      Make relation-enumerating operations be security-restricted operations. · ab49ce7c
      Noah Misch authored
      When a feature enumerates relations and runs functions associated with
      all found relations, the feature's user shall not need to trust every
      user having permission to create objects.  BRIN-specific functionality
      in autovacuum neglected to account for this, as did pg_amcheck and
      CLUSTER.  An attacker having permission to create non-temp objects in at
      least one schema could execute arbitrary SQL functions under the
      identity of the bootstrap superuser.  CREATE INDEX (not a
      relation-enumerating operation) and REINDEX protected themselves too
      late.  This change extends to the non-enumerating amcheck interface.
      Back-patch to v10 (all supported versions).

      Disable 031_recovery_conflict.pl until after minor releases. · 55e5a5e0
      Andres Freund authored
      f40d362a disabled part of 031_recovery_conflict.pl due to instability
      that's not trivial to fix in the back branches. That fixed most of the
      issues. But there was one more failure (on lapwing / REL_10_STABLE).
      
      That failure looks like it might be caused by a genuine problem. Disable the
      test until after the set of releases, to avoid packagers etc potentially
      having to fight with a test failure they can't do anything about.

      Disable asynchronous execution if using gating Result nodes. · ebb79024
      Etsuro Fujita authored
      mark_async_capable_plan(), which is called from create_append_plan() to
      determine whether subplans are async-capable, failed to take into
      account that the given subplan created from a given subpath might
      include a gating Result node if the subpath is a SubqueryScanPath or
      ForeignPath, causing a segmentation fault there when the subplan created
      from a SubqueryScanPath includes the Result node, or causing
      ExecAsyncRequest() to throw an error about an unrecognized node type
      when the subplan created from a ForeignPath includes the Result node,
      because in the latter case the Result node was unintentionally
      considered as async-capable, but we don't currently support executing
      Result nodes asynchronously.  Fix by modifying mark_async_capable_plan()
      to disable asynchronous execution in such cases.  Also, adjust code in
      the ProjectionPath case in mark_async_capable_plan(), for consistency
      with other cases, and adjust/improve comments there.
      
      is_async_capable_path() added in commit 27e1f145, which was rewritten
      to mark_async_capable_plan() in a later commit, has the same issue,
      causing the error at execution mentioned above, so back-patch to v14
      where the aforesaid commit went in.

      Remove inadequate assertion check in CTE inlining. · da22ef38
      Tom Lane authored
      inline_cte() expected to find exactly as many references to the
      target CTE as its cterefcount indicates.  While that should be
      accurate for the tree as emitted by the parser, there are some
      optimizations that occur upstream of here that could falsify it,
      notably removal of unused subquery output expressions.
      
      Trying to make the accounting 100% accurate seems expensive and
      doomed to future breakage.  It's not really worth it, because
      all this code is protecting is downstream assumptions that every
      referenced CTE has a plan.  Let's convert those assertions to
      regular test-and-elog just in case there's some actual problem,
      and then drop the failing assertion.
      
      Per report from Tomas Vondra (thanks also to Richard Guo for
      analysis).  Back-patch to v12 where the faulty code came in.

      Support new perl module namespace in stable branches · b235d41d
      Andrew Dunstan authored
      Commit b3b4d8e68a moved our perl test modules to a better namespace
      structure, but this has made life hard for people wishing to backpatch
      improvements in the TAP tests. Here we alleviate much of that difficulty
      by implementing the new module names on top of the old modules, mostly
      by using a little perl typeglob aliasing magic, so that we don't have a
      dual maintenance burden. This should work both for the case where a new
      test is backpatched and the case where a fix to an existing test that
      uses the new namespace is backpatched.

      Fix CLUSTER tuplesorts on abbreviated expressions. · e4521841
      Peter Geoghegan authored
      CLUSTER sort won't use the datum1 SortTuple field when clustering
      against an index whose leading key is an expression.  This makes it
      unsafe to use the abbreviated keys optimization, which was missed by the
      logic that sets up SortSupport state.  Affected tuplesorts output tuples
      in a completely bogus order as a result (the wrong SortSupport based
      comparator was used for the leading attribute).
      
      This issue is similar to the bug fixed on the master branch by recent
      commit cc58eecc5d.  But it's a far older issue, that dates back to the
      introduction of the abbreviated keys optimization by commit 4ea51cdf.

      Allow db.schema.table patterns, but complain about random garbage. · 4a66300a
      Robert Haas authored
      psql, pg_dump, and pg_amcheck share code to process object name
      patterns like 'foo*.bar*' to match all tables with names starting in
      'bar' that are in schemas starting with 'foo'. Before v14, any number
      of extra name parts were silently ignored, so a command line '\d
      foo.bar.baz.bletch.quux' was interpreted as '\d bletch.quux'.  In v14,
      as a result of commit 2c8726c4, we
      instead treated this as a request for table quux in a schema named
      'foo.bar.baz.bletch'. That caused problems for people like Justin
      Pryzby who were accustomed to copying strings of the form
      db.schema.table from messages generated by PostgreSQL itself and using
      them as arguments to \d.
      
      Accordingly, revise things so that if an object name pattern contains
      more parts than we're expecting, we throw an error, unless there's
      exactly one extra part and it matches the current database name.
      That way, thisdb.myschema.mytable is accepted as meaning just
      myschema.mytable, but otherdb.myschema.mytable is an error, and so
      is some.random.garbage.myschema.mytable.

