postgresql-9.1 (9.1.3-0ubuntu0.11.10) oneiric-security; urgency=low
* New upstream security/bug fix release: (LP: #941912)
- 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.
