Security: CVE-2015-5289
The documentation for the autovacuum_multixact_freeze_max_age and
autovacuum_freeze_max_age relation level parameters contained:
"Note that while you can set autovacuum_multixact_freeze_max_age very
small, or even zero, this is usually unwise since it will force frequent
vacuuming."
which hasn't been true since these options were made relation options,
instead of residing in the pg_autovacuum table (834a6da4f7).
Remove the outdated sentence. Even the lowered limits from 2596d70 are
high enough that this doesn't warrant calling out the risk in the CREATE
TABLE docs.

Backpatch: 9.0- (in parts)
This adds regressions tests which are specific to INSERT+RETURNING and
UPDATE+RETURNING to ensure that the SELECT policies are added as
WithCheckOptions (and should therefore throw an error when the policy is
violated).
Per suggestion from Andres.
Back-patch to 9.5 as the prior commit was.
The tsquery, ltxtquery and query_int data types have a common ancestor.
Having acquired check_stack_depth() calls independently, each was
missing at least one call. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
A range type can name another range type as its subtype, and a record
type can bear a column of another record type. Consequently, functions
like range_cmp() and record_recv() are recursive. Functions at risk
include operator family members and referents of pg_type regproc
columns. Treat as recursive any such function that looks up and calls
the same-purpose function for a record column type or the range subtype.
Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
An array type's element type is never itself an array type, so array
functions are unaffected. Recursion depth proportional to array
dimensionality, found in array_dim_to_jsonb(), is fine thanks to MAXDIM.
Sufficiently-deep recursion heretofore elicited a SIGSEGV. If an
application constructs PostgreSQL json or jsonb values from arbitrary
user input, application users could have exploited this to terminate all
active database connections. That applies to 9.3, where the json parser
adopted recursive descent, and later versions. Only row_to_json() and
array_to_json() were at risk in 9.2, both in a non-security capacity.
Back-patch to 9.2, where the json type was introduced.

In 020235a575 I lowered the autovacuum_*freeze_max_age minimums to
allow for easier testing of wraparounds. I did not touch the
corresponding per-table limits. While those don't matter for the purpose
of wraparound, it seems more consistent to lower them as well.
It's noteworthy that the previous reloption lower limit for
autovacuum_multixact_freeze_max_age was too high by one magnitude, even
before 020235a575.

Backpatch: back to 9.0 (in parts), like the prior patch
To allow users to force RLS to always be applied, even for table owners,
add ALTER TABLE .. FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY.
row_security=off overrides FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY, to ensure pg_dump
output is complete (by default).
Also add SECURITY_NOFORCE_RLS context to avoid data corruption when
ALTER TABLE .. FORCE ROW SECURITY is being used. The
SECURITY_NOFORCE_RLS security context is used only during referential
integrity checks and is only considered in check_enable_rls() after we
have already checked that the current user is the owner of the relation
(which should always be the case during referential integrity checks).
Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was added.
If we can't read the query texts file (whether because out-of-memory, or
for some other reason), give up and reset the file to empty, discarding all
stored query texts, though not the statistics per se. We used to leave
things alone and hope for better luck next time, but the problem is that
the file is only going to get bigger and even harder to slurp into memory.
Better to do something that will get us out of trouble.
Likewise reset the file to empty for any other failure within gc_qtexts().
The previous behavior after a write error was to discard query texts but
not do anything to truncate the file, which is just weird.
Also, increase the maximum supported file size from MaxAllocSize to
MaxAllocHugeSize; this makes it more likely we'll be able to do a garbage
collection successfully.
Also, fix recalculation of mean_query_len within entry_dealloc() to match
the calculation in gc_qtexts(). The previous coding overlooked the
possibility of dropped texts (query_len == -1) and would underestimate the
mean of the remaining entries in such cases, thus possibly causing excess
garbage collection cycles.
In passing, add some errdetail to the log entry that complains about
insufficient memory to read the query texts file, which after all was
Jim Nasby's original complaint.
Back-patch to 9.4 where the current handling of query texts was
introduced.

