postgresql-9.1 (9.1.20-0ubuntu0.12.04) precise-security; urgency=medium * New upstream security/bug fix release: (LP: #1544576) - Fix infinite loops and buffer-overrun problems in regular expressions. Very large character ranges in bracket expressions could cause infinite loops in some cases, and memory overwrites in other cases. (CVE-2016-0773) - Prevent certain PL/Java parameters from being set by non-superusers. This change mitigates a PL/Java security bug (CVE-2016-0766), which was fixed in PL/Java by marking these parameters as superuser-only. To fix the security hazard for sites that update PostgreSQL more frequently than PL/Java, make the core code aware of them also. - See release notes for details about other fixes. -- Martin Pitt Thu, 11 Feb 2016 15:41:29 +0100 postgresql-9.1 (9.1.19-0ubuntu0.12.04) precise-security; urgency=medium * New upstream security/bug fix release (LP: #1504132) - Fix contrib/pgcrypto to detect and report too-short crypt() salts Certain invalid salt arguments crashed the server or disclosed a few bytes of server memory. We have not ruled out the viability of attacks that arrange for presence of confidential information in the disclosed bytes, but they seem unlikely. (CVE-2015-5288) - See release notes for details about other fixes. -- Martin Pitt Thu, 08 Oct 2015 16:03:41 +0200 postgresql-9.1 (9.1.18-0ubuntu0.12.04) precise-proposed; urgency=medium * New upstream bug fix release (LP: #1464669) - Fix possible failure to recover from an inconsistent database state - Fix rare failure to invalidate relation cache init file - See http://www.postgresql.org/about/news/1592/ for details. -- Martin Pitt Fri, 12 Jun 2015 16:15:01 +0200 postgresql-9.1 (9.1.17-0ubuntu0.12.04) precise-proposed; urgency=medium * New upstream bug fix release (LP: #1461425) - Avoid failures while fsync'ing data directory during crash restart. In the previous minor releases we added a patch to fsync everything in the data directory after a crash. Unfortunately its response to any error condition was to fail, thereby preventing the server from starting up, even when the problem was quite harmless. An example is that an unwritable file in the data directory would prevent restart on some platforms; but it is common to make SSL certificate files unwritable by the server. Revise this behavior so that permissions failures are ignored altogether, and other types of failures are logged but do not prevent continuing. - See release notes for details about other fixes. -- Martin Pitt Wed, 03 Jun 2015 09:58:48 +0200 postgresql-9.1 (9.1.16-0ubuntu0.12.04) precise-security; urgency=medium * New upstream security/bug fix release (LP: #1457093) - Avoid possible crash when client disconnects just before the authentication timeout expires. If the timeout interrupt fired partway through the session shutdown sequence, SSL-related state would be freed twice, typically causing a crash and hence denial of service to other sessions. Experimentation shows that an unauthenticated remote attacker could trigger the bug somewhat consistently, hence treat as security issue. (CVE-2015-3165) - Improve detection of system-call failures Our replacement implementation of snprintf() failed to check for errors reported by the underlying system library calls; the main case that might be missed is out-of-memory situations. In the worst case this might lead to information exposure, due to our code assuming that a buffer had been overwritten when it hadn't been. Also, there were a few places in which security-relevant calls of other system library functions did not check for failure. It remains possible that some calls of the *printf() family of functions are vulnerable to information disclosure if an out-of-memory error occurs at just the wrong time. We judge the risk to not be large, but will continue analysis in this area. (CVE-2015-3166) - In contrib/pgcrypto, uniformly report decryption failures as Wrong key or corrupt data Previously, some cases of decryption with an incorrect key could report other error message texts. It has been shown that such variance in error reports can aid attackers in recovering keys from other systems. While it's unknown whether pgcrypto's specific behaviors are likewise exploitable, it seems better to avoid the risk by using a one-size-fits-all message. (CVE-2015-3167) - Protect against wraparound of multixact member IDs Under certain usage patterns, the existing defenses against this might be insufficient, allowing pg_multixact/members files to be removed too early, resulting in data loss. The fix for this includes modifying the server to fail transactions that would result in overwriting old multixact member ID data, and improving autovacuum to ensure it will act proactively to prevent multixact member ID wraparound, as it does for transaction ID wraparound. - See release notes for details about other fixes. * Backport the autopkgtest, as running the postgresql-common integration test suite is a lot simpler that way. Add manual creation of required locales, as precise's postgresql-common test suite does not yet do that by itself. -- Martin Pitt Wed, 20 May 2015 23:25:56 +0200 postgresql-9.1 (9.1.15-0ubuntu0.12.04) precise-security; urgency=medium * New upstream security/bug fix release (LP: #1418928) - Fix buffer overruns in to_char() [CVE-2015-0241] - Fix buffer overruns in contrib/pgcrypto [CVE-2015-0243] - Fix possible loss of frontend/backend protocol synchronization after an error [CVE-2015-0244] - Fix information leak via constraint-violation error messages [CVE-2014-8161] - See release notes for details about other fixes: http://www.postgresql.org/about/news/1569/ -- Martin Pitt Fri, 06 Feb 2015 12:58:26 +0100 postgresql-9.1 (9.1.14-0ubuntu0.12.04) precise-proposed; urgency=medium * New upstream bug fix release: (LP: #1348176) - Various data integrity and other bug fixes. - Secure Unix-domain sockets of temporary postmasters started during make check. Any local user able to access the socket file could connect as the server's bootstrap superuser, then proceed to execute arbitrary code as the operating-system user running the test, as we previously noted in CVE-2014-0067. This change defends against that risk by placing the server's socket in a temporary, mode 0700 subdirectory of /tmp. - See release notes for details: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-9-1-14.html * Drop pg_regress patches to run tests with socket in /tmp, obsolete with above upstream changes and not