      Tom Lane authored
      Don't try to look at the attidentity field of system attributes,
      because they're not there in the TupleDescAttr array.  Sometimes
      this is harmless because we accidentally pick up a zero, but
      otherwise we'll report "no owned sequence found" from an attempt
      to alter a system attribute.  (It seems possible that a SIGSEGV
      could occur, too, though I've not seen it in testing.)
      
      It's not in this function's charter to complain that you can't
      alter a system column, so instead just hard-wire an assumption
      that system attributes aren't identities.  I didn't bother with
      a regression test because the appearance of the bug is very

      Fix race in TAP test 002_archiving.pl when restoring history file · 8bcf90c7
      Michael Paquier authored
      This test, introduced in df86e52c, uses a second standby to check that
      it is able to remove correctly RECOVERYHISTORY and RECOVERYXLOG at the
      end of recovery.  This standby uses the archives of the primary to
      restore its contents, with some of the archive's contents coming from
      the first standby previously promoted.  In slow environments, it was
      possible that the test did not check what it should, as the history file
      generated by the promotion of the first standby may not be stored yet on
      the archives the second standby feeds on.  So, it could be possible that
      the second standby selects an incorrect timeline, without restoring a
      history file at all.
      
      This commits adds a wait phase to make sure that the history file
      required by the second standby is archived before this cluster is
      created.  This relies on poll_query_until() with pg_stat_file() and an
      absolute path, something not supported in REL_10_STABLE.
      
      While on it, this adds a new test to check that the history file has
      been restored by looking at the logs of the second standby.  This
      ensures that a RECOVERYHISTORY, whose removal needs to be checked,
      is created in the first place.  This should make the test more robust.
      
      This test has been introduced by df86e52c, but it came in light as an
      effect of the bug fixed by acf1dd42, where the extra restore_command
      calls made the test much slower.

      Rethink the delay-checkpoint-end mechanism in the back-branches. · 10520f43
      Robert Haas authored
      The back-patch of commit bbace569 had
      the unfortunate effect of changing the layout of PGPROC in the
      back-branches, which could break extensions. This happened because it
      changed the delayChkpt from type bool to type int. So, change it back,
      and add a new bool delayChkptEnd field instead. The new field should
      fall within what used to be padding space within the struct, and so
      hopefully won't cause any extensions to break.

      pageinspect: Fix handling of all-zero pages · df6bbe73
      Michael Paquier authored
      Getting from get_raw_page() an all-zero page is considered as a valid
      case by the buffer manager and it can happen for example when finding a
      corrupted page with zero_damaged_pages enabled (using zero_damaged_pages
      to look at corrupted pages happens), or after a crash when a relation
      file is extended before any WAL for its new data is generated (before a
      vacuum or autovacuum job comes in to do some cleanup).
      
      However, all the functions of pageinspect, as of the index AMs (except
      hash that has its own idea of new pages), heap, the FSM or the page
      header have never worked with all-zero pages, causing various crashes
      when going through the page internals.
      
      This commit changes all the pageinspect functions to be compliant with
      all-zero pages, where the choice is made to return NULL or no rows for
      SRFs when finding a new page.  get_raw_page() still works the same way,
      returning a batch of zeros in the bytea of the page retrieved.  A hard
      error could be used but NULL, while more invasive, is useful when
      scanning relation files in full to get a batch of results for a single
      relation in one query.  Tests are added for all the code paths
      impacted.

      Prevent access to no-longer-pinned buffer in heapam_tuple_lock(). · c590e514
      Tom Lane authored
      heap_fetch() used to have a "keep_buf" parameter that told it to return
      ownership of the buffer pin to the caller after finding that the
      requested tuple TID exists but is invisible to the specified snapshot.
      This was thoughtlessly removed in commit 5db6df0c, which broke
      heapam_tuple_lock() (formerly EvalPlanQualFetch) because that function
      needs to do more accesses to the tuple even if it's invisible.  The net
      effect is that we would continue to touch the page for a microsecond or
      two after releasing pin on the buffer.  Usually no harm would result;
      but if a different session decided to defragment the page concurrently,
      we could see garbage data and mistakenly conclude that there's no newer
      tuple version to chain up to.  (It's hard to say whether this has
      happened in the field.  The bug was actually found thanks to a later
      change that allowed valgrind to detect accesses to non-pinned buffers.)
      
      The most reasonable way to fix this is to reintroduce keep_buf,
      although I made it behave slightly differently: buffer ownership
      is passed back only if there is a valid tuple at the requested TID.
      In HEAD, we can just add the parameter back to heap_fetch().
      To avoid an API break in the back branches, introduce an additional
      function heap_fetch_extended() in those branches.
      
      In HEAD there is an additional, less obvious API change: tuple->t_data
      will be set to NULL in all cases where buffer ownership is not returned,
      in particular when the tuple exists but fails the time qual (and
      !keep_buf).  This is to defend against any other callers attempting to
      access non-pinned buffers.  We concluded that making that change in back
      branches would be more likely to introduce problems than cure any.
      
      In passing, remove a comment about heap_fetch that was obsoleted by
      9a8ee1dc.
