Presently, the GUC check hook for basic_archive.archive_directory
checks that the specified directory exists. Consequently, if the
directory does not exist at server startup, archiving will be stuck
indefinitely, even if it appears later. To fix, remove this check
from the hook so that archiving will resume automatically once the
directory is present. basic_archive must already be prepared to
deal with the directory disappearing at any time, so no additional
special handling is required.

In commits 29d75b25b et al, I made pg_dumpall's dumpRoleMembership
logic treat a dangling grantor OID the same as dangling role and
member OIDs: print a warning and skip emitting the GRANT. This wasn't
terribly well thought out; instead, we should handle the case by
emitting the GRANT without the GRANTED BY clause. When the source
database is pre-v16, such cases are somewhat expected because those
versions didn't prevent dropping the grantor role; so don't even
print a warning that we did this. (This change therefore restores
pg_dumpall's pre-v16 behavior for these cases.) The case is not
expected in >= v16, so then we do print a warning, but soldiering on
with no GRANTED BY clause still seems like a reasonable strategy.
Per complaint from Robert Haas that we were now dropping GRANTs
altogether in easily-reachable scenarios.

This commit adds a new test module called "test_custom_types", that can
be used to stress code paths related to custom data type
implementations.
Currently, this is used as a test suite to validate the set of fixes
done in 3b7a6fa157, that requires some typanalyze callbacks that can
force very specific backend behaviors, as of:
- typanalyze callback that returns "false" as status, to mark a failure
in computing statistics.
- typanalyze callback that returns "true" but let's the backend know
that no interesting stats could be computed, with stats_valid set to
"false".
This could be extended more in the future if more problems are found.
For simplicity, the module uses a fake int4 data type, that requires a
btree operator class to be usable with extended statistics. The type is
created by the extension, and its properties are altered in the test.
Like 3b7a6fa157, this module is backpatched down to v14, for coverage
purposes.

This commit addresses two defects regarding extended statistics on
expressions:
- When building extended statistics in lookup_var_attr_stats(), the call
to examine_attribute() did not account for the possibility of a NULL
return value. This can happen depending on the behavior of a typanalyze
callback — for example, if the callback returns false, if no rows are
sampled, or if no statistics are computed. In such cases, the code
attempted to build MCV, dependency, and ndistinct statistics using a
NULL pointer, incorrectly assuming valid statistics were available,
which could lead to a server crash.
- When loading extended statistics for expressions,
statext_expressions_load() did not account for NULL entries in the
pg_statistic array storing expression statistics. Such NULL entries can
be generated when statistics collection fails for an expression, as may
occur during the final step of serialize_expr_stats(). An extended
statistics object defining N expressions requires N corresponding
elements in the pg_statistic array stored for the expressions, and some
of these elements can be NULL. This situation is reachable when a
typanalyze callback returns true, but sets stats_valid to indicate that
no useful statistics could be computed.
While these scenarios cannot occur with in-core typanalyze callbacks, as
far as I have analyzed, they can be triggered by custom data types with
custom typanalyze implementations, at least.
No tests are added in this commit. A follow-up commit will introduce a
test module that can be extended to cover similar edge cases if
additional issues are discovered. This takes care of the core of the
problem.
Attribute and relation statistics already offer similar protections:
- ANALYZE detects and skips the build of invalid statistics.
- Invalid catalog data is handled defensively when loading statistics.
This issue exists since the support for extended statistics on
expressions has been added, down to v14 as of a4d75c86bf. Backpatch
to all supported stable branches.

casefolding changes the byte length.
Fix by refactoring to get rid of the short-circuit logic as well as

This commit updates the documentation to clarify the actual behavior.

To fix, run separate probes for the format archetype to use with the

Newest versions of gcc+glibc are able to detect cases where code
implicitly casts away const by assigning the result of strchr() or
a similar function applied to a "const char *" value to a target