applicable any more. -- Martin Pitt Thu, 24 Jul 2014 18:09:12 +0200 postgresql-9.1 (9.1.13-0ubuntu0.12.04) precise-proposed; urgency=medium * New upstream bug fix release. No security issues or major data loss fixes this time, see release.html for details. (LP: #1294006) -- Martin Pitt Tue, 18 Mar 2014 10:41:28 +0100 postgresql-9.1 (9.1.12-0ubuntu0.12.04) precise-security; urgency=medium * New upstream security/bugfix release. (LP: #1282677) - Shore up GRANT ... WITH ADMIN OPTION restrictions. Granting a role without ADMIN OPTION is supposed to prevent the grantee from adding or removing members from the granted role, but this restriction was easily bypassed by doing SET ROLE first. The security impact is mostly that a role member can revoke the access of others, contrary to the wishes of his grantor. Unapproved role member additions are a lesser concern, since an uncooperative role member could provide most of his rights to others anyway by creating views or SECURITY DEFINER functions. (CVE-2014-0060) - Prevent privilege escalation via manual calls to PL validator functions. The primary role of PL validator functions is to be called implicitly during CREATE FUNCTION, but they are also normal SQL functions that a user can call explicitly. Calling a validator on a function actually written in some other language was not checked for and could be exploited for privilege-escalation purposes. The fix involves adding a call to a privilege-checking function in each validator function. Non-core procedural languages will also need to make this change to their own validator functions, if any. (CVE-2014-0061) - Avoid multiple name lookups during table and index DDL. If the name lookups come to different conclusions due to concurrent activity, we might perform some parts of the DDL on a different table than other parts. At least in the case of CREATE INDEX, this can be used to cause the permissions checks to be performed against a different table than the index creation, allowing for a privilege escalation attack. (CVE-2014-0062) - Prevent buffer overrun with long datetime strings. The MAXDATELEN constant was too small for the longest possible value of type interval, allowing a buffer overrun in interval_out(). Although the datetime input functions were more careful about avoiding buffer overrun, the limit was short enough to cause them to reject some valid inputs, such as input containing a very long timezone name. The ecpg library contained these vulnerabilities along with some of its own. (CVE-2014-0063) - Prevent buffer overrun due to integer overflow in size calculations. Several functions, mostly type input functions, calculated an allocation size without checking for overflow. If overflow did occur, a too-small buffer would be allocated and then written past. (CVE-2014-0064) - Prevent overruns of fixed-size buffers. Use strlcpy() and related functions to provide a clear guarantee that fixed-size buffers are not overrun. Unlike the preceding items, it is unclear whether these cases really represent live issues, since in most cases there appear to be previous constraints on the size of the input string. Nonetheless it seems prudent to silence all Coverity warnings of this type. (CVE-2014-0065) - Avoid crashing if crypt() returns NULL. There are relatively few scenarios in which crypt() could return NULL, but contrib/chkpass would crash if it did. One 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"). (CVE-2014-0066) - Document risks of make check in the regression testing instructions Since the temporary server started by make check uses "trust" authentication, another user on the same machine could connect to it as database superuser, and then potentially exploit the privileges of the operating-system user who started the tests. A future release will probably incorporate changes in the testing procedure to prevent this risk, but some public discussion is needed first. So for the moment, just warn people against using make check when there are untrusted users on the same machine. (CVE-2014-0067) * The upstream tarballs no longer contain a plain HISTORY file, but point to the html documentation. Add 70-history.patch to note the location of these files in our changelog.gz file. -- Martin Pitt Thu, 20 Feb 2014 11:35:10 -0800 postgresql-9.1 (9.1.11-0ubuntu0.12.04) precise-proposed; urgency=low * New upstream bug fix release. (LP: #1257211) - Fix "VACUUM"'s tests to see whether it can update relfrozenxid. In some cases "VACUUM" (either manual or autovacuum) could incorrectly advance a table's relfrozenxid value, allowing tuples to escape freezing, causing those rows to become invisible once 2^31 transactions have elapsed. The probability of data loss is fairly low since multiple incorrect advancements would need to happen before actual loss occurs, but it's not zero. Users upgrading from releases 9.0.4 or 8.4.8 or earlier are not affected, but all later versions contain the bug. The issue can be ameliorated by, after upgrading, vacuuming all tables in all databases while having vacuum_freeze_table_age set to zero. This will fix any latent corruption but will not be able to fix all pre-existing data errors. However, an installation can be presumed safe after performing this vacuuming if it has executed fewer than 2^31 update transactions in its lifetime (check this with SELECT txid_current() < 2^31). - Fix initialization of "pg_clog" and "pg_subtrans" during hot standby startup. This bug can cause data loss on standby servers at the moment they start to accept hot-standby queries, by marking committed transactions as uncommitted. The likelihood of such corruption is small unless, at the time of standby startup, the primary server has executed many updating transactions since its last checkpoint. Symptoms include missing rows, rows that should have been deleted being still visible, and obsolete versions of updated rows being still visible alongside their newer versions. This bug was introduced in versions 9.3.0, 9.2.5, 9.1.10, and 9.0.14. Standby servers that have only been running earlier releases are not at risk. It's recommended that standby servers that have ever run any of the buggy releases be re-cloned from the primary (e.g., with a new base backup) after upgrading. - See HISTORY/changelog.gz for details about other bug fixes. -- Martin Pitt Tue, 03 Dec 2013 10:37:18 +0100 postgresql-9.1 (9.1.10-0ubuntu12.04) precise-proposed; urgency=low * New upstream bug fix release (LP: #1237248).

