The original code wasn't careful to test the file descriptor returned by
PQsocket() for an invalid socket. If an invalid socket did turn up,
that would amount to calling FD_ISSET with fd = -1, whereby undefined
behavior can be invoked.
To fix, test file descriptor for validity and stop further processing if
that fails.
Problem noticed by Coverity.
There is an existing FD_ISSET callsite that does check for invalid
sockets beforehand, but the error message reported by it was
strerror(errno); in testing the aforementioned change, that turns out to
result in "bad socket: Success" which isn't terribly helpful. Instead
use PQerrorMessage() in both places which is more likely to contain an
useful error message.

Reportedly, some compilers warn about tests like "c < 0" if c is unsigned,
and hence complain about the character range checks I added in commit
3bb3f42f37. This is a bit of a pain since
the regex library doesn't really want to assume that chr is unsigned.
However, since any such reconfiguration would involve manual edits of
regcustom.h anyway, we can put it on the shoulders of whoever wants to
do that to adjust this new range-checking macro correctly.

Thirty seconds was not consistently enough for promotion to complete on

It turns out that on FreeBSD-derived platforms (including OS X), the
*scanf() family of functions is pretty much brain-dead about multibyte
characters. In particular it will apply isspace() to individual bytes
of input even when those bytes are part of a multibyte character, thus
allowing false recognition of a field-terminating space.
We appear to have little alternative other than instituting a coding
rule that *scanf() is not to be used if the input string might contain
multibyte characters. (There was some discussion of relying on "%ls",
but that probably just moves the portability problem somewhere else,
and besides it doesn't fully prevent BSD *scanf() from using isspace().)
This patch is a down payment on that: it gets rid of use of sscanf()
to parse ispell dictionary files, which are certainly at great risk
of having a problem. The code is cleaner this way anyway, though
a bit longer.
In passing, improve a few comments.

Previously, our regex code defined CHR_MAX as 0xfffffffe, which is a
bad choice because it is outside the range of type "celt" (int32).
Characters approaching that limit could lead to infinite loops in logic
such as "for (c = a; c <= b; c++)" where c is of type celt but the
range bounds are chr. Such loops will work safely only if CHR_MAX+1
is representable in celt, since c must advance to beyond b before the
loop will exit.
Fortunately, there seems no reason not to restrict CHR_MAX to 0x7ffffffe.
It's highly unlikely that Unicode will ever assign codes that high, and
none of our other backend encodings need characters beyond that either.
In addition to modifying the macro, we have to explicitly enforce character
range restrictions on the values of \u, \U, and \x escape sequences, else
the limit is trivially bypassed.
Also, the code for expanding case-independent character ranges in bracket
expressions had a potential integer overflow in its calculation of the
number of characters it could generate, which could lead to allocating too
small a character vector and then overwriting memory. An attacker with the
ability to supply arbitrary regex patterns could easily cause transient DOS
via server crashes, and the possibility for privilege escalation has not
been ruled out.
Quite aside from the integer-overflow problem, the range expansion code was
unnecessarily inefficient in that it always produced a result consisting of
individual characters, abandoning the knowledge that we had a range to
start with. If the input range is large, this requires excessive memory.
Change it so that the original range is reported as-is, and then we add on
any case-equivalent characters that are outside that range. With this
approach, we can bound the number of individual characters allowed without
sacrificing much. This patch allows at most 100000 individual characters,
which I believe to be more than the number of case pairs existing in
Unicode, so that the restriction will never be hit in practice.
It's still possible for range() to take awhile given a large character code
range, so also add statement-cancel detection to its loop. The downstream
function dovec() also lacked cancel detection, and could take a long time
given a large output from range().

Security: CVE-2016-0773
In 61444bfb we started to allow HAVING clauses to be fully pushed down
into WHERE, even when grouping sets are in use. That turns out not to
work correctly, because grouping sets can "produce" NULLs, meaning that
filtering in WHERE and HAVING can have different results, even when no
aggregates or volatile functions are involved.
Instead only allow pushdown of empty grouping sets.
It'd be nice to do better, but the exact mechanics of deciding which
cases are safe are still being debated. It's important to give correct
results till we find a good solution, and such a solution might not be
appropriate for backpatching anyway.

