Tom Lane	7f615cab57	Modify libpq's string-escaping routines to be aware of encoding considerations ... and standard_conforming_strings. The encoding changes are needed for proper escaping in multibyte encodings, as per the SQL-injection vulnerabilities noted in CVE-2006-2313 and CVE-2006-2314. Concurrent fixes are being applied to the server to ensure that it rejects queries that may have been corrupted by attempted SQL injection, but this merely guarantees that unpatched clients will fail rather than allow injection. An actual fix requires changing the client-side code. While at it we have also fixed these routines to understand about standard_conforming_strings, so that the upcoming changeover to SQL-spec string syntax can be somewhat transparent to client code. Since the existing API of PQescapeString and PQescapeBytea provides no way to inform them which settings are in use, these functions are now deprecated in favor of new functions PQescapeStringConn and PQescapeByteaConn. The new functions take the PGconn to which the string will be sent as an additional parameter, and look inside the connection structure to determine what to do. So as to provide some functionality for clients using the old functions, libpq stores the latest encoding and standard_conforming_strings values received from the backend in static variables, and the old functions consult these variables. This will work reliably in clients using only one Postgres connection at a time, or even multiple connections if they all use the same encoding and string syntax settings; which should cover many practical scenarios. Clients that use homebrew escaping methods, such as PHP's addslashes() function or even hardwired regexp substitution, will require extra effort to fix :-(. It is strongly recommended that such code be replaced by use of PQescapeStringConn/PQescapeByteaConn if at all feasible.	20 years ago
Tom Lane	3d4dc1acf5	Add a new GUC parameter backslash_quote, which determines whether the SQL ... parser will allow "\'" to be used to represent a literal quote mark. The "\'" representation has been deprecated for some time in favor of the SQL-standard representation "''" (two single quote marks), but it has been used often enough that just disallowing it immediately won't do. Hence backslash_quote allows the settings "on", "off", and "safe_encoding", the last meaning to allow "\'" only if client_encoding is a valid server encoding. That is now the default, and the reason is that in encodings such as SJIS that allow 0x5c (ASCII backslash) to be the last byte of a multibyte character, accepting "\'" allows SQL-injection attacks as per CVE-2006-2314 (further details will be published after release). The "on" setting is available for backward compatibility, but it must not be used with clients that are exposed to untrusted input. Thanks to Akio Ishida and Yasuo Ohgaki for identifying this security issue.	20 years ago

Bruce Momjian	65f1a7a8dc	Document that errors are not output by log_statement (was they were in ... 8.0), and add as suggestion to use log_min_error_statement for this purpose. I also fixed the code so the first EXECUTE has it's prepare, rather than the last which is what was in the current code. Also remove "protocol" prefix for SQL EXECUTE output because it is not accurate. Backpatch to 8.1.X.	20 years ago