A connection request containing a database name that begins with "-" could be crafted to damage or destroy files within the server's data directory, even if the request is eventually rejected. [CVE-2013-1899] - Reset OpenSSL randomness state in each postmaster child process. This avoids a scenario wherein random numbers generated by "contrib/pgcrypto" functions might be relatively easy for another database user to guess. The risk is only significant when the postmaster is configured with ssl = on but most connections don't use SSL encryption. [CVE-2013-1900] - Make REPLICATION privilege checks test current user not authenticated user. An unprivileged database user could exploit this mistake to call pg_start_backup() or pg_stop_backup(), thus possibly interfering with creation of routine backups. [CVE-2013-1901] - Fix GiST indexes to not use "fuzzy" geometric comparisons when it's not appropriate to do so. The core geometric types perform comparisons using "fuzzy" equality, but gist_box_same must do exact comparisons, else GiST indexes using it might become inconsistent. After installing this update, users should "REINDEX" any GiST indexes on box, polygon, circle, or point columns, since all of these use gist_box_same. - Fix erroneous range-union and penalty logic in GiST indexes that use "contrib/btree_gist" for variable-width data types, that is text, bytea, bit, and numeric columns. These errors could result in inconsistent indexes in which some keys that are present would not be found by searches, and also in useless index bloat. Users are advised to "REINDEX" such indexes after installing this update. - Fix bugs in GiST page splitting code for multi-column indexes. These errors could result in inconsistent indexes in which some keys that are present would not be found by searches, and also in indexes that are unnecessarily inefficient to search. Users are advised to "REINDEX" multi-column GiST indexes after installing this update. - See HISTORY/changelog.gz for details about the other bug fixes. -- Martin Pitt Tue, 02 Apr 2013 11:59:41 +0200 postgresql-9.1 (9.1.8-0ubuntu12.04) precise-security; urgency=low * New upstream security/bug fix release: (LP: #1116336) - Prevent execution of enum_recv from SQL The function was misdeclared, allowing a simple SQL command to crash the server. In principle an attacker might be able to use it to examine the contents of server memory. Our thanks to Sumit Soni (via Secunia SVCRP) for reporting this issue. (CVE-2013-0255) - See HISTORY/changelog.gz for the other bug fixes. -- Martin Pitt Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:19:31 +0100 postgresql-9.1 (9.1.7-0ubuntu12.04) precise-proposed; urgency=low * New upstream bug fix release: (LP: #1088393) - Fix multiple bugs associated with "CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY". Fix "CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY" to use in-place updates when changing the state of an index's pg_index row. This prevents race conditions that could cause concurrent sessions to miss updating the target index, thus resulting in corrupt concurrently-created indexes. Also, fix various other operations to ensure that they ignore invalid indexes resulting from a failed "CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY" command. The most important of these is "VACUUM", because an auto-vacuum could easily be launched on the table before corrective action can be taken to fix or remove the invalid index. - Fix buffer locking during WAL replay. The WAL replay code was insufficiently careful about locking buffers when replaying WAL records that affect more than one page. This could result in hot standby queries transiently seeing inconsistent states, resulting in wrong answers or unexpected failures. - See HISTORY/changelog.gz for the other bug fixes. * Drop 00git_ecpg_array_bounds.patch, fixed upstream. -- Martin Pitt Mon, 10 Dec 2012 14:54:49 +0100 postgresql-9.1 (9.1.6-0ubuntu12.04.1) precise-proposed; urgency=low * Add debian/patches/00git_ecpg_array_bounds.patch: Fix test for array boundary in ecpg.

This mistake can result in buffers not being written out during checkpoints, resulting in data corruption if the server later crashes without ever having written those buffers. Corruption can occur on any server following crash recovery, but it is significantly more likely to occur on standby slave servers since those perform much more WAL replay. There is a low probability of corruption of btree and GIN indexes. There is a much higher probability of corruption of table "visibility maps". Fortunately, visibility maps are non-critical data in 9.1, so the worst consequence of such corruption in 9.1 installations is transient inefficiency of vacuuming. Table data proper cannot be corrupted by this bug. While no index corruption due to this bug is known to have occurred in the field, as a precautionary measure it is recommended that production installations "REINDEX" all btree and GIN indexes at a convenient time after upgrading to 9.1.6. Also, if you intend to do an in-place upgrade to 9.2.X, before doing so it is recommended to perform a "VACUUM" of all tables while having vacuum_freeze_table_age set to zero. This will ensure that any lingering wrong data in the visibility maps is corrected before 9.2.X can depend on it. vacuum_cost_delay can be adjusted to reduce the performance impact of vacuuming, while causing it to take longer to finish. - See HISTORY/changelog.gz for the other bug fixes. -- Martin Pitt Tue, 25 Sep 2012 07:21:13 +0200 postgresql-9.1 (9.1.5-0ubuntu12.04) precise-security; urgency=low * New upstream bug fix/security release: - Prevent access to external files/URLs via XML entity references (Noah Misch, Tom Lane) xml_parse() would attempt to fetch external files or URLs as needed to resolve DTD and entity references in an XML value, thus allowing unprivileged database users to attempt to fetch data with the privileges of the database server. While the external data wouldn't get returned directly to the user, portions of it could be exposed in error messages if the data didn't parse as valid XML; and in any case the mere ability to check existence of a file might be useful to an attacker. (CVE-2012-3489) - Prevent access to external files/URLs via "contrib/xml2"'s xslt_process() (Peter Eisentraut) libxslt offers the ability to read and write both files and URLs through stylesheet commands, thus allowing unprivileged database users to both read and write data with the privileges of the database server. Disable that through proper use of libxslt's security options. (CVE-2012-3488) Also, remove xslt_process()'s ability to fetch documents and stylesheets from external files/URLs. While this was a documented "feature", it was long regarded as a bad idea. The fix for CVE-2012-3489 broke that capability, and rather than expend effort on trying to fix it, we're just going to summarily remove it. - Prevent too-early recycling of