The 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

The 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>

configure computed PG_VERSION_NUM incorrectly. (Coulda sworn I tested that logic back when, but it had an obvious thinko.) pg_upgrade had not been taught about the new dispensation with just one part in the major version number. Both things accidentally failed to fail with 10.0, but with 10.1 we got the wrong results. Per buildfarm.

By 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. Reported by Antoine Scemama. Security: CVE-2017-12172

The 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

Makefile.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.

As usual, the release notes for other branches will be made by cutting these down, but put them up for community review first. Note that a fair percentage of the entries apply only to prior branches because their issue was already fixed in 10.0.

There 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

btree, 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.

When a publisher table has fewer columns than a subscriber, the update of a row on the publisher should result in updating of only the columns in common. The previous coding mistakenly reset the values of additional columns on the subscriber to NULL because it failed to skip updates of columns not found in the attribute map.

If a process is extending a table concurrently with some BRIN summarization process, it is possible for the latter to miss pages added by the former because the number of pages is computed ahead of time. Fix by determining a fresh relation size after inserting the placeholder tuple: any process that further extends the table concurrently will update the placeholder tuple, while previous pages will be processed by the heap scan.

Previously, these index types left the pd_lower field set to the default SizeOfPageHeaderData, which is really a lie because it ought to point past whatever space is being used for metadata. The coding accidentally failed to fail because we never told xlog.c that the metapage is of standard format --- but that's not very good, because it impedes WAL consistency checking, and in some cases prevents compression of full-page images. To fix, ensure that we set pd_lower correctly, not only when creating a metapage but whenever we write it out (these apparently redundant steps are needed to cope with pg_upgrade'd indexes that don't yet contain the right value). This allows telling xlog.c that the page is of standard format. The WAL consistency check mask functions are made to mask only if pd_lower appears valid, which I think is likely unnecessary complication, since any metapage appearing in a v11 WAL stream should contain valid pd_lower. But it doesn't cost much to be paranoid. Amit Langote, reviewed by Michael Paquier and Amit Kapila Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/0d273805-0e9e-ec1a-cb84-d4da400b8f85@lab.ntt.co.jp

In some cases the BRIN code releases lock on an index page, and later re-acquires lock and tries to check that the tuple it was working on is still there. That check was a couple bricks shy of a load. It didn't consider that the page might have turned into a "revmap" page. (The samepage code path doesn't call brin_getinsertbuffer(), so it isn't protected by the checks for revmap status there.) It also didn't check whether the tuple offset was now off the end of the linepointer array. Since commit 24992c6d the latter case is pretty common, but at least in principle it could have occurred before that. The net result is that concurrent updates of a BRIN index could fail with errors like "invalid index offnum" or "inconsistent range map". Per report from Tomas Vondra. Back-patch to 9.5, since this code is substantially the same in all versions containing BRIN. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/10d2b9f9-f427-03b8-8ad9-6af4ecacbee9@2ndquadrant.com

For some reason, we have never accounted for either the evaluation cost or the selectivity of filter conditions attached to Agg and Group nodes (which, in practice, are always conditions from a HAVING clause). Applying our regular selectivity logic to post-grouping conditions is a bit bogus, but it's surely better than taking the selectivity as 1.0. Perhaps someday the extended-statistics mechanism can be taught to provide statistics that would help us in getting non-default estimates here. Per a gripe from Benjamin Coutu. This is surely a bug fix, but I'm hesitant to back-patch because of the prospect of destabilizing existing plan choices. Given that it took us this long to notice the bug, it's probably not hurting too many people in the field. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20968.1509486337@sss.pgh.pa.us