On reflection, the submitted patch didn't really work to prevent the
request size from exceeding MaxAllocSize, because of the fact that we'd
happily round nbuckets up to the next power of 2 after we'd limited it to
max_pointers. The simplest way to enforce the limit correctly is to
round max_pointers down to a power of 2 when it isn't one already.
(Note that the constraint to INT_MAX / 2, if it were doing anything useful
at all, is properly applied after that.)
Limit the size of the hashtable pointer array to not more than
MaxAllocSize, per reports from Kouhei Kaigai and others of "invalid memory
alloc request size" failures. There was discussion of allowing the array
to get larger than that by using the "huge" palloc API, but so far no proof
that that is actually a good idea, and at this point in the 9.5 cycle major
changes from old behavior don't seem like the way to go.
Fix a rather serious secondary bug in the new code, which was that it
didn't ensure nbuckets remained a power of 2 when recomputing it for the
multiple-batch case.
Clean up sloppy division of labor between ExecHashIncreaseNumBuckets and
its sole call site.
Null path elements and, where the object is an array, invalid integer
elements now cause an error.
Incorrect behaviour noted by Thom Brown, patch from Dmitry Dolgov.
Backpatch to 9.5 where jsonb_set was introduced
Specifically, make its effect independent from the row_security GUC, and
make it affect permission checks pertinent to views the BYPASSRLS role
owns. The row_security GUC thereby ceases to change successful-query
behavior; it can only make a query fail with an error. Back-patch to
9.5, where BYPASSRLS was introduced.
Without CASCADE, if an extension has an unfullfilled dependency on
another extension, CREATE EXTENSION ERRORs out with "required extension
... is not installed". That is annoying, especially when that dependency
is an implementation detail of the extension, rather than something the
extension's user can make sense of.
In addition to CASCADE this also includes a small set of regression
tests around CREATE EXTENSION.

Backpatch: 9.4-, where replication slots were added
Four related issues:
1) attnos/varnos/resnos for EXCLUDED were out of sync when a column
after one dropped in the underlying relation was referenced.
2) References to whole-row variables (i.e. EXCLUDED.*) lead to errors.
3) It was possible to reference system columns in the EXCLUDED pseudo
relations, even though they would not have valid contents.
4) References to EXCLUDED were rewritten by the RLS machinery, as
EXCLUDED was treated as if it were the underlying relation.
To fix the first two issues, generate the excluded targetlist with
dropped columns in mind and add an entry for whole row
variables. Instead of unconditionally adding a wholerow entry we could
pull up the expression if needed, but doing it unconditionally seems
simpler. The wholerow entry is only really needed for ruleutils/EXPLAIN
support anyway.
The remaining two issues are addressed by changing the EXCLUDED RTE to
have relkind = composite. That fits with EXCLUDED not actually being a
real relation, and allows to treat it differently in the relevant
places. scanRTEForColumn now skips looking up system columns when the
RTE has a composite relkind; fireRIRrules() already had a corresponding
check, thereby preventing RLS expansion on EXCLUDED.
Also add tests for these issues, and improve a few comments around
excluded handling in setrefs.c.

