Further thought about bug #17050 suggests that it's a good idea
to use CURSOR_OPT_NO_SCROLL for the implicit cursor opened by
a plpgsql FOR-over-query loop. This ensures that, if somebody
commits inside the loop, PersistHoldablePortal won't try to
rewind and re-read the cursor. While we'd have selected NO_SCROLL
anyway if FOR UPDATE/SHARE appears in the query, there are other
hazards with volatile functions; and in any case, it's silly to
expend effort storing rows that we know for certain won't be needed.
(While here, improve the comment in exec_run_select, which was a bit
confused about the rationale for when we can use parallel mode.
Cursor operations aren't a hazard for nameless portals.)
This wasn't an issue until v11, which introduced the possibility
of persisting such cursors. Hence, back-patch to v11.
Per bug #17050 from Алексей Булгаков.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17050-f77aa827dc85247c@postgresql.org
PersistHoldablePortal has long assumed that it should store the
entire output of the query-to-be-persisted, which requires rewinding
and re-reading the output. This is problematic if the query is not
stable: we might get different row contents, or even a different
number of rows, which'd confuse the cursor state mightily.
In the case where the cursor is NO SCROLL, this is very easy to
solve: just store the remaining query output, without any rewinding,
and tweak the portal's cursor state to match. Aside from removing
the semantic problem, this could be significantly more efficient
than storing the whole output.
If the cursor is scrollable, there's not much we can do, but it
was already the case that scrolling a volatile query's result was
pretty unsafe. We can just document more clearly that getting
correct results from that is not guaranteed.
There are already prohibitions in place on using SCROLL with
FOR UPDATE/SHARE, which is one way for a SELECT query to have
non-stable results. We could imagine prohibiting SCROLL when
the query contains volatile functions, but that would be
expensive to enforce. Moreover, it could break applications
that work just fine, if they have functions that are in fact
stable but the user neglected to mark them so. So settle for
documenting the hazard.
While this problem has existed in some guise for a long time,
it got a lot worse in v11, which introduced the possibility
of persisting plpgsql cursors (perhaps implicit ones) even
when they violate the rules for what can be marked WITH HOLD.
Hence, I've chosen to back-patch to v11 but not further.

If autovacuum comes along just after we fill table test_seg with
some data, it will update the stats to the point where we prefer
a plain indexscan over a bitmap scan, breaking the expected
output (as well as the point of the test case). To fix, just
force a bitmap scan to be chosen here.
This has evidently been wrong since commit de1d042f5. It's not
clear why we just recently saw any buildfarm failures due to it;
but prairiedog has failed twice on this test in the past week.
Hence, backpatch to v11 where this test case came in.
An incorrectly-encoded multibyte character near the end of a string
could cause various processing loops to run past the string's
terminating NUL, with results ranging from no detectable issue to
a program crash, depending on what happens to be in the following
memory.
This isn't an issue in the server, because we take care to verify
the encoding of strings before doing any interesting processing
on them. However, that lack of care leaked into client-side code
which shouldn't assume that anyone has validated the encoding of
its input.
Although this is certainly a bug worth fixing, the PG security team
elected not to regard it as a security issue, primarily because
any untrusted text should be sanitized by PQescapeLiteral or
the like before being incorporated into a SQL or psql command.
(If an app fails to do so, the same technique can be used to
cause SQL injection, with probably much more dire consequences
than a mere client-program crash.) Those functions were already
made proof against this class of problem, cf CVE-2006-2313.
To fix, invent PQmblenBounded() which is like PQmblen() except it
won't return more than the number of bytes remaining in the string.
In HEAD we can make this a new libpq function, as PQmblen() is.
It seems imprudent to change libpq's API in stable branches though,
so in the back branches define PQmblenBounded as a macro in the files
that need it. (Note that just changing PQmblen's behavior would not
be a good idea; notably, it would completely break the escaping
functions' defense against this exact problem. So we just want a
version for those callers that don't have any better way of handling
this issue.)

The Msys shell mangles certain patterns in its command line, so avoid
handing arbitrary SQL to psql on the command line and instead use
IPC::Run's redirection facility for stdin. This pattern is already
mostly whats used, but query_poll_until() was not doing the right thing.
Problem discovered on the buildfarm when a new TAP test failed on msys.
The internal SQL queries used by REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY
include some aliases for its diff and temporary relations with
rather-generic names: diff, newdata, newdata2 and mv. Depending on the
queries used for the materialized view, using CONCURRENTLY could lead to
some internal failures if the query and those internal aliases conflict.
Those names have been chosen in 841c29c8. This commit switches instead
to a naming pattern which is less likely going to cause conflicts, based
on an idea from Thomas Munro, by appending _$ to those aliases. This is
not perfect as those new names could still conflict, but at least it has
the advantage to keep the code readable and simple while reducing the
likelihood of conflicts to be close to zero.

