This function formerly crashed if called as a statement-level trigger,
or if a column-name argument wasn't given.
In passing, add the trigger name to all error messages from the function.
(None of them are expected cases, so this shouldn't pose any compatibility
risk.)

The command we're telling people to type needs to include double-quoting
around the unfortunately-chosen extension name. Twiddle the textual
quoting so that it looks somewhat sane. Per gripe from roadrunner6.
These modules used the YYPARSE_PARAM macro, which has been deprecated
by the bison folk since 1.875, and which they finally removed in 3.0.
Adjust the code to use the replacement facility, %parse-param, which
is a much better solution anyway since it allows specification of the
type of the extra parser parameter. We can thus get rid of a lot of
unsightly casting.
Back-patch to all active branches, since somebody might try to build
a back branch with up-to-date tools.
This helps guard against changes in the set of reserved keywords from
one version to another. In theory it should only be an issue if we
de-reserve a keyword in a newer release, since that can create the type
of problem shown in bug #8128.
Back-patch to 9.1 where the --quote-all-identifiers option was added.
Now that pg_dump no longer dumps invalid indexes, per commit
683abc73df, have pg_upgrade also skip
them. Previously pg_upgrade threw an error if invalid indexes existed.
Backpatch to 9.2, 9.1, and 9.0 (where pg_upgrade was added to git)
Cases such as similarity('', '') produced a NaN result due to computing
0/0. Per discussion, make it return zero instead.
This appears to be the basic cause of bug #7867 from Michele Baravalle,
although it remains unclear why her installation doesn't think Cyrillic
letters are letters.
Back-patch to all active branches.
The previous coding supposed that the first differing bytes in two varlena
datums must have the same sign difference as their overall comparison
result. This is obviously bogus for text strings in non-C locales, and
probably wrong for numeric, and even for bytea I think it was wrong on
machines where char is signed. When the assumption failed, the function
could deliver a zero or negative penalty in situations where such a result
is quite ridiculous, leading the core GiST code to make very bad page-split
decisions.
To fix, take the absolute values of the byte-level differences. Also,
switch the code to using unsigned char not just char, so that the behavior
will be consistent whether char is signed or not.
Per investigation of a trouble report from Tomas Vondra. Back-patch to all
supported branches.
gbt_var_bin_union() failed to do the right thing when the existing range
needed to be widened at both ends rather than just one end. This could
result in an invalid index in which keys that are present would not be
found by searches, because the searches would not think they need to
descend to the relevant leaf pages. This error affected all the varlena
datatypes supported by btree_gist (text, bytea, bit, numeric).
Per investigation of a trouble report from Tomas Vondra. (There is also
an issue in gbt_var_penalty(), but that should only result in inefficiency
not wrong answers. I'm committing this separately so that we have a git
state in which it can be tested that bad penalty results don't produce
invalid indexes.) Back-patch to all supported branches.
All versions of pg_upgrade upgraded invalid indexes caused by CREATE
INDEX CONCURRENTLY failures and marked them as valid. The patch adds a
check to all pg_upgrade versions and throws an error during upgrade or
--check.
Backpatch to 9.2, 9.1, 9.0. Patch slightly adjusted.
Normally each module is tested in a database named contrib_regression,
which is dropped and recreated at the beginhning of each pg_regress run.
This new mode, enabled by adding USE_MODULE_DB=1 to the make command
line, runs most modules in a database with the module name embedded in
it.
This will make testing pg_upgrade on clusters with the contrib modules
a lot easier.
Second attempt at this, this time accomodating make versions older
than 3.82.
Still to be done: adapt to the MSVC build system.
Backpatch to 9.0, which is the earliest version it is reasonably
possible to test upgrading from.

The previous definitions of these GUC variables allowed them to range
up to INT_MAX, but in point of fact the underlying code would suffer
overflows or other errors with large values. Reduce the maximum values
to something that won't misbehave. There's no apparent value in working
harder than this, since very large delays aren't sensible for any of
these. (Note: the risk with archive_timeout is that if we're late
checking the state, the timestamp difference it's being compared to
might overflow. So we need some amount of slop; the choice of INT_MAX/2
is arbitrary.)
Per followup investigation of bug #7670. Although this isn't a very
significant fix, might as well back-patch.
pg_upgrade opened the output from pg_dumpall in text mode and
wrote the split files in text mode. This caused unwanted eating
of intended carriage returns on input and production of spurious
carriage returns on output. To avoid this, open all these files
in binary mode. On non-Windows platforms, this change has no
effect.