btree index pages (Noah Misch) When we allowed read-only transactions to skip assigning XIDs, we introduced the possibility that a deleted btree page could be recycled while a read-only transaction was still in flight to it. This would result in incorrect index search results. The probability of such an error occurring in the field seems very low because of the timing requirements, but nonetheless it should be fixed. - Fix crash-safety bug with newly-created-or-reset sequences (Tom Lane) If "ALTER SEQUENCE" was executed on a freshly created or reset sequence, and then precisely one nextval() call was made on it, and then the server crashed, WAL replay would restore the sequence to a state in which it appeared that no nextval() had been done, thus allowing the first sequence value to be returned again by the next nextval() call. In particular this could manifest for serial columns, since creation of a serial column's sequence includes an "ALTER SEQUENCE OWNED BY" step. - Fix race condition in enum-type value comparisons (Robert Haas, Tom Lane) Comparisons could fail when encountering an enum value added since the current query started. - Fix txid_current() to report the correct epoch when not in hot standby (Heikki Linnakangas) This fixes a regression introduced in the previous minor release. - Prevent selection of unsuitable replication connections as the synchronous standby (Fujii Masao) The master might improperly choose pseudo-servers such as pg_receivexlog or pg_basebackup as the synchronous standby, and then wait indefinitely for them. - Fix bug in startup of Hot Standby when a master transaction has many subtransactions (Andres Freund) This mistake led to failures reported as "out-of-order XID insertion in KnownAssignedXids". - Ensure the "backup_label" file is fsync'd after pg_start_backup() (Dave Kerr) - Fix timeout handling in walsender processes (Tom Lane) WAL sender background processes neglected to establish a SIGALRM handler, meaning they would wait forever in some corner cases where a timeout ought to happen. - Wake walsenders after each background flush by walwriter (Andres Freund, Simon Riggs) This greatly reduces replication delay when the workload contains only asynchronously-committed transactions. - Fix LISTEN/NOTIFY to cope better with I/O problems, such as out of disk space (Tom Lane) After a write failure, all subsequent attempts to send more NOTIFY messages would fail with messages like "Could not read from file "pg_notify/nnnn" at offset nnnnn: Success". - Only allow autovacuum to be auto-canceled by a directly blocked process (Tom Lane) The original coding could allow inconsistent behavior in some cases; in particular, an autovacuum could get canceled after less than deadlock_timeout grace period. - Improve logging of autovacuum cancels (Robert Haas) - Fix log collector so that log_truncate_on_rotation works during the very first log rotation after server start (Tom Lane) - Fix WITH attached to a nested set operation (UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT) (Tom Lane) - Ensure that a whole-row reference to a subquery doesn't include any extra GROUP BY or ORDER BY columns (Tom Lane) - Fix dependencies generated during ALTER TABLE ... ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX (Tom Lane) This command left behind a redundant pg_depend entry for the index, which could confuse later operations, notably ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN TYPE on one of the indexed columns. - Fix "REASSIGN OWNED" to work on extensions (Alvaro Herrera) - Disallow copying whole-row references in CHECK constraints and index definitions during "CREATE TABLE" (Tom Lane) This situation can arise in "CREATE TABLE" with LIKE or INHERITS. The copied whole-row variable was incorrectly labeled with the row type of the original table not the new one. Rejecting the case seems reasonable for LIKE, since the row types might well diverge later. For INHERITS we should ideally allow it, with an implicit coercion to the parent table's row type; but that will require more work than seems safe to back-patch. - Fix memory leak in ARRAY(SELECT ...) subqueries (Heikki Linnakangas, Tom Lane) - Fix planner to pass correct collation to operator selectivity estimators (Tom Lane) This was not previously required by any core selectivity estimation function, but third-party code might need it. - Fix extraction of common prefixes from regular expressions (Tom Lane) The code could get confused by quantified parenthesized subexpressions, such as ^(foo)?bar. This would lead to incorrect index optimization of searches for such patterns. - Fix bugs with parsing signed "hh":"mm" and "hh":"mm":"ss" fields in interval constants (Amit Kapila, Tom Lane) - Fix pg_dump to better handle views containing partial GROUP BY lists (Tom Lane) A view that lists only a primary key column in GROUP BY, but uses other table columns as if they were grouped, gets marked as depending on the primary key. Improper handling of such primary key dependencies in pg_dump resulted in poorly-ordered dumps, which at best would be inefficient to restore and at worst could result in outright failure of a parallel pg_restore run. - In PL/Perl, avoid setting UTF8 flag when in SQL_ASCII encoding (Alex Hunsaker, Kyotaro Horiguchi, Alvaro Herrera) - Use Postgres' encoding conversion functions, not Python's, when converting a Python Unicode string to the server encoding in PL/Python (Jan Urbanski) This avoids some corner-case problems, notably that Python doesn't support all the encodings Postgres does. A notable functional change is that if the server encoding is SQL_ASCII, you will get the UTF-8 representation of the string; formerly, any non-ASCII characters in the string would result in an error. - Fix mapping of PostgreSQL encodings to Python encodings in PL/Python (Jan Urbanski) - Report errors properly in "contrib/xml2"'s xslt_process() (Tom Lane) - Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2012e for DST law changes in Morocco and Tokelau -- Jamie Strandboge Thu, 16 Aug 2012 16:49:18 -0500 postgresql-9.1 (9.1.4-0ubuntu12.04) precise-security; urgency=low * New upstream bug fix/security release: (LP: #1008317) - Fix incorrect password transformation in "contrib/pgcrypto"'s DES crypt() function. If a password string contained the byte value 0x80, the remainder of the password was ignored, causing the password to be much weaker than it appeared. With this fix, the rest of the string is properly included in the DES hash. Any stored password values that are affected by this bug will thus no longer match, so the stored values may need to be updated. (CVE-2012-2143) - Ignore SECURITY DEFINER and SET attributes for a procedural language's call handler. Applying such attributes to a call handler could crash the server. (CVE-2012-2655) - Make "contrib/citext"'s upgrade script fix collations of citext arrays and domains over citext. Release 9.1.2 provided a fix for