Remove arbitrary restrictions on password length. This patch started out with the goal of harmonizing various arbitrary limits on password length, but after awhile a better idea emerged: let's just get rid of those fixed limits. recv_password_packet() has an arbitrary limit on the packet size, which we don't really need, so just drop it. (Note that this doesn't really affect anything for MD5 or SCRAM password verification, since those will hash the user's password to something shorter anyway. It does matter for auth methods that require a cleartext password.) Likewise remove the arbitrary error condition in pg_saslprep(). The remaining limits are mostly in client-side code that prompts for passwords. To improve those, refactor simple_prompt() so that it allocates its own result buffer that can be made as big as necessary. Actually, it proves best to make a separate routine pg_get_line() that has essentially the semantics of fgets(), except that it allocates a suitable result buffer and hence will never return a truncated line. (pg_get_line has a lot of potential applications to replace randomly-sized fgets buffers elsewhere, but I'll leave that for another patch.) I built pg_get_line() atop stringinfo.c, which requires moving that code to src/common/; but that seems fine since it was a poor fit for src/port/ anyway. This patch is mostly mine, but it owes a good deal to Nathan Bossart who pressed for a solution to the password length problem and created a predecessor patch. Also thanks to Peter Eisentraut and Stephen Frost for ideas and discussion. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/09512C4F-8CB9-4021-B455-EF4C4F0D55A0@amazon.com

Simplify correct use of simple_prompt(). The previous API for this function had it returning a malloc'd string. That meant that callers had to check for NULL return, which few of them were doing, and it also meant that callers had to remember to free() the string later, which required extra logic in most cases. Instead, make simple_prompt() write into a buffer supplied by the caller. Anywhere that the maximum required input length is reasonably small, which is almost all of the callers, we can just use a local or static array as the buffer instead of dealing with malloc/free. A fair number of callers used "pointer == NULL" as a proxy for "haven't requested the password yet". Maintaining the same behavior requires adding a separate boolean flag for that, which adds back some of the complexity we save by removing free()s. Nonetheless, this nets out at a small reduction in overall code size, and considerably less code than we would have had if we'd added the missing NULL-return checks everywhere they were needed. In passing, clean up the API comment for simple_prompt() and get rid of a very-unnecessary malloc/free in its Windows code path. This is nominally a bug fix, but it does not seem worth back-patching, because the actual risk of an OOM failure in any of these places seems pretty tiny, and all of them are client-side not server-side anyway. This patch is by me, but it owes a great deal to Michael Paquier who identified the problem and drafted a patch for fixing it the other way.

Fix failures to ignore \r when reading Windows-style newlines. libpq failed to ignore Windows-style newlines in connection service files. This normally wasn't a problem on Windows itself, because fgets() would convert \r\n to just \n. But if libpq were running inside a program that changes the default fopen mode to binary, it would see the \r's and think they were data. In any case, it's project policy to ignore \r in text files unconditionally, because people sometimes try to use files with DOS-style newlines on Unix machines, where the C library won't hide that from us. Hence, adjust parseServiceFile() to ignore \r as well as \n at the end of the line. In HEAD, go a little further and make it ignore all trailing whitespace, to match what it's always done with leading whitespace. In HEAD, also run around and fix up everyplace where we have newline-chomping code to make all those places look consistent and uniformly drop \r. It is not clear whether any of those changes are fixing live bugs. Most of the non-cosmetic changes are in places that are reading popen output, and the jury is still out as to whether popen on Windows can return \r\n. (The Windows-specific code in pipe_read_line seems to think so, but our lack of support for this elsewhere suggests maybe it's not a problem in practice.) Hence, I desisted from applying those changes to back branches, except in run_ssl_passphrase_command() which is new enough and little-tested enough that we'd probably not have heard about any problems there. Tom Lane and Michael Paquier, per bug #15827 from Jorge Gustavo Rocha. Back-patch the parseServiceFile() change to all supported branches, and the run_ssl_passphrase_command() change to v11 where that was added.

Remove arbitrary restrictions on password length. This patch started out with the goal of harmonizing various arbitrary limits on password length, but after awhile a better idea emerged: let's just get rid of those fixed limits. recv_password_packet() has an arbitrary limit on the packet size, which we don't really need, so just drop it. (Note that this doesn't really affect anything for MD5 or SCRAM password verification, since those will hash the user's password to something shorter anyway. It does matter for auth methods that require a cleartext password.) Likewise remove the arbitrary error condition in pg_saslprep(). The remaining limits are mostly in client-side code that prompts for passwords. To improve those, refactor simple_prompt() so that it allocates its own result buffer that can be made as big as necessary. Actually, it proves best to make a separate routine pg_get_line() that has essentially the semantics of fgets(), except that it allocates a suitable result buffer and hence will never return a truncated line. (pg_get_line has a lot of potential applications to replace randomly-sized fgets buffers elsewhere, but I'll leave that for another patch.) I built pg_get_line() atop stringinfo.c, which requires moving that code to src/common/; but that seems fine since it was a poor fit for src/port/ anyway. This patch is mostly mine, but it owes a good deal to Nathan Bossart who pressed for a solution to the password length problem and created a predecessor patch. Also thanks to Peter Eisentraut and Stephen Frost for ideas and discussion. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/09512C4F-8CB9-4021-B455-EF4C4F0D55A0@amazon.com