This case should be disallowed, just as FOR UPDATE with a plain
GROUP BY is disallowed; FOR UPDATE only makes sense when each row
of the query result can be identified with a single table row.
However, we missed teaching CheckSelectLocking() to check
groupingSets as well as groupClause, so that it would allow
degenerate grouping sets. That resulted in a bad plan and
a null-pointer dereference in the executor.
Looking around for other instances of the same bug, the only one
I found was in examine_simple_variable(). That'd just lead to
silly estimates, but it should be fixed too.

create_projection_plan contains a hidden assumption (here made
explicit by an Assert) that a projection-capable Path will yield a
projection-capable Plan. Unfortunately, that assumption is violated
only a few lines away, by create_projection_plan itself. This means
that two stacked ProjectionPaths can yield an outcome where we try to
jam the upper path's tlist into a non-projection-capable child node,
resulting in an invalid plan.
There isn't any good reason to have stacked ProjectionPaths; indeed the
whole concept is faulty, since the set of Vars/Aggs/etc needed by the
upper one wouldn't necessarily be available in the output of the lower
one, nor could the lower one create such values if they weren't
available from its input. Hence, we can fix this by adjusting
create_projection_path to strip any top-level ProjectionPath from the
subpath it's given. (This amounts to saying "oh, we changed our
minds about what we need to project here".)
The test case added here only fails in v13 and HEAD; before that, we

SSL renegotiation is already disabled as of 48d23c72, however this does
not prevent the server to comply with a client willing to use
renegotiation. In the last couple of years, renegotiation had its set
of security issues and flaws (like the recent CVE-2021-3449), and it
could be possible to crash the backend with a client attempting
renegotiation.
This commit takes one extra step by disabling renegotiation in the
backend in the same way as SSL compression (f9264d15) or tickets
(97d3a0b0). OpenSSL 1.1.0h has added an option named
SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION able to achieve that. In older versions
there is an option called SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS that
was undocumented, and could be set within the SSL object created when
the TLS connection opens, but I have decided not to use it, as it feels
trickier to rely on, and it is not official. Note that this option is
not usable in OpenSSL < 1.1.0h as the internal contents of the *SSL
object are hidden to applications.
SSL renegotiation concerns protocols up to TLSv1.2.

If we redirected a replicated tuple operation into a partition child
table, and then tried to fire AFTER triggers for that event, the
relation cache entry for the child table was already closed. This has
no visible ill effects as long as the entry is still there and still
valid, but an unluckily-timed cache flush could result in a crash or
other misbehavior.
To fix, postpone the ExecCleanupTupleRouting call (which is what
closes the child table) until after we've fired triggers. This
requires a bit of refactoring so that the cleanup function can

COMMIT/ROLLBACK necessarily destroys all snapshots within the session.
The original implementation of intra-procedure transactions just
cavalierly did that, ignoring the fact that this left us executing in
a rather different environment than normal. In particular, it turns
out that handling of toasted datums depends rather critically on there
being an outer ActiveSnapshot: otherwise, when SPI or the core
executor pop whatever snapshot they used and return, it's unsafe to
dereference any toasted datums that may appear in the query result.
It's possible to demonstrate "no known snapshots" and "missing chunk
number N for toast value" errors as a result of this oversight.
Historically this outer snapshot has been held by the Portal code,
and that seems like a good plan to preserve. So add infrastructure
to pquery.c to allow re-establishing the Portal-owned snapshot if it's
not there anymore, and add enough bookkeeping support that we can tell
whether it is or not.
We can't, however, just re-establish the Portal snapshot as part of
COMMIT/ROLLBACK. As in normal transaction start, acquiring the first
snapshot should wait until after SET and LOCK commands. Hence, teach
spi.c about doing this at the right time. (Note that this patch
doesn't fix the problem for any PLs that try to run intra-procedure
transactions without using SPI to execute SQL commands.)
This makes SPI's no_snapshots parameter rather a misnomer, so in HEAD,
rename that to allow_nonatomic.
replication/logical/worker.c also needs some fixes, because it wasn't
careful to hold a snapshot open around AFTER trigger execution.
That code doesn't use a Portal, which I suspect someday we're gonna
have to fix. But for now, just rearrange the order of operations.
This includes back-patching the recent addition of finish_estate()
to centralize the cleanup logic there.
This also back-patches commit 2ecfeda3e into v13, to improve the
test coverage for worker.c (it was that test that exposed that
worker.c's snapshot management is wrong).