collations of citext columns and indexes in databases upgraded or reloaded from pre-9.1 installations, but that fix was incomplete: it neglected to handle arrays and domains over citext. This release extends the module's upgrade script to handle these cases. As before, if you have already run the upgrade script, you'll need to run the collation update commands by hand instead. See the 9.1.2 release notes for more information about doing this. - Allow numeric timezone offsets in timestamp input to be up to 16 hours away from UTC. Some historical time zones have offsets larger than 15 hours, the previous limit. This could result in dumped data values being rejected during reload. - Fix timestamp conversion to cope when the given time is exactly the last DST transition time for the current timezone. This oversight has been there a long time, but was not noticed previously because most DST-using zones are presumed to have an indefinite sequence of future DST transitions. - Fix text to name and char to name casts to perform string truncation correctly in multibyte encodings. - Fix memory copying bug in to_tsquery(). - Ensure txid_current() reports the correct epoch when executed in hot standby. - Fix planner's handling of outer PlaceHolderVars within subqueries. This bug concerns sub-SELECTs that reference variables coming from the nullable side of an outer join of the surrounding query. In 9.1, queries affected by this bug would fail with "ERROR: Upper-level PlaceHolderVar found where not expected". But in 9.0 and 8.4, you'd silently get possibly-wrong answers, since the value transmitted into the subquery wouldn't go to null when it should. - Fix planning of UNION ALL subqueries with output columns that are not simple variables. Planning of such cases got noticeably worse in 9.1 as a result of a misguided fix for "MergeAppend child's targetlist doesn't match MergeAppend" errors. Revert that fix and do it another way. - Fix slow session startup when pg_attribute is very large. If pg_attribute exceeds one-fourth of shared_buffers, cache rebuilding code that is sometimes needed during session start would trigger the synchronized-scan logic, causing it to take many times longer than normal. The problem was particularly acute if many new sessions were starting at once. - Ensure sequential scans check for query cancel reasonably often. A scan encountering many consecutive pages that contain no live tuples would not respond to interrupts meanwhile. - Ensure the Windows implementation of PGSemaphoreLock() clears ImmediateInterruptOK before returning. This oversight meant that a query-cancel interrupt received later in the same query could be accepted at an unsafe time, with unpredictable but not good consequences. - Show whole-row variables safely when printing views or rules. Corner cases involving ambiguous names (that is, the name could be either a table or column name of the query) were printed in an ambiguous way, risking that the view or rule would be interpreted differently after dump and reload. Avoid the ambiguous case by attaching a no-op cast. - Fix "COPY FROM" to properly handle null marker strings that correspond to invalid encoding. A null marker string such as E'\\0' should work, and did work in the past, but the case got broken in 8.4. - Fix "EXPLAIN VERBOSE" for writable CTEs containing RETURNING clauses. - Fix "PREPARE TRANSACTION" to work correctly in the presence of advisory locks. Historically, "PREPARE TRANSACTION" has simply ignored any session-level advisory locks the session holds, but this case was accidentally broken in 9.1. - Fix truncation of unlogged tables. - Ignore missing schemas during non-interactive assignments of search_path. This re-aligns 9.1's behavior with that of older branches. Previously 9.1 would throw an error for nonexistent schemas mentioned in search_path settings obtained from places such as "ALTER DATABASE SET". - Fix bugs with temporary or transient tables used in extension scripts. This includes cases such as a rewriting "ALTER TABLE" within an extension update script, since that uses a transient table behind the scenes. - Ensure autovacuum worker processes perform stack depth checking properly. Previously, infinite recursion in a function invoked by auto-"ANALYZE" could crash worker processes. - Fix logging collector to not lose log coherency under high load. The collector previously could fail to reassemble large messages if it got too busy. - Fix logging collector to ensure it will restart file rotation after receiving SIGHUP. - Fix "too many LWLocks taken" failure in GiST indexes. - Fix WAL replay logic for GIN indexes to not fail if the index was subsequently dropped. - Correctly detect SSI conflicts of prepared transactions after a crash. - Avoid synchronous replication delay when committing a transaction that only modified temporary tables. In such a case the transaction's commit record need not be flushed to standby servers, but some of the code didn't know that and waited for it to happen anyway. - Fix error handling in pg_basebackup. - Fix walsender to not go into a busy loop if connection is terminated. - Fix memory leak in PL/pgSQL's "RETURN NEXT" command. - Fix PL/pgSQL's "GET DIAGNOSTICS" command when the target is the function's first variable. - Ensure that PL/Perl package-qualifies the _TD variable. This bug caused trigger invocations to fail when they are nested within a function invocation that changes the current package. - Fix PL/Python functions returning composite types to accept a string for their result value. This case was accidentally broken by the 9.1 additions to allow a composite result value to be supplied in other formats, such as dictionaries. - Fix potential access off the end of memory in psql's expanded display ("\x") mode. - Fix several performance problems in pg_dump when the database contains many objects. pg_dump could get very slow if the database contained many schemas, or if many objects are in dependency loops, or if there are many owned sequences. - Fix memory and file descriptor leaks in pg_restore when reading a directory-format archive. - Fix pg_upgrade for the case that a database stored in a non-default tablespace contains a table in the cluster's default tablespace. - In ecpg, fix rare memory leaks and possible overwrite of one byte after the sqlca_t structure. - Fix "contrib/dblink"'s dblink_exec() to not leak temporary database connections upon error. - Fix "contrib/dblink" to report the correct connection name in error messages. - Fix "contrib/vacuumlo" to use multiple transactions when dropping many large objects. This change avoids exceeding max_locks_per_transaction when many objects need to be dropped. The behavior can be adjusted with the new -l (limit) option. -- Martin Pitt Mon, 04 Jun 2012 06:31:48 +0200 postgresql-9.1 (9.1.3-2) unstable; urgency=low * debian/control, debian/rules: Support and prefer dpkg-buildflags when building with dpkg-dev >= 1.16.1~.

