When building libpq, ip.c and md5.c were symlinked or copied from
src/backend/libpq into src/interfaces/libpq, but now that we have a
directory specifically for routines that are shared between the server and
client binaries, src/common/, move them there.
Some routines in ip.c were only used in the backend. Keep those in
src/backend/libpq, but rename to ifaddr.c to avoid confusion with the file
that's now in common.
Fix the comment in src/common/Makefile to reflect how libpq actually links
those files.
There are two more files that libpq symlinks directly from src/backend:
encnames.c and wchar.c. I don't feel compelled to move those right now,
though.

These parameters are available for SSPI authentication only, to make
it possible to make it behave more like "normal gssapi", while
making it possible to maintain compatibility.
compat_realm is on by default, but can be turned off to make the
authentication use the full Kerberos realm instead of the NetBIOS name.
upn_username is off by default, and can be turned on to return the users
Kerberos UPN rather than the SAM-compatible name (a user in Active
Directory can have both a legacy SAM-compatible username and a new
Kerberos one. Normally they are the same, but not always)

Whenever this function is used with the FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM flag,
it's good practice to include FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS as well.
Otherwise, if the message contains any %n insertion markers, the function
will try to fetch argument strings to substitute --- which we are not
passing, possibly leading to a crash. This is exactly analogous to the
rule about not giving printf() a format string you're not in control of.

We can never leak more than one token, but we shouldn't do that. We

PostgreSQL already checked the vast majority of these, missing this
handful that nearly cannot fail. If putenv() failed with ENOMEM in
pg_GSS_recvauth(), authentication would proceed with the wrong keytab
file. If strftime() returned zero in cache_locale_time(), using the
unspecified buffer contents could lead to information exposure or a
crash. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
Other unchecked calls to these functions, especially those in frontend
code, pose negligible security concern. This patch does not address
them. Nonetheless, it is always better to check return values whose
specification provides for indicating an error.
In passing, fix an off-by-one error in strftime_win32()'s invocation of
WideCharToMultiByte(). Upon retrieving a value of exactly MAX_L10N_DATA
bytes, strftime_win32() would overrun the caller's buffer by one byte.
MAX_L10N_DATA is chosen to exceed the length of every possible value, so
the vulnerable scenario probably does not arise.

We'd leak the ident_serv data structure if the second pg_getaddrinfo_all
(the one for the local address) failed. This is not of great consequence
because a failure return here just leads directly to backend exit(), but
if this function is going to try to clean up after itself at all, it should
not have such holes in the logic. Try to fix it in a future-proof way by
having all the failure exits go through the same cleanup path, rather than
"optimizing" some of them.
Per Coverity. Back-patch to 9.2, which is as far back as this patch
applies cleanly.
We used to handle authentication_timeout by setting
ImmediateInterruptOK to true during large parts of the authentication
phase of a new connection. While that happens to work acceptably in
practice, it's not particularly nice and has ugly corner cases.
Previous commits converted the FE/BE communication to use latches and
implemented support for interrupt handling during both
send/recv. Building on top of that work we can get rid of
ImmediateInterruptOK during authentication, by immediately treating
timeouts during authentication as a reason to die. As die interrupts
are handled immediately during client communication that provides a
sensibly quick reaction time to authentication timeout.
Additionally add a few CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to some more complex
authentication methods. More could be added, but this already should
provides a reasonable coverage.
While it this overall increases the maximum time till a timeout is
reacted to, it greatly reduces complexity and increases
reliability. That seems like a overall win. If the increase proves to
be noticeable we can deal with those cases by moving to nonblocking
network code and add interrupt checking there.

If any error occurred while we were in the middle of reading a protocol
message from the client, we could lose sync, and incorrectly try to
interpret a part of another message as a new protocol message. That will
usually lead to an "invalid frontend message" error that terminates the
connection. However, this is a security issue because an attacker might
be able to deliberately cause an error, inject a Query message in what's
supposed to be just user data, and have the server execute it.
We were quite careful to not have CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() calls or other
operations that could ereport(ERROR) in the middle of processing a message,
but a query cancel interrupt or statement timeout could nevertheless cause
it to happen. Also, the V2 fastpath and COPY handling were not so careful.
It's very difficult to recover in the V2 COPY protocol, so we will just
terminate the connection on error. In practice, that's what happened
previously anyway, as we lost protocol sync.
To fix, add a new variable in pqcomm.c, PqCommReadingMsg, that is set
whenever we're in the middle of reading a message. When it's set, we cannot
safely ERROR out and continue running, because we might've read only part
of a message. PqCommReadingMsg acts somewhat similarly to critical sections
in that if an error occurs while it's set, the error handler will force the
connection to be terminated, as if the error was FATAL. It's not
implemented by promoting ERROR to FATAL in elog.c, like ERROR is promoted
to PANIC in critical sections, because we want to be able to use
PG_TRY/CATCH to recover and regain protocol sync. pq_getmessage() takes
advantage of that to prevent an OOM error from terminating the connection.
To prevent unnecessary connection terminations, add a holdoff mechanism
similar to HOLD/RESUME_INTERRUPTS() that can be used hold off query cancel
interrupts, but still allow die interrupts. The rules on which interrupts
are processed when are now a bit more complicated, so refactor
ProcessInterrupts() and the calls to it in signal handlers so that the
signal handlers always call it if ImmediateInterruptOK is set, and
ProcessInterrupts() can decide to not do anything if the other conditions
are not met.

