Backpatch certain files through 9.1
|
|
If an allocation fails in the main message handling loop, pqParseInput3
or pqParseInput2, it should not be treated as "not enough data available
yet". Otherwise libpq will wait indefinitely for more data to arrive from
the server, and gets stuck forever.
This isn't a complete fix - getParamDescriptions and getCopyStart still
have the same issue, but it's a step in the right direction.
Michael Paquier and me. Backpatch to all supported versions.

strncpy() has a well-deserved reputation for being unsafe, so make an
effort to get rid of nearly all occurrences in HEAD.
A large fraction of the remaining uses were passing length less than or
equal to the known strlen() of the source, in which case no null-padding
can occur and the behavior is equivalent to memcpy(), though doubtless
slower and certainly harder to reason about. So just use memcpy() in
these cases.
In other cases, use either StrNCpy() or strlcpy() as appropriate (depending
on whether padding to the full length of the destination buffer seems
useful).
I left a few strncpy() calls alone in the src/timezone/ code, to keep it
in sync with upstream (the IANA tzcode distribution). There are also a
few such calls in ecpg that could possibly do with more analysis.
AFAICT, none of these changes are more than cosmetic, except for the four
occurrences in fe-secure-openssl.c, which are in fact buggy: an overlength
source leads to a non-null-terminated destination buffer and ensuing
misbehavior. These don't seem like security issues, first because no stack
clobber is possible and second because if your values of sslcert etc are
coming from untrusted sources then you've got problems way worse than this.
Still, it's undesirable to have unpredictable behavior for overlength
inputs, so back-patch those four changes to all active branches.

This includes removing tabs after periods in C comments, which was
applied to back branches, so this change should not effect backpatching.

Previously, 'int' was used for socket values in libpq, but socket values
are unsigned on Windows. This is a style correction.

Coverity identified a number of places in which it couldn't prove that a
string being copied into a fixed-size buffer would fit. We believe that
most, perhaps all of these are in fact safe, or are copying data that is
coming from a trusted source so that any overrun is not really a security
issue. Nonetheless it seems prudent to forestall any risk by using
strlcpy() and similar functions.
Fixes by Peter Eisentraut and Jozef Mlich based on Coverity reports.
In addition, fix a potential null-pointer-dereference crash in
contrib/chkpass. The crypt(3) function is defined to return NULL on
failure, but chkpass.c didn't check for that before using the result.
The main practical case in which this could be an issue is if libc is
configured to refuse to execute unapproved hashing algorithms (e.g.,
"FIPS mode"). This ideally should've been a separate commit, but
since it touches code adjacent to one of the buffer overrun changes,
I included it in this commit to avoid last-minute merge issues.
This issue was reported by Honza Horak.

After taking awhile to digest the row-processor feature that was added to
libpq in commit 92785dac2ee7026948962cd61c4cd84a2d052772, we've concluded
it is over-complicated and too hard to use. Leave the core infrastructure
changes in place (that is, there's still a row processor function inside
libpq), but remove the exposed API pieces, and instead provide a "single
row" mode switch that causes PQgetResult to return one row at a time in
separate PGresult objects.
This approach incurs more overhead than proper use of a row processor
callback would, since construction of a PGresult per row adds extra cycles.
However, it is far easier to use and harder to break. The single-row mode
still affords applications the primary benefit that the row processor API
was meant to provide, namely not having to accumulate large result sets in
memory before processing them. Preliminary testing suggests that we can
probably buy back most of the extra cycles by micro-optimizing construction
of the extra results, but that task will be left for another day.

Traditionally libpq has collected an entire query result before passing
it back to the application. That provides a simple and transactional API,
but it's pretty inefficient for large result sets. This patch allows the
application to process each row on-the-fly instead of accumulating the
rows into the PGresult. Error recovery becomes a bit more complex, but
often that tradeoff is well worth making.

Add a new libpq connection option client_encoding (which includes the
existing PGCLIENTENCODING environment variable), which besides an
encoding name accepts a special value "auto" that tries to determine
the encoding from the locale in the client's environment, using the
mechanisms that have been in use in initdb.
psql sets this new connection option to "auto" when running from a
terminal and not overridden by setting PGCLIENTENCODING.

rather than "return expr;" -- the latter style is used in most of the
tree. I kept the parentheses when they were necessary or useful because
the return expression was complex.

comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib
directory. Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names
in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for
indenting).

patch adds missing checks to the call sites of malloc(), strdup(),
PQmakeEmptyPGresult(), pqResultAlloc(), and pqResultStrdup(), and updates
the documentation. Per original report from Volkan Yazici about
PQmakeEmptyPGresult() not checking for malloc() failure.

memset() or MemSet() to a char *. For one, memset()'s first argument is
a void *, and further void * can be implicitly coerced to/from any other

Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...

just stick a list-link into struct PGnotify instead. Result is a smaller
faster and more robust library (mainly because we reduce the number of
malloc's and free's involved in notify processing), plus less pollution
of application link-symbol namespace.

conversion of basic ASCII letters. Remove all uses of strcasecmp and
strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp;
remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of
pg_toupper and pg_tolower. These functions use the same notions of
case folding already developed for identifier case conversion. I left
the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are
just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in
strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale
dependent. Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at
the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.

libpq, talking to an old server, should assume SQL_ASCII as the default
client encoding, because that is what the server will actually use (not
the server encoding).

protocol 3, then falls back to 2 if postmaster rejects the startup packet
with an old-format error message. A side benefit of the rewrite is that
SSL-encrypted connections can now be made without blocking. (I think,
anyway, but do not have a good way to test.)