(LP: #944632) -- Martin Pitt Tue, 06 Mar 2012 11:55:57 +0100 postgresql-9.1 (9.1.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium * Urgency medium due to security fixes. * New upstream security/bug fix release: - Require execute permission on the trigger function for "CREATE TRIGGER". This missing check could allow another user to execute a trigger function with forged input data, by installing it on a table he owns. This is only of significance for trigger functions marked SECURITY DEFINER, since otherwise trigger functions run as the table owner anyway. (CVE-2012-0866) - Remove arbitrary limitation on length of common name in SSL certificates. Both libpq and the server truncated the common name extracted from an SSL certificate at 32 bytes. Normally this would cause nothing worse than an unexpected verification failure, but there are some rather-implausible scenarios in which it might allow one certificate holder to impersonate another. The victim would have to have a common name exactly 32 bytes long, and the attacker would have to persuade a trusted CA to issue a certificate in which the common name has that string as a prefix. Impersonating a server would also require some additional exploit to redirect client connections. (CVE-2012-0867) - Convert newlines to spaces in names written in pg_dump comments. pg_dump was incautious about sanitizing object names that are emitted within SQL comments in its output script. A name containing a newline would at least render the script syntactically incorrect. Maliciously crafted object names could present a SQL injection risk when the script is reloaded. (CVE-2012-0868) - Fix btree index corruption from insertions concurrent with vacuuming. An index page split caused by an insertion could sometimes cause a concurrently-running "VACUUM" to miss removing index entries that it should remove. After the corresponding table rows are removed, the dangling index entries would cause errors (such as "could not read block N in file ...") or worse, silently wrong query results after unrelated rows are re-inserted at the now-free table locations. This bug has been present since release 8.2, but occurs so infrequently that it was not diagnosed until now. If you have reason to suspect that it has happened in your database, reindexing the affected index will fix things. - Fix transient zeroing of shared buffers during WAL replay. The replay logic would sometimes zero and refill a shared buffer, so that the contents were transiently invalid. In hot standby mode this can result in a query that's executing in parallel seeing garbage data. Various symptoms could result from that, but the most common one seems to be "invalid memory alloc request size". - Fix handling of data-modifying WITH subplans in READ COMMITTED rechecking. A WITH clause containing "INSERT"/"UPDATE"/"DELETE" would crash if the parent "UPDATE" or "DELETE" command needed to be re-evaluated at one or more rows due to concurrent updates in READ COMMITTED mode. - Fix corner case in SSI transaction cleanup. When finishing up a read-write serializable transaction, a crash could occur if all remaining active serializable transactions are read-only. - Fix postmaster to attempt restart after a hot-standby crash. A logic error caused the postmaster to terminate, rather than attempt to restart the cluster, if any backend process crashed while operating in hot standby mode. - Fix "CLUSTER"/"VACUUM FULL" handling of toast values owned by recently-updated rows. This oversight could lead to "duplicate key value violates unique constraint" errors being reported against the toast table's index during one of these commands. - Update per-column permissions, not only per-table permissions, when changing table owner. Failure to do this meant that any previously granted column permissions were still shown as having been granted by the old owner. This meant that neither the new owner nor a superuser could revoke the now-untraceable-to-table-owner permissions. - Support foreign data wrappers and foreign servers in "REASSIGN OWNED". This command failed with "unexpected classid" errors if it needed to change the ownership of any such objects. - Allow non-existent values for some settings in "ALTER USER/DATABASE SET". Allow default_text_search_config, default_tablespace, and temp_tablespaces to be set to names that are not known. This is because they might be known in another database where the setting is intended to be used, or for the tablespace cases because the tablespace might not be created yet. The same issue was previously recognized for search_path, and these settings now act like that one. - Fix "unsupported node type" error caused by COLLATE in an "INSERT" expression. - Avoid crashing when we have problems deleting table files post-commit. Dropping a table should lead to deleting the underlying disk files only after the transaction commits. In event of failure then (for instance, because of wrong file permissions) the code is supposed to just emit a warning message and go on, since it's too late to abort the transaction. This logic got broken as of release 8.4, causing such situations to result in a PANIC and an unrestartable database. - Recover from errors occurring during WAL replay of "DROP TABLESPACE". Replay will attempt to remove the tablespace's directories, but there are various reasons why this might fail (for example, incorrect ownership or permissions on those directories). Formerly the replay code would panic, rendering the database unrestartable without manual intervention. It seems better to log