Substituting such values in extension scripts facilitated SQL injection
when @extowner@, @extschema@, or @extschema:...@ appeared inside a
quoting construct (dollar quoting, '', or ""). No bundled extension was
vulnerable. Vulnerable uses do appear in a documentation example and in
non-bundled extensions. Hence, the attack prerequisite was an
administrator having installed files of a vulnerable, trusted,
non-bundled extension. Subject to that prerequisite, this enabled an
attacker having database-level CREATE privilege to execute arbitrary
code as the bootstrap superuser. By blocking this attack in the core
server, there's no need to modify individual extensions. Back-patch to
v11 (all supported versions).

Security: CVE-2023-39417
The use of Memoize was already disabled in normal joins when the join
conditions had volatile functions per the code in
match_opclause_to_indexcol(). Ordinarily, the parameterization for the
inner side of a nested loop will be an Index Scan or at least eventually
lead to an index scan (perhaps nested several joins deep). However, for
lateral joins, that's not the case and seq scans can be parameterized
too, so we can't rely on match_opclause_to_indexcol().
Here we explicitly check the parameterization for volatile functions and
don't consider the generation of a Memoize path when such functions
are present.

Commit e7cb7ee14, which introduced the infrastructure for FDWs and
custom scan providers to replace joins with scans, failed to add support
handling of pseudoconstant quals assigned to replaced joins in
createplan.c, leading to an incorrect plan without a gating Result node
when postgres_fdw replaced a join with such a qual.
To fix, we could add the support by 1) modifying the ForeignPath and
CustomPath structs to store the list of RestrictInfo nodes to apply to
the join, as in JoinPaths, if they represent foreign and custom scans
replacing a join with a scan, and by 2) modifying create_scan_plan() in
createplan.c to use that list in that case, instead of the
baserestrictinfo list, to get pseudoconstant quals assigned to the join;
but #1 would cause an ABI break. So fix by modifying the infrastructure
to just disallow replacing joins with such quals.

Historically, hba.c limited tokens in the authentication configuration

seen a few reports of this limit causing problems; notably, for
moderately-complex LDAP configurations. Increase the limit to 10240

In v13 and earlier, this also requires raising MAX_LINE, the limit

A crash in the middle of a checkpoint with some two-phase state data
already flushed to disk by this checkpoint could cause a follow-up crash
recovery to recover twice the same transaction, once from what has been
found in pg_twophase/ at the beginning of recovery and a second time
when replaying its corresponding record.
This would lead to FATAL failures in the startup process during
recovery, where the same transaction would have a state recovered twice
instead of once:
LOG: recovering prepared transaction 731 from shared memory
LOG: recovering prepared transaction 731 from shared memory
FATAL: lock ExclusiveLock on object 731/0/0 is already held
This issue is fixed by skipping the addition of any 2PC state coming
from a record whose equivalent 2PC state file has already been loaded in
TwoPhaseState at the beginning of recovery by restoreTwoPhaseData(),
which is OK as long as the system has not reached a consistent state.
The timing to get a messed up recovery processing is very racy, and
would very unlikely happen. The thread that has reported the issue has

RelationReloadIndexInfo() is a fast-path used for index reloads in the
relation cache, and it has always forgotten about updating
indisreplident, which is something that would happen after an index is
selected for a replica identity. This can lead to incorrect cache
information provided when executing a command in a transaction context
that updates indisreplident.
None of the code paths currently on HEAD that need to check upon
pg_index.indisreplident fetch its value from the relation cache, always
relying on a fresh copy on the syscache. Unfortunately, this may not be

indisvalid is switched to true for partitioned indexes when all its
partitions have valid indexes when attaching a new partition, up to the
top-most parent if all its leaves are themselves valid when dealing with
multiple layers of partitions.
The copy of the tuple from pg_index used to switch indisvalid to true
came from the relation cache, which is incorrect. Particularly, in the
case reported by Shruthi Gowda, executing a series of commands in a
single transaction would cause the validation of partitioned indexes to
use an incorrect version of a pg_index tuple, as indexes are reloaded
after an invalidation request with RelationReloadIndexInfo(), a much
faster version than a full index cache rebuild. In this case, the
limited information updated in the cache leads to an incorrect version
of the tuple used. One of the symptoms reported was the following
error, with a replica identity update, for instance:
"ERROR: attempted to update invisible tuple"
This is incorrect since 8b08f7d, so backpatch all the way down.