Backpatch: 9.5, where ON CONFLICT was introduced
DST law changes in Cayman Islands, Fiji, Moldova, Morocco, Norfolk Island,
North Korea, Turkey, Uruguay. New zone America/Fort_Nelson for Canadian
Northern Rockies.
Some of the functions in regex compilation and execution recurse, and
therefore could in principle be driven to stack overflow. The Tcl crew
has seen this happen in practice in duptraverse(), though their fix was
to put in a hard-wired limit on the number of recursive levels, which is
not too appetizing --- fortunately, we have enough infrastructure to check
the actually available stack. Greg Stark has also seen it in other places
while fuzz testing on a machine with limited stack space. Let's put guards
in to prevent crashes in all these places.
Since the regex code would leak memory if we simply threw elog(ERROR),
we have to introduce an API that checks for stack depth without throwing
such an error. Fortunately that's not difficult.
In cfindloop(), if the initial call to shortest() reports that a
zero-length match is possible at the current search start point, but then
it is unable to construct any actual match to that, it'll just loop around
with the same start point, and thus make no progress. We need to force the
start point to be advanced. This is safe because the loop over "begin"
points has already tried and failed to match starting at "close", so there
is surely no need to try that again.
This bug was introduced in commit e2bd904955,
wherein we allowed continued searching after we'd run out of match
possibilities, but evidently failed to think hard enough about exactly
where we needed to search next.
Because of the way this code works, such a match failure is only possible
in the presence of backrefs --- otherwise, shortest()'s judgment that a
match is possible should always be correct. That probably explains how
come the bug has escaped detection for several years.
The actual fix is a one-liner, but I took the trouble to add/improve some
comments related to the loop logic.
After fixing that, the submitted test case "()*\1" didn't loop anymore.
But it reported failure, though it seems like it ought to match a
zero-length string; both Tcl and Perl think it does. That seems to be from
overenthusiastic optimization on my part when I rewrote the iteration match
logic in commit 173e29aa5deefd9e71c183583ba37805c8102a72: we can't just
"declare victory" for a zero-length match without bothering to set match
data for capturing parens inside the iterator node.
Per fuzz testing by Greg Stark. The first part of this is a bug in all
supported branches, and the second part is a bug since 9.2 where the
iteration rewrite happened.
Commit 9662143f0c added infrastructure to
allow regular-expression operations to be terminated early in the event
of SIGINT etc. However, fuzz testing by Greg Stark disclosed that there
are still cases where regex compilation could run for a long time without
noticing a cancel request. Specifically, the fixempties() phase never
adds new states, only new arcs, so it doesn't hit the cancel check I'd put
in newstate(). Add one to newarc() as well to cover that.
Some experimentation of my own found that regex execution could also run
for a long time despite a pending cancel. We'd put a high-level cancel
check into cdissect(), but there was none inside the core text-matching
routines longest() and shortest(). Ordinarily those inner loops are very
very fast ... but in the presence of lookahead constraints, not so much.
As a compromise, stick a cancel check into the stateset cache-miss
function, which is enough to guarantee a cancel check at least once per
lookahead constraint test.
Making this work required more attention to error handling throughout the
regex executor. Henry Spencer had apparently originally intended longest()
and shortest() to be incapable of incurring errors while running, so
neither they nor their subroutines had well-defined error reporting
behaviors. However, that was already broken by the lookahead constraint
feature, since lacon() can surely suffer an out-of-memory failure ---
which, in the code as it stood, might never be reported to the user at all,
but just silently be treated as a non-match of the lookahead constraint.
Normalize all that by inserting explicit error tests as needed. I took the
opportunity to add some more comments to the code, too.
Back-patch to all supported branches, like the previous patch.
It's not terribly hard to devise regular expressions that take large
amounts of time and/or memory to process. Recent testing by Greg Stark has
also shown that machines with small stack limits can be driven to stack
overflow by suitably crafted regexps. While we intend to fix these things
as much as possible, it's probably impossible to eliminate slow-execution
cases altogether. In any case we don't want to treat such things as
security issues. The history of that code should already discourage
prudent DBAs from allowing execution of regexp patterns coming from
possibly-hostile sources, but it seems like a good idea to warn about the
hazard explicitly.
Currently, similar_escape() allows access to enough of the underlying
regexp behavior that the warning has to apply to SIMILAR TO as well.
We might be able to make it safer if we tightened things up to allow only
SQL-mandated capabilities in SIMILAR TO; but that would be a subtly
non-backwards-compatible change, so it requires discussion and probably
could not be back-patched.
Per discussion among pgsql-security list.
The "floatrange" example is a bit too simple because float8mi can be
used without any additional type conversion. Add an example that does

The output of a typical pg_rewind run contained a mix of capitalized and
not-capitalized and punctuated and not-punctuated phrases for no

This case seems to have been overlooked when unvalidated check constraints
were introduced, in 9.2. The code would attempt to dump such constraints
over again for each child table, even though adding them to the parent
table is sufficient.
In 9.2 and 9.3, also fix contrib/pg_upgrade/Makefile so that the "make
clean" target fully cleans up after a failed test. This evidently got
dealt with at some point in 9.4, but it wasn't back-patched. I ran into
it while testing this fix ...