not getting a compiler warning about scribbling on a string one was

When adjust_appendrel_attrs translates a Var referencing a parent
relation into a Var referencing a child relation, it propagates
varnullingrels from the parent Var to the translated Var. Previously,
the code simply overwrote the translated Var's varnullingrels with
those of the parent.
This was incorrect because the translated Var might already possess
nonempty varnullingrels. This happens, for example, when a LATERAL
subquery within a UNION ALL references a Var from the nullable side of
an outer join. In such cases, the translated Var correctly carries
the outer join's relid in its varnullingrels. Overwriting these bits
with the parent Var's set caused the planner to lose track of the fact
that the Var could be nulled by that outer join.
In the reported case, because the underlying column had a NOT NULL
constraint, the planner incorrectly deduced that the Var could never
be NULL and discarded essential IS NOT NULL filters. This led to
incorrect query results where NULL rows were returned instead of being
filtered out.
To fix, use bms_add_members to merge the parent Var's varnullingrels
into the translated Var's existing set, preserving both sources of
nullability.
Back-patch to v16. Although the reported case does not seem to cause
problems in v16, leaving incorrect varnullingrels in the tree seems
like a trap for the unwary.

Commit 1e7fe06c10 changed
pg_mbstrlen_with_len() to ereport(ERROR) if the input ends in an
incomplete character. Most callers want that. text_substring() does
not. It detoasts the most bytes it could possibly need to get the
requested number of characters. For example, to extract up to 2 chars
from UTF8, it needs to detoast 8 bytes. In a string of 3-byte UTF8
chars, 8 bytes spans 2 complete chars and 1 partial char.
Fix this by replacing this pg_mbstrlen_with_len() call with a string
traversal that differs by stopping upon finding as many chars as the
substring could need. This also makes SUBSTRING() stop raising an
encoding error if the incomplete char is past the end of the substring.
This is consistent with the general philosophy of the above commit,
which was to raise errors on a just-in-time basis. Before the above
commit, SUBSTRING() never raised an encoding error.
SUBSTRING() has long been detoasting enough for one more char than
needed, because it did not distinguish exclusive and inclusive end
position. For avoidance of doubt, stop detoasting extra.
Back-patch to v14, like the above commit. For applications using
SUBSTRING() on non-ASCII column values, consider applying this to your

While the preceding commit prevented such attachments from occurring
in future, this one aims to prevent further abuse of any already-
created operator that exposes _int_matchsel to the wrong data types.
(No other contrib module has a vulnerable selectivity estimator.)
We need only check that the Const we've found in the query is indeed
of the type we expect (query_int), but there's a difficulty: as an
extension type, query_int doesn't have a fixed OID that we could
hard-code into the estimator.
Therefore, the bulk of this patch consists of infrastructure to let
an extension function securely look up the OID of a datatype
belonging to the same extension. (Extension authors have requested
such functionality before, so we anticipate that this code will
have additional non-security uses, and may soon be extended to allow
looking up other kinds of SQL objects.)
This is done by first finding the extension that owns the calling
function (there can be only one), and then thumbing through the
objects owned by that extension to find a type that has the desired
name. This is relatively expensive, especially for large extensions,
so a simple cache is put in front of these lookups.

Selectivity estimators come in two flavors: those that make specific
assumptions about the data types they are working with, and those
that don't. Most of the built-in estimators are of the latter kind
and are meant to be safely attachable to any operator. If the
operator does not behave as the estimator expects, you might get a
poor estimate, but it won't crash.
However, estimators that do make datatype assumptions can malfunction
if they are attached to the wrong operator, since then the data they
get from pg_statistic may not be of the type they expect. This can
rise to the level of a security problem, even permitting arbitrary
code execution by a user who has the ability to create SQL objects.
To close this hole, establish a rule that built-in estimators are
required to protect themselves against being called on the wrong type
of data. It does not seem practical however to expect estimators in
extensions to reach a similar level of security, at least not in the
near term. Therefore, also establish a rule that superuser privilege
is required to attach a non-built-in estimator to an operator.
We expect that this restriction will have little negative impact on
extensions, since estimators generally have to be written in C and
thus superuser privilege is required to create them in the first
place.
This commit changes the privilege checks in CREATE/ALTER OPERATOR
to enforce the rule about superuser privilege, and fixes a couple
of built-in estimators that were making datatype assumptions without
sufficiently checking that they're valid.