Until now, when DROP DATABASE got interrupted in the wrong moment, the removal
of the pg_database row would also roll back, even though some irreversible
steps have already been taken. E.g. DropDatabaseBuffers() might have thrown
out dirty buffers, or files could have been unlinked. But we continued to
allow connections to such a corrupted database.
To fix this, mark databases invalid with an in-place update, just before
starting to perform irreversible steps. As we can't add a new column in the
back branches, we use pg_database.datconnlimit = -2 for this purpose.
An invalid database cannot be connected to anymore, but can still be
dropped.
Unfortunately we can't easily add output to psql's \l to indicate that some
database is invalid, it doesn't fit in any of the existing columns.

When vac_truncate_clog() encounters bogus datfrozenxid / datminmxid values, it

WrapLimitsVacuumLock. If the backend later tries to acquire
WrapLimitsVacuumLock, the session / autovacuum worker hangs in an

reason, the lock was released.
The bug was introduced as a side effect of 566372b3d6.
It is interesting that there are no production reports of this problem. That
is likely due to a mix of bugs leading to bogus values having gotten less
common, process exit releasing locks and instances of hangs being hard to

GiST compress functions (like all GiST opclass functions) are
supposed to be called in short-lived memory contexts, so that
minor memory leaks in them are not of concern, and indeed
explicit pfree's are likely slightly counterproductive.
But this one in g_intbig_compress() is more than
slightly counterproductive, because it's guarded by
"if (in != DatumGetArrayTypeP(entry->key))" which means
that if this test succeeds, we've detoasted the datum twice.
(And to add insult to injury, the extra detoast result is
leaked.) Let's just drop the whole stanza, relying on the
GiST temporary context mechanism to clean up in good time.
The analogous bit in g_int_compress() is
if (r != (ArrayType *) DatumGetPointer(entry->key))
pfree(r);
which doesn't have the gratuitous-detoast problem so
I left it alone. Perhaps there is a case for removing
unnecessary pfree's more widely, but I'm not sure if it's
worth the code churn.
The potential extra decompress seems expensive enough to
justify calling this a (minor) performance bug and
back-patching.

Since PostgresMain calls sigsetjmp, any local variables that are not
marked "volatile" have a risk of unspecified behavior. In practice
this means that when control returns via longjmp, such variables might
get reset to their values as of the time of sigsetjmp, depending on
whether the compiler chose to put them in registers or on the stack.
We were careful about this for "send_ready_for_query", but not the
other local variables.
In the case of the timeout_enabled flags, resetting them to
their initial "false" states is actually good, since we do
"disable_all_timeouts()" in the longjmp cleanup code path. If that
does not happen, we risk uselessly calling "disable_timeout()" later,
which is harmless but a little bit expensive. Let's explicitly reset
these flags so that the behavior is correct and platform-independent.
(This change means that we really don't need the new "volatile"
markings after all, but let's install them anyway since any change
in this logic could re-introduce a problem.)
There is no issue for "firstchar" and "input_message" because those
are explicitly reinitialized each time through the query processing
loop. To make that clearer, move them to be declared inside the loop.
That leaves us with all the function-lifespan locals except the
sigjmp_buf itself marked as volatile, which seems like a good policy
to have going forward.
Because of the possibility of extra disable_timeout() calls, this
seems worth back-patching.

As coded, the code would use as a base comparison the namespace OID from
the first object scanned in pg_depend when switching its namespace
dependency entry to the new one, and use it as a base of comparison for
any follow-up checks. It would also be used as the old namespace OID to
switch *from* for the extension's pg_depend entry. Hence, if the first
object scanned has a namespace different than the one stored in the
extension, we would finish by:
- Not checking that the extension objects map with the extension's
schema.
- Not switching the extension -> namespace dependency entry to the new
namespace provided by the user, making ALTER EXTENSION ineffective.