Security: CVE-2015-0244
This refactoring is in preparation for adding support for other SSL
implementations, with no user-visible effects. There are now two #defines,
USE_OPENSSL which is defined when building with OpenSSL, and USE_SSL which
is defined when building with any SSL implementation. Currently, OpenSSL is
the only implementation so the two #defines go together, but USE_SSL is
supposed to be used for implementation-independent code.
The libpq SSL code is changed to use a custom BIO, which does all the raw
I/O, like we've been doing in the backend for a long time. That makes it
possible to use MSG_NOSIGNAL to block SIGPIPE when using SSL, which avoids
a couple of syscall for each send(). Probably doesn't make much performance
difference in practice - the SSL encryption is expensive enough to mask the
effect - but it was a natural result of this refactoring.

Backpatch through 9.0. 8.4 doesn't have the infrastructure to fix this.
The code for matching clients to pg_hba.conf lines that specify host names
(instead of IP address ranges) failed to complain if reverse DNS lookup
failed; instead it silently didn't match, so that you might end up getting
a surprising "no pg_hba.conf entry for ..." error, as seen in bug #9518
from Mike Blackwell. Since we don't want to make this a fatal error in
situations where pg_hba.conf contains a mixture of host names and IP
addresses (clients matching one of the numeric entries should not have to
have rDNS data), remember the lookup failure and mention it as DETAIL if
we get to "no pg_hba.conf entry". Apply the same approach to forward-DNS
lookup failures, too, rather than treating them as immediate hard errors.
Along the way, fix a couple of bugs that prevented us from detecting an
rDNS lookup error reliably, and make sure that we make only one rDNS lookup
attempt; formerly, if the lookup attempt failed, the code would try again
for each host name entry in pg_hba.conf. Since more or less the whole
point of this design is to ensure there's only one lookup attempt not one
per entry, the latter point represents a performance bug that seems
sufficient justification for back-patching.
Also, adjust src/port/getaddrinfo.c so that it plays as well as it can
with this code. Which is not all that well, since it does not have actual
support for rDNS lookup, but at least it should return the expected (and
required by spec) error codes so that the main code correctly perceives the
lack of functionality as a lookup failure. It's unlikely that PG is still
being used in production on any machines that require our getaddrinfo.c,
so I'm not excited about working harder than this.
To keep the code in the various branches similar, this includes
back-patching commits c424d0d105 and
1997f34db4 into 9.2 and earlier.

Remove dead code from adt/orderedsetaggs.c, isnull is checked

so no point checking it again down at the bottom.
Remove recently added minor error-condition memory leak in pg_regress.
It's worth distinguishing these cases from run-of-the-mill wrong-password
problems, since users have been known to waste lots of time pursuing the
wrong theory about what's failing. Now, our longstanding policy about how
to report authentication failures is that we don't really want to tell the
*client* such things, since that might be giving information to a bad guy.
But there's nothing wrong with reporting the details to the postmaster log,
and indeed the comments in this area of the code contemplate that
interesting details should be so reported. We just weren't handling these
particular interesting cases usefully.
To fix, add infrastructure allowing subroutines of ClientAuthentication()
to return a string to be added to the errdetail_log field of the main
authentication-failed error report. We might later want to use this to
report other subcases of authentication failure the same way, but for the
moment I just dealt with password cases.
Per discussion of a patch from Josh Drake, though this is not what
he proposed.
krb5 has been deprecated since 8.3, and the recommended way to do
Kerberos authentication is using the GSSAPI authentication method
(which is still fully supported).
libpq retains the ability to identify krb5 authentication, but only
gives an error message about it being unsupported. Since all authentication
is initiated from the backend, there is no need to keep it at all
in the backend.
Previously, lookups of non-existent user names could return "Success";
it will now return "User does not exist" by resetting errno. This also
centralizes the user name lookup code in libpgport.
Report and analysis by Nicolas Marchildon; patch by me
asprintf(), aside from not being particularly portable, has a fundamentally
badly-designed API; the psprintf() function that was added in passing in
the previous patch has a much better API choice. Moreover, the NetBSD
implementation that was borrowed for the previous patch doesn't work with
non-C99-compliant vsnprintf, which is something we still have to cope with
on some platforms; and it depends on va_copy which isn't all that portable
either. Get rid of that code in favor of an implementation similar to what
we've used for many years in stringinfo.c. Also, move it into libpgcommon
since it's not really libpgport material.
I think this patch will be enough to turn the buildfarm green again, but
there's still cosmetic work left to do, namely get rid of pg_asprintf()
in favor of using psprintf(). That will come in a followon patch.
Add asprintf(), pg_asprintf(), and psprintf() to simplify string
allocation and composition. Replacement implementations taken from

in case the file has been edited and not reloaded) and the contents of
the matching line (which will always be correct), to make it easier
to debug incorrect pg_hba.conf files.
The message to the client remains unchanged and does not include this
