscan_strat(), if any. Back-patch to 9.2, where use
of a BufferAccessStrategy here was introduced.
dblink uses a short-lived data conversion memory context. However it
was not deleted when no longer needed, leading to a noticeable memory
leak under some circumstances. Plug the hole, along with minor
refactoring. Backpatch to 9.2 where the leak was introduced.

Any OS user able to access the socket can connect as the bootstrap
superuser and proceed to execute arbitrary code as the OS user running
the test. Protect against that by placing the socket in a temporary,
mode-0700 subdirectory of /tmp. The pg_regress-based test suites and
the pg_upgrade test suite were vulnerable; the $(prove_check)-based test
suites were already secure. Back-patch to 8.4 (all supported versions).
The hazard remains wherever the temporary cluster accepts TCP
connections, notably on Windows.
As a convenient side effect, this lets testing proceed smoothly in
builds that override DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR. Popular non-default values
like /var/run/postgresql are often unwritable to the build user.
Security: CVE-2014-0067
The original coding in contrib/uuid-ossp created and destroyed a uuid_t
object (or, in some cases, even two of them) each time it was called.
This is not the intended usage: you're supposed to keep the uuid_t object
around so that the library can cache its state across uses. (Other UUID
libraries seem to keep equivalent state behind-the-scenes in static
variables, but OSSP chose differently.) Aside from being quite inefficient,
creating a new uuid_t loses knowledge of the previously generated UUID,
which in theory could result in duplicate V1-style UUIDs being created
on sufficiently fast machines.
On at least some platforms, creating a new uuid_t also draws some entropy
from /dev/urandom, leaving less for the rest of the system. This seems
sufficiently unpleasant to justify back-patching this change.
This reverts commit 867363cbcbc3d0ccac813a74fbc8236d8873c266.
It turns out that the %name-prefix syntax without "=" does not work
at all in pre-2.4 Bison. We are not prepared to make such a large
jump in minimum required Bison version just to suppress a warning
message in a version hardly any developers are using yet.
When 3.0 gets more popular, we'll figure out a way to deal with this.
In the meantime, BISONFLAGS=-Wno-deprecated is recommendable for
anyone using 3.0 who doesn't want to see the warning.
%name-prefix doesn't use an "=" sign according to the Bison docs, but it
silently accepted one anyway, until Bison 3.0. This was originally a
typo of mine in commit 012abebab1bc72043f3f670bf32e91ae4ee04bd2, and we
seem to have slavishly copied the error into all the other grammar files.

On Mingw, it seems that scanf() doesn't necessarily accept the same format
codes that printf() does, and in particular it may fail to recognize %llu
even though printf() does. Since configure only probes printf() behavior
while setting up the INT64_FORMAT macros, this means it's unsafe to use
those macros with scanf(). We had only one instance of such a coding
pattern, in contrib/pg_stat_statements, so change that code to avoid
the problem.
Per buildfarm warnings. Back-patch to 9.0 where the troublesome code

The code expands a varbit gist leaf key to a node key by copying the bit
data twice in a varlen datum, as both the lower and upper key. The lower key
was expanded to INTALIGN size, but the padding bytes were not initialized.
That's a problem because when the lower/upper keys are compared, the padding
bytes are used compared too, when the values are otherwise equal. That could
lead to incorrect query results.
REINDEX is advised for any btree_gist indexes on bit or bit varying data
type, to fix any garbage padding bytes on disk.

pgss_post_parse_analyze() neglected to pass the call on to any earlier

Attempts to run "make check" from a directory with a long name will now

I discovered the hard way that on some old shells, the locution
FOO="" unset FOO

FOO=""; unset FOO
and in fact leaves FOO set to an empty string. test.sh was inconsistently
spelling it different ways on adjacent lines.
This got broken relatively recently, in commit c737a2e56, so the lack of
field reports to date doesn't represent a lot of evidence that the problem
is rare.
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()
Several functions, mostly type input functions, calculated an allocation
size such that the calculation wrapped to a small positive value when
arguments implied a sufficiently-large requirement. Writes past the end
of the inadvertent small allocation followed shortly thereafter.
Coverity identified the path_in() vulnerability; code inspection led to
the rest. In passing, add check_stack_depth() to prevent stack overflow

Allow for the possibility that folding a string to lower case makes it

The NetBSD shell apparently returns non-zero from an unset command if

These modules used the YYPARSE_PARAM macro, which has been deprecated

unsightly casting.

Windows sometimes gets upset if we rename a large directory and then try