the problem and continue, since the only consequence of failure to remove the directories is some wasted disk space. - Fix race condition in logging AccessExclusiveLocks for hot standby. Sometimes a lock would be logged as being held by "transaction zero". This is at least known to produce assertion failures on slave servers, and might be the cause of more serious problems. - Track the OID counter correctly during WAL replay, even when it wraps around. - Prevent emitting misleading "consistent recovery state reached" log message at the beginning of crash recovery. - Fix initial value of pg_stat_replication.replay_location. - Fix regular expression back-references with - attached. Rather than enforcing an exact string match, the code would effectively accept any string that satisfies the pattern sub-expression referenced by the back-reference symbol. A similar problem still afflicts back-references that are embedded in a larger quantified expression, rather than being the immediate subject of the quantifier. This will be addressed in a future PostgreSQL release. - Fix recently-introduced memory leak in processing of inet/cidr values. - Fix planner's ability to push down index-expression restrictions through UNION ALL. - Fix planning of WITH clauses referenced in "UPDATE"/"DELETE" on an inherited table. This bug led to "could not find plan for CTE" failures. - Fix GIN cost estimation to handle column IN (...) index conditions. This oversight would usually lead to crashes if such a condition could be used with a GIN index. - Fix dangling pointer after "CREATE TABLE AS"/"SELECT INTO" in a SQL-language function. In most cases this only led to an assertion failure in assert-enabled builds, but worse consequences seem possible. - Fix I/O-conversion-related memory leaks in plpgsql. - Work around bug in perl's SvPVutf8() function. This function crashes when handed a typeglob or certain read-only objects such as $^V. Make plperl avoid passing those to it. - In pg_dump, don't dump contents of an extension's configuration tables if the extension itself is not being dumped. - Improve pg_dump's handling of inherited table columns. pg_dump mishandled situations where a child column has a different default expression than its parent column. If the default is textually identical to the parent's default, but not actually the same (for instance, because of schema search path differences) it would not be recognized as different, so that after dump and restore the child would be allowed to inherit the parent's default. Child columns that are NOT NULL where their parent is not could also be restored subtly incorrectly. - Fix pg_restore's direct-to-database mode for INSERT-style table data. Direct-to-database restores from archive files made with "--inserts" or "--column-inserts" options fail when using pg_restore from a release dated September or December 2011, as a result of an oversight in a fix for another problem. The archive file itself is not at fault, and text-mode output is okay. - Teach pg_upgrade to handle renaming of plpython's shared library. Upgrading a pre-9.1 database that included plpython would fail because of this oversight. - Allow pg_upgrade to process tables containing regclass columns. Since pg_upgrade now takes care to preserve pg_class OIDs, there was no longer any reason for this restriction. - Make libpq ignore ENOTDIR errors when looking for an SSL client certificate file. This allows SSL connections to be established, though without a certificate, even when the user's home directory is set to something like /dev/null. - Fix some more field alignment issues in ecpg's SQLDA area. - Allow AT option in ecpg DEALLOCATE statements. The infrastructure to support this has been there for awhile, but through an oversight there was still an error check rejecting the case. - Do not use the variable name when defining a varchar structure in ecpg. - Fix "contrib/auto_explain"'s JSON output mode to produce valid JSON. - Fix error in "contrib/intarray"'s int[] & int[] operator. If the smallest integer the two input arrays have in common is 1, and there are smaller values in either array, then 1 would be incorrectly omitted from the result. - Fix error detection in "contrib/pgcrypto"'s encrypt_iv() and decrypt_iv(). These functions failed to report certain types of invalid-input errors, and would instead return random garbage values for incorrect input. - Fix one-byte buffer overrun in "contrib/test_parser". The code would try to read one more byte than it should, which would crash in corner cases. Since "contrib/test_parser" is only example code, this is not a security issue in itself, but bad example code is still bad. - Use __sync_lock_test_and_set() for spinlocks on ARM, if available. This function replaces our previous use of the SWPB instruction, which is deprecated and not available on ARMv6 and later. Reports suggest that the old code doesn't fail in an obvious way on recent ARM boards, but simply doesn't interlock concurrent accesses, leading to bizarre failures in multiprocess operation. - Use "-fexcess-precision=standard" option when building with gcc versions that accept it. This prevents assorted scenarios wherein recent versions of gcc will produce creative results. - Allow use of threaded Python on FreeBSD (Chris Rees) Our configure script previously believed that this combination wouldn't work; but FreeBSD fixed the problem, so remove that error check. * Drop 00git_inet_cidr_unpack.patch, 01-armel-tas.patch: Applied upstream. * debian/watch: Use ftp for checking, thanks Peter Eisentraut.