Backpatch to 9.0. On 9.0 and 9.1, we also switch from redirecting
pg_dumpall's output to using pg_dumpall's -f switch, for the same
reason.
pg_upgrade produces a platform-specific script to remove the old
directory, but on Windows it has not been making sure that the
paths it writes as arguments for rmdir and del use the backslash
path separator, which will cause these scripts to fail.
The fix is backpatched to Release 9.0.
Extraction of trigrams did not process LIKE escape sequences properly,
leading to possible misidentification of trigrams near escapes, resulting
in incorrect index search results.

libxslt offers the ability to read and write both files and URLs through
stylesheet commands, thus allowing unprivileged database users to both read
and write data with the privileges of the database server. Disable that
through proper use of libxslt's security options.
Also, remove xslt_process()'s ability to fetch documents and stylesheets
from external files/URLs. While this was a documented "feature", it was
long regarded as a terrible idea. The fix for CVE-2012-3489 broke that
capability, and rather than expend effort on trying to fix it, we're just
going to summarily remove it.
While the ability to write as well as read makes this security hole
considerably worse than CVE-2012-3489, the problem is mitigated by the fact
that xslt_process() is not available unless contrib/xml2 is installed,
and the longstanding warnings about security risks from that should have
discouraged prudent DBAs from installing it in security-exposed databases.
Reported and fixed by Peter Eisentraut.
Security: CVE-2012-3488
It failed to check for error return from xsltApplyStylesheet(), as reported
by Peter Gagarinov. (So far as I can tell, libxslt provides no convenient
way to get a useful error message in failure cases. There might be some
inconvenient way, but considering that this code is deprecated it's hard to
get enthusiastic about putting lots of work into it. So I just made it say
"failed to apply stylesheet", in line with the existing error checks.)
While looking at the code I also noticed that the string returned by
xsltSaveResultToString was never freed, resulting in a session-lifespan
memory leak.
Back-patch to all supported versions.
Overly tight coding caused the password transformation loop to stop
examining input once it had processed a byte equal to 0x80. Thus, if the
given password string contained such a byte (which is possible though not
highly likely in UTF8, and perhaps also in other non-ASCII encodings), all
subsequent characters would not contribute to the hash, making the password
much weaker than it appears on the surface.
This would only affect cases where applications used DES crypt() to encode
passwords before storing them in the database. If a weak password has been
created in this fashion, the hash will stop matching after this update has
been applied, so it will be easy to tell if any passwords were unexpectedly
weak. Changing to a different password would be a good idea in such a case.
(Since DES has been considered inadequately secure for some time, changing
to a different encryption algorithm can also be recommended.)
This code, and the bug, are shared with at least PHP, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD.
Since the other projects have already published their fixes, there is no
point in trying to keep this commit private.
This bug has been assigned CVE-2012-2143, and credit for its discovery goes
to Rubin Xu and Joseph Bonneau.
Write the file to a temporary name and then rename() it into the
permanent name, to ensure it can't end up half-written and corrupt
in case of a crash during shutdown.
Unlink the file after it has been read so it's removed from the data
directory and not included in base backups going to replication slaves.
When the column name is an unqualified name, rather than table.column,
the error message complains about too many dotted names, which is
wrong. Report by Peter Eisentraut based on examination of the
sepgsql regression test output, but the problem also affects COMMENT.
New wording as suggested by Tom Lane.
We previously recognized that citext wouldn't get marked as collatable
during pg_upgrade from a pre-9.1 installation, and hacked its
create-from-unpackaged script to manually perform the necessary catalog
adjustments. However, we overlooked the fact that domains over citext,
as well as the citext[] array type, need the same adjustments. Extend
the script to handle those cases.
Also, the documentation suggested that this was only an issue in pg_upgrade
scenarios, which is quite wrong; loading any dump containing citext from a
pre-9.1 server will also result in the type being wrongly marked.
I approached the documentation problem by changing the 9.1.2 release note
paragraphs about this issue, which is historically inaccurate. But it
seems better than having the information scattered in multiple places, and
leaving incorrect info in the 9.1.2 notes would be bad anyway. We'll still
need to mention the issue again in the 9.1.4 notes, but perhaps they can
just reference 9.1.2 for fix instructions.
Per report from Evan Carroll. Back-patch into 9.1.
default tablespace, but part of a database that is in a user-defined
tablespace. Caused "file not found" error during upgrade.
Per bug report from Ants Aasma.
Backpatch to 9.1 and 9.0.
dblink_exec leaked temporary database connections if any error occurred
after connection setup, for example
SELECT dblink_exec('...connect string...', 'select 1/0');
Add a PG_TRY block to ensure PQfinish gets done when it is needed.