While applying the truncate change, the logical apply worker acquires
RowExclusiveLock on the relation being truncated. This allowed truncate on
the relation at a time by two apply workers which lead to a deadlock. The
reason was that one of the workers after updating the pg_class tuple tries
to acquire SHARE lock on the relation and started to wait for the second
worker which has acquired RowExclusiveLock on the relation. And when the
second worker tries to update the pg_class tuple, it starts to wait for
the first worker which leads to a deadlock. Fix it by acquiring
AccessExclusiveLock on the relation before applying the truncate change as
we do for normal truncate operation.

exec_for_query() normally tries to prefetch a few rows at a time
from the query being iterated over, so as to reduce executor
entry/exit overhead. Unfortunately this is unsafe if we have
COMMIT or ROLLBACK within the loop, because there might be
TOAST references in the data that we prefetched but haven't
yet examined. Immediately after the COMMIT/ROLLBACK, we have
no snapshots in the session, meaning that VACUUM is at liberty
to remove recently-deleted TOAST rows.
This was originally reported as a case triggering the "no known
snapshots" error in init_toast_snapshot(), but even if you miss
hitting that, you can get "missing toast chunk", as illustrated
by the added isolation test case.
To fix, just disable prefetching in non-atomic contexts. Maybe
there will be performance complaints prompting us to work harder
later, but it's not clear at the moment that this really costs
much, and I doubt we'd want to back-patch any complicated fix.

Add a defensive "can't happen" error to code that handles nbtree posting
list splits (promote an existing assertion). This avoids a segfault in
the event of an insertion of a newitem that is somehow identical to an

have two index tuples with identical TIDs.
This scenario is not particular unlikely in the event of any kind of

Backpatch: 13-, where nbtree deduplication was introduced.
Formerly we just relied on operator classes that assert longValuesOK
to eventually shorten the leaf value enough to fit on an index page.
That fails since the introduction of INCLUDE-column support (commit
09c1c6ab4), because the INCLUDE columns might alone take up more
than a page, meaning no amount of leaf-datum compaction will get
the job done. At least with spgtextproc.c, that leads to an infinite
loop, since spgtextproc.c won't throw an error for not being able
to shorten the leaf datum anymore.
To fix without breaking cases that would otherwise work, add logic
to spgdoinsert() to verify that the leaf tuple size is decreasing
after each "choose" step. Some opclasses might not decrease the
size on every single cycle, and in any case, alignment roundoff
of the tuple size could obscure small gains. Therefore, allow
up to 10 cycles without additional savings before throwing an
error. (Perhaps this number will need adjustment, but it seems
quite generous right now.)
As long as we've developed this logic, let's back-patch it.
The back branches don't have INCLUDE columns to worry about, but
this seems like a good defense against possible bugs in operator
classes. We already know that an infinite loop here is pretty
unpleasant, so having a defense seems to outweigh the risk of
breaking things. (Note that spgtextproc.c is actually the only
known opclass with longValuesOK support, so that this is all moot
for known non-core opclasses anyway.)

Knowing that a buggy opclass could cause an infinite insertion loop,
spgdoinsert() intended to allow its loop to be interrupted by query
cancel. However, that never actually worked, because in iterations
after the first, we'd be holding buffer lock(s) which would cause
InterruptHoldoffCount to be positive, preventing servicing of the
interrupt.
To fix, check if an interrupt is pending, and if so fall out of
the insertion loop and service the interrupt after we've released
the buffers. If it was indeed a query cancel, that's the end of
the matter. If it was a non-canceling interrupt reason, make use
of the existing provision to retry the whole insertion. (This isn't
as wasteful as it might seem, since any upper-level index tuples we
already created should be usable in the next attempt.)
While there's no known instance of such a bug in existing release
branches, it still seems like a good idea to back-patch this to
all supported branches, since the behavior is fairly nasty if a
loop does happen --- not only is it uncancelable, but it will
quickly consume memory to the point of an OOM failure. In any

of that histogram to 10000 entries, the test invokes that function
over 100000 times, which takes an absolutely unreasonable amount of
time in clobber-cache-always mode.
However, there's no real reason why that has to be a plpgsql
function: for the purposes of this test, all that matters is that
it not be marked leakproof. So we can replace the plpgsql
implementation with a direct call of int4lt, which has the same
behavior and is orders of magnitude faster. This is expected to
cut several hours off the buildfarm cycle time for CCA animals.
It has some positive impact in normal builds too, though that's
probably lost in the noise.
Back-patch to v13 where 0c882e52a came in.

