Fix up the PQconnectionUsedPassword mess: create a separate
...
PQconnectionNeedsPassword function that tells the right thing for whether to
prompt for a password, and improve PQconnectionUsedPassword so that it checks
whether the password used by the connection was actually supplied as a
connection argument, instead of coming from environment or a password file.
Per bug report from Mark Cave-Ayland and subsequent discussion.

First cut at 8.3 release notes. SGML markup is nonexistent, and
...
the 'overview' and 'incompatibilities' summary lists remain to be
written. But I think all the raw info is there (indeed maybe too
verbose).
2007-10-03 03:32:31 +00:00
48f7e64395
Simplify and rename some GUC variables, per various recent discussions:
...
* stats_start_collector goes away; we always start the collector process,
unless prevented by a problem with setting up the stats UDP socket.
* stats_reset_on_server_start goes away; it seems useless in view of the
availability of pg_stat_reset().
* stats_block_level and stats_row_level are merged into a single variable
"track_counts", which controls all reports sent to the collector process.
* stats_command_string is renamed to track_activities.
* log_autovacuum is renamed to log_autovacuum_min_duration to better reflect
its meaning.
The log_autovacuum change is not a compatibility issue since it didn't exist
before 8.3 anyway. The other changes need to be release-noted.

Security: CVE-2007-2138
2007-04-20 03:27:23 +00:00
aa27977fe2
Support explicit placement of the temporary-table schema within search_path.
...
This is needed to allow a security-definer function to set a truly secure
value of search_path. Without it, a malicious user can use temporary objects
to execute code with the privileges of the security-definer function. Even
pushing the temp schema to the back of the search path is not quite good
enough, because a function or operator at the back of the path might still
capture control from one nearer the front due to having a more exact datatype
match. Hence, disable searching the temp schema altogether for functions and
operators.

Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:

can - ability, "I can lift that log."
might - possibility, "It might rain today."

in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice. Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".
