Peter Eisentraut authoredAn LDAP URL without a host name such as "ldap://" or without a base DN such as "ldap://localhost" would cause a crash when reading pg_hba.conf. If no binddn is configured, an error message might end up trying to print a null pointer, which could crash on some platforms.

Robert Haas authoredHash partitioning is useful when you want to partition a growing data set evenly. This can be useful to keep table sizes reasonable, which makes maintenance operations such as VACUUM faster, or to enable partition-wise join. At present, we still depend on constraint exclusion for partitioning pruning, and the shape of the partition constraints for hash partitioning is such that that doesn't work. Work is underway to fix that, which should both improve performance and make partitioning pruning work with hash partitioning. Amul Sul, reviewed and tested by Dilip Kumar, Ashutosh Bapat, Yugo Nagata, Rajkumar Raghuwanshi, Jesper Pedersen, and by me. A few final tweaks also by me.

Tom Lane authoredUp to now, ACL checks for large objects happened at the level of the SQL-callable functions, which led to CVE-2017-7548 because of a missing check. Push them down to be enforced in inv_api.c as much as possible, in hopes of preventing future bugs. This does have the effect of moving read and write permission errors to happen at lo_open time not loread or lowrite time, but that seems acceptable.

Tom Lane authoredWhile it's generally unwise to give permissions on these functions to anyone but a superuser, we've been moving away from hard-wired permission checks inside functions in favor of using the SQL permission system to control access. Bring lo_import() and lo_export() into compliance with that approach. In particular, this removes the manual configuration option ALLOW_DANGEROUS_LO_FUNCTIONS. That dates back to 1999 (commit 4cd4a54c); it's unlikely anyone has used it in many years. Moreover, if you really want such behavior, now you can get it with GRANT ... TO PUBLIC instead.

Tom Lane authoredSomebody messed up a refactoring here. As it stood, we'd check pg_ctl's --version output twice for each cluster. Worse, the first check for the new cluster's version happened before we'd done any validate_exec checks there, breaking the check ordering the code intended. A.

Tom Lane authoredUpon further review, our Bonjour code doesn't actually work with the Avahi not-too-compatible compatibility library. While you can get it to work on non-macOS platforms if you link to Apple's own mDNSResponder code, there don't seem to be many people who care about that. Leaving in the AC_SEARCH_LIBS call seems more likely to encourage people to build broken configurations than to do anything very useful. Hence, remove the AC_SEARCH_LIBS call and put in a warning comment instead. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2D8331C5-D64F-44C1-8717-63EDC6EAF7EB@brightforge.com

Tom Lane authoredThe point of having separate ResourceOwnerEnlargeFoo and ResourceOwnerRememberFoo functions is so that resource allocation can happen in between. Doing it in some other order is just wrong. OpenTemporaryFile() did open(), enlarge, remember, which would leak the open file if the enlarge step ran out of memory. Because fd.c has its own layer of resource-remembering, the consequences look like they'd be limited to an intratransaction FD leak, but it's still not good. IncrBufferRefCount() did enlarge, remember, incr-refcount, which would blow up if the incr-refcount step ever failed. It was safe enough when written, but since the introduction of PrivateRefCountHash, I think the assumption that no error could happen there is pretty shaky. The odds of real problems from either bug are probably small, but still, back-patch to supported branches. Thomas Munro and Tom Lane, per a comment from Andres Freund

Peter Eisentraut authoredThe lower case spellings are C and C++ standard and are used in most parts of the PostgreSQL sources. The upper case spellings are only used in some files/modules. So standardize on the standard spellings. The APIs for ICU, Perl, and Windows define their own TRUE and FALSE, so those are left as is when using those APIs. In code comments, we use the lower-case spelling for the C concepts and keep the upper-case spelling for the SQL concepts. Reviewed-by:Michael Paquier <michael.paquier@gmail.com>

Noah Misch authoredBy default, $PGUSER has permission to unlink $PGLOG. If $PGUSER replaces $PGLOG with a symbolic link, the server will corrupt the link-targeted file by appending log messages. Since these scripts open $PGLOG as root, the attack works regardless of target file ownership. "make install" does not install these scripts anywhere. Users having manually installed them in the past should repeat that process to acquire this fix. Most script users have $PGLOG writable to root only, located in $PGDATA. Just before updating one of these scripts, such users should rename $PGLOG to $PGLOG.old. The script will then recreate $PGLOG with proper ownership. Reviewed by Peter Eisentraut.

Dean Rasheed authoredThe update path of an INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE requires SELECT permission on the columns of the arbiter index, but it failed to check for that in the case of an arbiter specified by constraint name. In addition, for a table with row level security enabled, it failed to check updated rows against the table's SELECT policies when the update path was taken (regardless of how the arbiter index was specified). Backpatch to 9.5 where ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE and RLS were introduced. Security: CVE-2017-15099

Noah Misch authoredMakefile.global assigns this prerequisite to every target named "check", but similar targets must mention it explicitly. Affected targets failed, tested $PATH binaries, or tested a stale temporary installation. The src/test/modules examples worked properly when called as "make -C src/test/modules/$FOO check", but "make -j" allowed the test to start before the temporary installation was in place. Back-patch to 9.5, where commit dcae5fac introduced the shared temp-install.

Tom Lane authoredThere doesn't seem to be any good reason to do the filling of the itemidbase[] array separately from the first traversal of the pointers. It's certainly not a win if there are any line pointers with storage, and even if there aren't, this change doesn't insert code into the part of the first loop that will be traversed in that case. So let's just merge the two loops. Yura Sokolov, reviewed by Claudio Freire Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/e49befcc6f1d7099834c6fdf5c675a60@postgrespro.ru

Tom Lane authoredbtree, hash, and bloom indexes all set up their metapages in standard format (that is, with pd_lower and pd_upper correctly delimiting the unused area); but they mostly didn't inform the xlog routines of this. When calling log_newpage[_buffer], this is bad because it loses the opportunity to compress unused data out of the WAL record. When calling XLogRegisterBuffer, it's not such a performance problem because all of these call sites also use REGBUF_WILL_INIT, preventing an FPI image from being written. But it's still a good idea to provide the flag when relevant, because that aids WAL consistency checking. This completes the project of getting all the in-core index AMs to handle their metapage WAL operations similarly.
