* Urgency high because of critical remote data destruction vulnerability.
* New upstream security/bug fix release:
- Fix insecure parsing of server command-line switches.
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] (Closes: #704479)
- 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.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.4 (no changes necessary).

* Urgency medium due to security fixes.
* New upstream bug fix/security release:
- 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.

* 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.

* 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.
