Michael Paquier a23c0b00f0 Disallow SSL renegotiation
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.

Per original report from Robert Haas, with a patch based on a suggestion
by Andres Freund.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
