Robert Haas	35f0dccb0d	Fix one more incorrect errno definition in the ECPG manual. ... Again, back-patch all the way to 7.4.	16 years ago
Robert Haas	19efe0489f	Fix incorrect errno definitions in ECPG manual. ... ecpgerrno.h hasn't materially changed since PostgreSQL 7.4, so this has been wrong for a very long time. Back-patch all the way. Satoshi Nagayasu	16 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	f6d3301cc8	Fix grammar ... backpatched to 8.1	16 years ago
Tom Lane	4d242bb56d	Fix assorted misstatements and poor wording in the descriptions of the I/O ... formats for geometric types. Per bug #5536 from Jon Strait, and my own testing. Back-patch to all supported branches, since this doco has been wrong right along -- we certainly haven't changed the I/O behavior of these types in many years.	16 years ago

Tom Lane	b67abe3db8	Use an entity instead of non-ASCII letter. Thom Brown	16 years ago
Tom Lane	a921879053	Prevent PL/Tcl from loading the "unknown" module from pltcl_modules unless ... that is a regular table or view owned by a superuser. This prevents a trojan horse attack whereby any unprivileged SQL user could create such a table and insert code into it that would then get executed in other users' sessions whenever they call pltcl functions. Worse yet, because the code was automatically loaded into both the "normal" and "safe" interpreters at first use, the attacker could execute unrestricted Tcl code in the "normal" interpreter without there being any pltclu functions anywhere, or indeed anyone else using pltcl at all: installing pltcl is sufficient to open the hole. Change the initialization logic so that the "unknown" code is only loaded into an interpreter when the interpreter is first really used. (That doesn't add any additional security in this particular context, but it seems a prudent change, and anyway the former behavior violated the principle of least astonishment.) Security: CVE-2010-1170	16 years ago
Andrew Dunstan	68e621bfa4	Abandon the use of Perl's Safe.pm to enforce restrictions in plperl, as it is ... fundamentally insecure. Instead apply an opmask to the whole interpreter that imposes restrictions on unsafe operations. These restrictions are much harder to subvert than is Safe.pm, since there is no container to be broken out of. Backported to release 7.4. In releases 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1 this also includes the necessary backporting of the two interpreters model for plperl and plperlu adopted in release 8.2. In versions 8.0 and up, the use of Perl's POSIX module to undo its locale mangling on Windows has become insecure with these changes, so it is replaced by our own routine, which is also faster. Nice side effects of the changes include that it is now possible to use perl's "strict" pragma in a natural way in plperl, and that perl's $a and $b variables now work as expected in sort routines, and that function compilation is significantly faster. Tim Bunce and Andrew Dunstan, with reviews from Alex Hunsaker and Alexey Klyukin. Security: CVE-2010-1169	16 years ago

Tom Lane	595f2744b0	Fix erroneous handling of shared dependencies (ie dependencies on roles) ... in CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION. The original code would update pg_shdepend as if a new function was being created, even if it wasn't, with two bad consequences: pg_shdepend might record the wrong owner for the function, and any dependencies for roles mentioned in the function's ACL would be lost. The fix is very easy: just don't touch pg_shdepend at all when doing a function replacement. Also update the CREATE FUNCTION reference page, which never explained exactly what changes and doesn't change in a function replacement. In passing, fix the CREATE VIEW reference page similarly; there's no code bug there, but the docs didn't say what happens.	17 years ago

Andrew Dunstan	076abaf6b9	Re-add documentation for --no-readline option of psql, mistakenly removed a decade ago. Backpatch to release 7.4.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	f8d10e50d3	Split the release notes into a separate file for each (active) major branch, ... as per my recent proposal. release.sgml itself is now just a stub that should change rarely; ideally, only once per major release to add a new include line. Most editing work will occur in the release-N.N.sgml files. To update a back branch for a minor release, just copy the appropriate release-N.N.sgml file(s) into the back branch. This commit doesn't change the end-product documentation at all, only the source layout. However, it makes it easy to start omitting ancient information from newer branches' documentation, should we ever decide to do that.	17 years ago

Tom Lane	943b6b82a9	Remove references to pgsql-ports and pgsql-patches mailing lists from ... various documentation, since those lists are now dead/deprecated. Point to pgsql-bugs and/or pgsql-hackers as appropriate.	17 years ago

Tom Lane	09df79e8d7	Update back-branch release notes.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	1b0c30f68d	Install a more robust solution for the problem of infinite error-processing ... recursion when we are unable to convert a localized error message to the client's encoding. We've been over this ground before, but as reported by Ibrar Ahmed, it still didn't work in the case of conversion failures for the conversion-failure message itself :-(. Fix by installing a "circuit breaker" that disables attempts to localize this message once we get into recursion trouble. Patch all supported branches, because it is in fact broken in all of them; though I had to add some missing translations to the older branches in order to expose the failure in the particular test case I was using.	17 years ago