(Closes: #647135) -- Martin Pitt Wed, 21 Dec 2011 12:07:54 +0100 postgresql-9.1 (9.1.2-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream bug fix release: - Fix bugs in information_schema.referential_constraints view. This view was being insufficiently careful about matching the foreign-key constraint to the depended-on primary or unique key constraint. That could result in failure to show a foreign key constraint at all, or showing it multiple times, or claiming that it depends on a different constraint than the one it really does. Since the view definition is installed by initdb, merely upgrading will not fix the problem. If you need to fix this in an existing installation, you can (as a superuser) drop the information_schema schema then re-create it by sourcing "SHAREDIR/information_schema.sql". (Run pg_config --sharedir if you're uncertain where "SHAREDIR" is.) This must be repeated in each database to be fixed. - Make "contrib/citext"'s upgrade script fix collations of citext columns and indexes. Existing citext columns and indexes aren't correctly marked as being of a collatable data type during pg_upgrade from a pre-9.1 server. That leads to operations on them failing with errors such as "could not determine which collation to use for string comparison". This change allows them to be fixed by the same script that upgrades the citext module into a proper 9.1 extension during CREATE EXTENSION citext FROM unpackaged. If you have a previously-upgraded database that is suffering from this problem, and you already ran the "CREATE EXTENSION" command, you can manually run (as superuser) the "UPDATE" commands found at the end of "SHAREDIR/extension/citext--unpackaged--1.0.sql". (Run pg_config --sharedir if you're uncertain where "SHAREDIR" is.) - Fix possible crash during "UPDATE" or "DELETE" that joins to the output of a scalar-returning function. - Fix incorrect replay of WAL records for GIN index updates. - Fix TOAST-related data corruption during CREATE TABLE dest AS SELECT - FROM src or INSERT INTO dest SELECT * FROM src. - Fix possible failures during hot standby startup. - Start hot standby faster when initial snapshot is incomplete. - Fix race condition during toast table access from stale syscache entries. The typical symptom was transient errors like "missing chunk number 0 for toast value NNNNN in pg_toast_2619", where the cited toast table would always belong to a system catalog. - Track dependencies of functions on items used in parameter default expressions. Previously, a referenced object could be dropped without having dropped or modified the function, leading to misbehavior when the function was used. Note that merely installing this update will not fix the missing dependency entries; to do that, you'd need to "CREATE OR REPLACE" each such function afterwards. If you have functions whose defaults depend on non-built-in objects, doing so is recommended. - Fix incorrect management of placeholder variables in nestloop joins. This bug is known to lead to "variable not found in subplan target list" planner errors, and could possibly result in wrong query output when outer joins are involved. - Fix window functions that sort by expressions involving aggregates. - Fix "MergeAppend child's targetlist doesn't match MergeAppend" planner errors. - Fix index matching for operators with both collatable and noncollatable inputs. In 9.1.0, an indexable operator that has a non-collatable left-hand input type and a collatable right-hand input type would not be recognized as matching the left-hand column's index. An example is the hstore ? text operator. - Allow inlining of set-returning SQL functions with multiple OUT parameters. - Don't trust deferred-unique indexes for join removal. - Make DatumGetInetP() unpack inet datums that have a 1-byte header, and add a new macro, DatumGetInetPP(), that does not. - Improve locale support in money type's input and output. Aside from not supporting all standard lc_monetary formatting options, the input and output functions were inconsistent, meaning there were locales in which dumped money values could not be re-read. - Don't let transform_null_equals affect CASE foo WHEN NULL ... constructs. transform_null_equals is only supposed to affect foo = NULL expressions written directly by the user, not equality checks generated internally by this form of CASE. - Change foreign-key trigger creation order to better support self-referential foreign keys. - Fix IF EXISTS to work correctly in "DROP OPERATOR FAMILY". - Disallow dropping of an extension from within its own script. - Don't mark auto-generated types as extension members. - Cope with invalid pre-existing search_path settings during "CREATE EXTENSION". - Avoid floating-point underflow while tracking buffer allocation rate. - Prevent autovacuum transactions from running in serializable mode. Autovacuum formerly used the cluster-wide default transaction isolation level, but there is no need for it to use anything higher than READ COMMITTED, and using SERIALIZABLE could result in unnecessary delays for other processes. - Ensure walsender processes respond promptly to SIGTERM. - Exclude "postmaster.opts" from base backups. - Fix incorrect field alignment in ecpg's SQLDA area. - Preserve blank lines within commands in psql's command history. The former behavior could cause problems if an empty line was removed from within a string literal, for example. - Avoid platform-specific infinite loop in pg_dump. - Fix compression of plain-text output format in pg_dump. pg_dump has historically understood -Z with no -F switch to mean that it should emit a gzip-compressed version of its plain text output. Restore that behavior. - Fix pg_dump to dump user-defined casts between auto-generated types, such as table rowtypes. - Fix missed quoting of foreign server names in pg_dump. - Assorted fixes for pg_upgrade. Handle exclusion constraints correctly, avoid failures on Windows, don't complain about mismatched toast table names in 8.4 databases. - In PL/pgSQL, allow foreign tables to define row types. - Fix up conversions of PL/Perl functions' results. Restore the pre-9.1 behavior that PL/Perl functions returning void ignore the result value of their last Perl statement; 9.1.0 would throw an error if that statement returned a reference. Also, make sure it works to return a string value for a composite type, so long as the string meets the type's input format. In addition, throw errors for attempts to return Perl arrays or hashes when the function's declared result type is not an array or composite type, respectively. (Pre-9.1 versions rather uselessly returned strings like ARRAY(0x221a9a0) or HASH(0x221aa90) in such cases.) - Ensure PL/Perl strings are always correctly UTF8-encoded. - Use the preferred version of xsubpp to build PL/Perl, not necessarily the operating system's main copy. - Correctly propagate SQLSTATE in PL/Python exceptions. - Do not install PL/Python extension files for Python major versions other than the one built against. - Change all the "contrib" extension script files to report a useful error message if they are fed to psql. This should help teach people about the new method of using "CREATE EXTENSION" to load these files. In most cases, sourcing the scripts directly would fail anyway, but with harder-to-interpret messages. - Fix incorrect coding in "contrib/dict_int" and "contrib/dict_xsyn". - Remove "contrib/sepgsql" tests from the regular regression test mechanism. Since these tests require root privileges for setup, they're impractical to run automatically. Switch over to a manual approach instead, and provide a testing script to help with that. - Fix assorted errors in "contrib/unaccent"'s configuration file parsing. - Honor query cancel interrupts promptly in pgstatindex(). - Revert unintentional enabling of WAL_DEBUG. Fortunately, as debugging tools go, this one is pretty cheap; but it's not intended to be enabled by default, so revert. - Ensure VPATH builds properly install all server header files. - Shorten file names reported in verbose error messages. Regular builds have always reported just the name of the C file containing the error message call, but VPATH builds formerly reported an absolute path name. * debian/rules: Fix build failure for binary-indep-only builds.