An upcoming patch requires this cache so that it can track updates
in the pg_extension catalog. So far though, the EXTENSIONOID cache
only exists in v18 and up (see 490f869d9). We can add it in older
branches without an ABI break, if we are careful not to disturb the
numbering of existing syscache IDs.
In v16 and before, that just requires adding the new ID at the end
of the hand-assigned enum list, ignoring our convention about
alphabetizing the IDs. But in v17, genbki.pl enforces alphabetical
order of the IDs listed in MAKE_SYSCACHE macros. We can fake it
out by calling the new cache ZEXTENSIONOID.
Note that adding a syscache does change the required contents of the
relcache init file (pg_internal.init). But that isn't problematic
since we blow those away at postmaster start for other reasons.

to these types, allowing these expectations to be violated. This
can be exploited to cause server memory disclosure or SIGSEGV.
Fix by installing explicit checks in functions that accept these
types.

pgp_sym_decrypt() and pgp_pub_decrypt() will raise such errors, while
bytea variants will not. The existing "dat3" test decrypted to non-UTF8
text, so switch that query to bytea.
The long-term intent is for type "text" to always be valid in the
database encoding. pgcrypto has long been known as a source of
exceptions to that intent, but a report about exploiting invalid values
of type "text" brought this module to the forefront. This particular
exception is straightforward to fix, with reasonable effect on user
queries. Back-patch to v14 (all supported versions).

A security patch changed them today, so close the coverage gap now.
Test that buffer overrun is avoided when pg_mblen*() requires more
than the number of bytes remaining.
This does not cover the calls in dict_thesaurus.c or in dict_synonym.c.
That code is straightforward. To change that code's input, one must
have access to modify installed OS files, so low-privilege users are not
a threat. Testing this would likewise require changing installed
share/postgresql/tsearch_data, which was enough of an obstacle to not
bother.

A corrupted string could cause code that iterates with pg_mblen() to
overrun its buffer. Fix, by converting all callers to one of the
following:
1. Callers with a null-terminated string now use pg_mblen_cstr(), which
raises an "illegal byte sequence" error if it finds a terminator in the
middle of the sequence.
2. Callers with a length or end pointer now use either
pg_mblen_with_len() or pg_mblen_range(), for the same effect, depending
on which of the two seems more convenient at each site.
3. A small number of cases pre-validate a string, and can use
pg_mblen_unbounded().
The traditional pg_mblen() function and COPYCHAR macro still exist for
backward compatibility, but are no longer used by core code and are
hereby deprecated. The same applies to the t_isXXX() functions.

When converting multibyte to pg_wchar, the UTF-8 implementation would
silently ignore an incomplete final character, while the other
implementations would cast a single byte to pg_wchar, and then repeat
for the remaining byte sequence. While it didn't overrun the buffer, it
was surely garbage output.
Make all encodings behave like the UTF-8 implementation. A later change
for master only will convert this to an error, but we choose not to
back-patch that behavior change on the off-chance that someone is
relying on the existing UTF-8 behavior.

While EUC_CN supports only 1- and 2-byte sequences (CS0, CS1), the
mb<->wchar conversion functions allow 3-byte sequences beginning SS2,
SS3.
Change pg_encoding_max_length() to return 3, not 2, to close a
hypothesized buffer overrun if a corrupted string is converted to wchar
and back again in a newly allocated buffer. We might reconsider that in
master (ie harmonizing in a different direction), but this change seems
better for the back-branches.
Also change pg_euccn_mblen() to report SS2 and SS3 characters as having
length 3 (following the example of EUC_KR). Even though such characters
would not pass verification, it's remotely possible that invalid bytes
could be used to compute a buffer size for use in wchar conversion.

pgp_pub_decrypt_bytea() was missing a safeguard for the session key
length read from the message data, that can be given in input of
pgp_pub_decrypt_bytea(). This can result in the possibility of a buffer
overflow for the session key data, when the length specified is longer
than PGP_MAX_KEY, which is the maximum size of the buffer where the
session data is copied to.
A script able to rebuild the message and key data that can trigger the
overflow is included in this commit, based on some contents provided by
the reporter, heavily editted by me. A SQL test is added, based on the
data generated by the script.

This thinko caused us to not substitute our own getopt() code,
which results in failing to parse long options for the postmaster
since Solaris' getopt() doesn't do what we expect. This can be seen
in the results of buildfarm member icarus, which is the only one
trying to build via meson on Solaris.
Per consultation with pgsql-release, it seems okay to fix this
now even though we're in release freeze. The fix visibly won't
affect any other platforms, and it can't break Solaris/meson
builds any worse than they're already broken.