(dblink_record_internal is on the hairy edge of needing similar treatment,
but seems not to be actively broken at the moment.)
Also, in 9.0 and up, only one of the three functions using tuplestore
return mode was properly checking that the query context would allow
a tuplestore result.
Noted while reviewing dblink patch. Back-patch to all supported branches.
The DBLINK_GET_CONN and DBLINK_GET_NAMED_CONN macros did not set the
surrounding function's conname variable, causing errors to be incorrectly
reported as having occurred on the "unnamed" connection in some cases.
This bug was actually visible in two cases in the regression tests,
but apparently whoever added those cases wasn't paying attention.
Noted by Kyotaro Horiguchi, though this is different from his proposed
patch.
Back-patch to 8.4; 8.3 does not have the same type of error reporting
so the patch is not relevant.
Since 9.0, removing lots of large objects in a single transaction risks
exceeding max_locks_per_transaction, because we merged large object removal
into the generic object-drop mechanism, which takes out an exclusive lock
on each object to be dropped. This creates a hazard for contrib/vacuumlo,
which has historically tried to drop all unreferenced large objects in one
transaction. There doesn't seem to be any correctness requirement to do it
that way, though; we only need to drop enough large objects per transaction
to amortize the commit costs.
To prevent a regression from pre-9.0 releases wherein vacuumlo worked just
fine, back-patch commits b69f2e3640 and
64c604898e, which break vacuumlo's deletions
into multiple transactions with a user-controllable upper limit on the
number of objects dropped per transaction.

the non-development install. Instead, use the LOAD mechanism to check
for the pg_upgrade_support shared object, like we do for other shared
object checks.
Backpatch to 9.1.
Report from Àlvaro
The array intersection code would give wrong results if the first entry of
the correct output array would be "1". (I think only this value could be
at risk, since the previous word would always be a lower-bound entry with
that fixed value.)
Problem spotted by Julien Rouhaud, initial patch by Guillaume Lelarge,
cosmetic improvements by me.
Due to oversights, the encrypt_iv() and decrypt_iv() functions failed to
report certain types of invalid-input errors, and would instead return
random garbage values.
Marko Kreen, per report from Stefan Kaltenbrunner
have pg_upgrade allocate a maximum fixed size buffer for testing the
library file name, rather than base the allocation on the library name.
Backpatch to 9.1.
The original coding examined the next character before verifying that
there *is* a next character. In the worst case with the input buffer
right up against the end of memory, this would result in a segfault.
Problem spotted by Paul Guyot; this commit extends his patch to fix an
additional case. In addition, make the code a tad more readable by not
overloading the usage of *tlen.
If the existing citext type has not merely been created, but used in any
tables, then the upgrade script wasn't doing enough. We have to update
attcollation for each citext table column, and indcollation for each citext
index column, as well. Per report from Rudolf van der Leeden.
Make it use t_isspace() to identify whitespace, rather than relying on
sscanf which is known to get it wrong on some platform/locale combinations.
Get rid of fixed-size buffers. Make it actually continue to parse the file
after ignoring a line with untranslatable characters, as was obviously
intended.
The first of these issues is per gripe from J Smith, though not exactly
either of his proposed patches.
Both dict_int and dict_xsyn were blithely assuming that whatever memory
palloc gives back will be pre-zeroed. This would typically work for
just about long enough to run their regression tests, and no longer :-(.
The pre-9.0 code in dict_xsyn was even lamer than that, as it would
happily give back a pointer to the result of palloc(0), encouraging
its caller to access off the end of memory. Again, this would just
barely fail to fail as long as memory contained nothing but zeroes.
Per a report from Rodrigo Hjort that code based on these examples
didn't work reliably.
We have seen one too many reports of people trying to use 9.1 extension
files in the old-fashioned way of sourcing them in psql. Not only does
that usually not work (due to failure to substitute for MODULE_PATHNAME
and/or @extschema@), but if it did work they'd get a collection of loose
objects not an extension. To prevent this, insert an \echo ... \quit
line that prints a suitable error message into each extension script file,
and teach commands/extension.c to ignore lines starting with \echo.
That should not only prevent any adverse consequences of loading a script
file the wrong way, but make it crystal clear to users that they need to
do it differently now.
Tom Lane, following an idea of Andrew Dunstan's. Back-patch into 9.1
... there is not going to be much value in this if we wait till 9.2.
A similar problem for pgstattuple() was fixed in April of 2010 by commit
33065ef8bc, but pgstatindex() seems to have
been overlooked.
Back-patch all the way, as with that commit, though not to 7.4 through
8.1, since those are now EOL.