Commit 45f6240a8f added an assumption in ExecHashIncreaseNumBatches
and ExecHashIncreaseNumBuckets that they could find all tuples in the main
hash table by iterating over the "dense storage" introduced by that patch.
However, ExecHashRemoveNextSkewBucket continued its old practice of simply
re-linking deleted skew tuples into the main table's hashchains. Hence,
such tuples got lost during any subsequent increase in nbatch or nbuckets,
and would never get joined, as reported in bug #13908 from Seth P.
I (tgl) think that the aforesaid commit has got multiple design issues
and should be reworked rather completely; but there is no time for that
right now, so band-aid the problem by making ExecHashRemoveNextSkewBucket
physically copy deleted skew tuples into the "dense storage" arena.
The added test case is able to exhibit the problem by means of fooling the
planner with a WHERE condition that it will underestimate the selectivity
of, causing the initial nbatch estimate to be too small.

Since there currently is only one possible parenthesized option, namely
VERBOSE, it's a bit pointless to show it with "{ } [, ... ]". The curly

we can put it back when and if REINDEX grows some more options.
If a view is split into CREATE TABLE + CREATE RULE to break a circular
dependency, then any triggers on the view must be dumped/reloaded after
the CREATE RULE; else the backend may reject the CREATE TRIGGER because
it's the wrong type of trigger for a plain table. This works all right
in plain dump/restore because of pg_dump's sorting heuristic that places
triggers after rules. However, when using parallel restore, the ordering
must be enforced by a dependency --- and we didn't have one.
Fixing this is a mere matter of adding an addObjectDependency() call,
except that we need to be able to find all the triggers belonging to the
view relation, and there was no easy way to do that. Add fields to
pg_dump's TableInfo struct to remember where the associated TriggerInfo
struct(s) are.

Commit e529cd4ffa introduced an Assert requiring NAMEDATALEN to be
less than MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN, which has been 255 for a long time.
Since up to that instant we had always allowed NAMEDATALEN to be
substantially more than that, this was ill-advised.
It's debatable whether we need MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN at all (versus
putting a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into the loop), or whether it has to be
so tight; but this patch takes the narrower approach of just not applying
the MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN limit to calls from the parser.
Trusting the parser for this seems reasonable, first because the strings
are limited to NAMEDATALEN which is unlikely to be hugely more than 256,
and second because the maximum distance is tightly constrained by
MAX_FUZZY_DISTANCE (though we'd forgotten to make use of that limit in one
place). That means the cost is not really O(mn) but more like O(max(m,n)).
Relaxing the limit for user-supplied calls is left for future research;
given the lack of complaints to date, it doesn't seem very high priority.
In passing, fix confusion between lengths-in-bytes and lengths-in-chars

Putting a reference to an expanded-format value into a Const node would be
a bad idea for a couple of reasons. It'd be possible for the supposedly
immutable Const to change value, if something modified the referenced
variable ... in fact, if the Const's reference were R/W, any function that
has the Const as argument might itself change it at runtime. Also, because
datumIsEqual() is pretty simplistic, the Const might fail to compare equal
to other Consts that it should compare equal to, notably including copies
of itself. This could lead to unexpected planner behavior, such as "could
not find pathkey item to sort" errors or inferior plans.
I have not been able to find any way to get an expanded value into a Const
within the existing core code; but Paul Ramsey was able to trigger the
problem by writing a datatype input function that returns an expanded
value.
The best fix seems to be to establish a rule that varlena values being
placed into Const nodes should be passed through pg_detoast_datum().
That will do nothing (and cost little) in normal cases, but it will flatten
expanded values and thereby avoid the above problems. Also, it will
convert short-header or compressed values into canonical format, which will
avoid possible unexpected lack-of-equality issues for those cases too.
And it provides a last-ditch defense against putting a toasted value into
a Const, which we already knew was dangerous, cf commit 2b0c86b665.
(In the light of this discussion, I'm no longer sure that that commit
provided 100% protection against such cases, but this fix should do it.)
The test added in commit 65c3d05e18 to catch datatype input functions
with unstable results would fail for functions that returned expanded
values; but it seems a bit uncharitable to deem a result unstable just
because it's expressed in expanded form, so revise the coding so that we
check for bitwise equality only after applying pg_detoast_datum(). That's
a sufficient condition anyway given the new rule about detoasting when
forming a Const.
Back-patch to 9.5 where the expanded-object facility was added. It's
possible that this should go back further; but in the absence of clear
evidence that there's any live bug in older branches, I'll refrain for now.
This will enable PL/Java to be cleanly compiled, as dynloader.h is a
requirement.