It's unusual to have any resjunk columns in an ON CONFLICT ... UPDATE
list, but it can happen when MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK SubPlans are present.
If it happens, the ON CONFLICT UPDATE code path would end up storing
tuples that include the values of the extra resjunk columns. That's
fairly harmless in the short run, but if new columns are added to
the table then the values would become accessible, possibly leading
to malfunctions if they don't match the datatypes of the new columns.
This had escaped notice through a confluence of missing sanity checks,
including
* There's no cross-check that a tuple presented to heap_insert or
heap_update matches the table rowtype. While it's difficult to
check that fully at reasonable cost, we can easily add assertions
that there aren't too many columns.
* The output-column-assignment cases in execExprInterp.c lacked
any sanity checks on the output column numbers, which seems like
an oversight considering there are plenty of assertion checks on
input column numbers. Add assertions there too.
* We failed to apply nodeModifyTable's ExecCheckPlanOutput() to
the ON CONFLICT UPDATE tlist. That wouldn't have caught this
specific error, since that function is chartered to ignore resjunk
columns; but it sure seems like a bad omission now that we've seen
this bug.
In HEAD, the right way to fix this is to make the processing of
ON CONFLICT UPDATE tlists work the same as regular UPDATE tlists
now do, that is don't add "SET x = x" entries, and use
ExecBuildUpdateProjection to evaluate the tlist and combine it with
old values of the not-set columns. This adds a little complication
to ExecBuildUpdateProjection, but allows removal of a comparable
amount of now-dead code from the planner.
In the back branches, the most expedient solution seems to be to
(a) use an output slot for the ON CONFLICT UPDATE projection that
actually matches the target table, and then (b) invent a variant of
ExecBuildProjectionInfo that can be told to not store values resulting
from resjunk columns, so it doesn't try to store into nonexistent
columns of the output slot. (We can't simply ignore the resjunk columns
altogether; they have to be evaluated for MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK to work.)
This works back to v10. In 9.6, projections work much differently and
we can't cheaply give them such an option. The 9.6 version of this
patch works by inserting a JunkFilter when it's necessary to get rid
of resjunk columns.
In addition, v11 and up have the reverse problem when trying to
perform ON CONFLICT UPDATE on a partitioned table. Through a
further oversight, adjust_partition_tlist() discarded resjunk columns
when re-ordering the ON CONFLICT UPDATE tlist to match a partition.
This accidentally prevented the storing-bogus-tuples problem, but
at the cost that MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK cases didn't work, typically
crashing if more than one row has to be updated. Fix by preserving
resjunk columns in that routine. (I failed to resist the temptation
to add more assertions there too, and to do some minor code
beautification.)
Per report from Andres Freund. Back-patch to all supported branches.
Security: CVE-2021-32028
While we were (mostly) careful about ensuring that the dimensions of
arrays aren't large enough to cause integer overflow, the lower bound
values were generally not checked. This allows situations where
lower_bound + dimension overflows an integer. It seems that that's
harmless so far as array reading is concerned, except that array
elements with subscripts notionally exceeding INT_MAX are inaccessible.
However, it confuses various array-assignment logic, resulting in a
potential for memory stomps.
Fix by adding checks that array lower bounds aren't large enough to
cause lower_bound + dimension to overflow. (Note: this results in
disallowing cases where the last subscript position would be exactly
INT_MAX. In principle we could probably allow that, but there's a lot
of code that computes lower_bound + dimension and would need adjustment.
It seems doubtful that it's worth the trouble/risk to allow it.)
Somewhat independently of that, array_set_element() was careless
about possible overflow when checking the subscript of a fixed-length
array, creating a different route to memory stomps. Fix that too.
Security: CVE-2021-32027
When building without --enable-dtrace, emit dummy
do {} while (0)
statements for the stubbed-out TRACE_POSTGRESQL_foo() macros
instead of empty macros that totally elide the original probe
statement.
This fixes the
warning: suggest braces around empty body in an ‘if’ statement [-Wempty-body]
introduced by b94409a02f.