We create a file, so we better WAL-log it. In practice, all the
built-in index AMs and all extensions that I'm aware of write a
metapage to the init fork, which is WAL-logged, and replay of the
metapage implicitly creates the fork too. But if ambuildempty() didn't
write any page, we would miss it.
This can be seen with dummy_index_am. Set up replication, create a
'dummy_index_am' index on an unlogged table, and look at the files
created in the replica: the init fork is not created on the
replica. Dummy_index_am doesn't do anything with the relation files,
however, so it doesn't lead to any user-visible errors.

This is a partial backpatch of dc513bc654.
It's OK to be lazy about re-binning memory segments when allocating,
because that can only leave segments in a bin that's too high. We'll
search higher bins if necessary while allocating next time, and
also eventually re-bin, so no memory can become unreachable that way.
However, when freeing memory, the largest contiguous range of free pages
might go up, so we should re-bin eagerly to make sure we don't leave the
segment in a bin that is too low for get_best_segment() to find.
The re-binning code is moved into a function of its own, so it can be
called whenever free pages are returned to the segment's free page map.

When performing a bitmap heap scan, we don't want to miss concurrent
writes that occurred after we observed the heap's rs_nblocks, but before
we took predicate locks on index pages. Therefore, we can't skip
fetching any heap tuples that are referenced by the index, because we
need to test them all with CheckForSerializableConflictOut(). The
old optimization that would ignore any references to blocks >=
rs_nblocks gets in the way of that requirement, because it means that
concurrent writes in that window are ignored.
Removing that optimization shouldn't affect correctness at any isolation
level, because any new tuples shouldn't be visible to an MVCC snapshot.
There also shouldn't be any error-causing references to heap blocks past
the end, because we should have held at least an AccessShareLock on the
table before the index scan. It can't get smaller while our transaction
is running. For now, though, we'll keep the optimization at lower

The logic that introduced partitioned indexes missed a few things when
invalidating a partitioned index when these are created, still the code
is written to handle recursions:
1) If created from scratch because a mapping index could not be found,
the new index created could be itself invalid, if for example it was a
partitioned index with one of its leaves invalid.
2) A CCI was missing when indisvalid is set for a parent index, leading
to inconsistent trees when recursing across more than one level for a
partitioned index creation if an invalidation of the parent was
required.
This could lead to the creation of a partition index tree where some of
the partitioned indexes are marked as invalid, but some of the parents
are marked valid, which is not something that should happen (as
validatePartitionedIndex() defines, indisvalid is switched to true for a
partitioned index iff all its partitions are themselves valid).
This patch makes sure that indisvalid is set to false on a partitioned
index if at least one of its partition is invalid. The flag is set to
true if *all* its partitions are valid.
The regression test added in this commit abuses of a failed concurrent

If the given composite datum is toasted out-of-line,
DatumGetHeapTupleHeader will perform database accesses to detoast it.
That can invalidate the result of get_cached_rowtype, as documented
(perhaps not plainly enough) in that function's API spec; which leads
to strange errors or crashes when we try to use the TupleDesc to read
the tuple. In short then, trying to update a field of a composite
column could fail intermittently if the overall column value is wide
enough to require toasting.
We can fix the bug at no cost by just changing the order of
operations, since we don't need the TupleDesc until after detoasting.
(Other callers of get_cached_rowtype appear to get this right already,
so there's only one bug.)
Note that the added regression test case reveals this bug reliably
only with debug_discard_caches/CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS.
Per bug #17994 from Alexander Lakhin. Sadly, this patch does not fix
the missing-values issue revealed in the bug discussion; we'll need
some more work to cover that.

It was walking into the ColumnDef->compression field, which is not a
node but a string. This code is currently not reachable (because the
compression field is only set in situations that don't go through
raw_expression_tree_walker()), but if it had been, this could have
behaved erratically.