Coverity quite reasonably complained that this check for fout==NULL

is just dead code since there is no code path by which CreateArchive

reported down inside CreateArchive, and control doesn't return.

pg_dump's original approach to handling extension member objects was to
run around and clear (or set) their dump flags rather late in its data
collection process. Unfortunately, quite a lot of code expects those flags
to be valid before that; which was an entirely reasonable expectation
before we added extensions. In particular, this explains Karsten Hilbert's
recent report of pg_upgrade failing on a database in which an extension
has been installed into the pg_catalog schema. Its objects are initially
marked as not-to-be-dumped on the strength of their schema, and later we
change them to must-dump because we're doing a binary upgrade of their
extension; but we've already skipped essential tasks like making associated
DO_SHELL_TYPE objects.
To fix, collect extension membership data first, and incorporate it in the
initial setting of the dump flags, so that those are once again correct
from the get-go. This has the undesirable side effect of slightly
lengthening the time taken before pg_dump acquires table locks, but testing
suggests that the increase in that window is not very much.
Along the way, get rid of ugly special-case logic for deciding whether
to dump procedural languages, FDWs, and foreign servers; dump decisions
for those are now correct up-front, too.
In 9.3 and up, this also fixes erroneous logic about when to dump event
triggers (basically, they were *always* dumped before). In 9.5 and up,
transform objects had that problem too.
Since this problem came in with extensions, back-patch to all supported
versions.
Rather than passing around DumpOptions and RestoreOptions as separate
arguments, add fields to struct Archive to carry pointers to these objects,
and access them through those fields when needed. There already was a
RestoreOptions pointer in Archive, though for no obvious reason it was part
of the "private" struct rather than out where pg_dump.c could see it.
Doing this allows reversion of quite a lot of parameter-addition changes
made in commit 0eea8047bf, which is a good thing IMO because this will
reduce the code delta between 9.4 and 9.5, probably easing a few future
back-patch efforts. Moreover, the previous commit only added a DumpOptions
argument to functions that had to have it at the time, which means we could
anticipate still more code churn (and more back-patch hazard) as the
requirement spread further. I'd hit exactly that problem in my upcoming
patch to fix extension membership marking, which is what motivated me to
do this.
Commit 866566a690 is insufficient to prevent dump/reload failures
when using transform modules in a database with both plpython2 and
plpython3 installed. The reason is that the transform extension scripts
use DO blocks as a mechanism to pull in the libpython library before
creating the transform function. It's necessary to preload the library
because the dynamic loader won't do it for us on every platform, leading
to "unresolved symbol" failures when the transform library is loaded.
But it's *not* necessary to execute Python code, and doing so will
provoke a multiple-Pythons-are-loaded error even after the preceding
commit.
To fix, use LOAD instead of a DO block. That requires superuser privilege,
but creation of a C function does anyway. It also embeds knowledge of
the underlying library name for each PL language; but that's wired into
the initdb-time contents of pg_pltemplate too, so that doesn't seem like
a large problem either. Note that CREATE TRANSFORM as such doesn't call
the language module at all.
Per a report from Paul Jones. Back-patch to 9.5 where transform modules
were introduced.
Commit 803716013d installed a safeguard against loading plpython2
and plpython3 at the same time, but asserted that both could still be
used in the same database, just not in the same session. However, that's
not actually all that practical because dumping and reloading will fail
(since both libraries necessarily get loaded into the restoring session).
pg_upgrade is even worse, because it checks for missing libraries by
loading every .so library mentioned in the entire installation into one
session, so that you can have only one across the whole cluster.
We can improve matters by not throwing the error immediately in _PG_init,
but only when and if we're asked to do something that requires calling
into libpython. This ameliorates both of the above situations, since
while execution of CREATE LANGUAGE, CREATE FUNCTION, etc will result in
loading plpython, it isn't asked to do anything interesting (at least
not if check_function_bodies is off, as it will be during a restore).
It's possible that this opens some corner-case holes in which a crash
could be provoked with sufficient effort. However, since plpython
only exists as an untrusted language, any such crash would require
superuser privileges, making it "don't do that" not a security issue.
To reduce the hazards in this area, the error is still FATAL when it
does get thrown.
Per a report from Paul Jones. Back-patch to 9.2, which is as far back
as the patch applies without work. (It could be made to work in 9.1,
but given the lack of previous complaints, I'm disinclined to expend
effort so far back. We've been pretty desultory about support for
Python 3 in 9.1 anyway.)
