PostgreSQL 12 is now end-of-life.

Security Issues
* CVE-2024-10976: PostgreSQL row security below e.g. subqueries disregards user ID changes
* CVE-2024-10977: PostgreSQL libpq retains an error message from man-in-the-middle
* CVE-2024-10978: PostgreSQL SET ROLE, SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION reset to wrong user ID
* CVE-2024-10979: PostgreSQL PL/Perl environment variable changes execute arbitrary code

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update fixes over 35 bugs that were reported in the last several months. The issues listed below affect PostgreSQL 17. Some of these issues may also affect other supported versions of PostgreSQL.

Fix when attaching or detaching table partitions with foreign key constraints. After upgrade, users impacted by this issue will need to perform manual steps to finish fixing it. Please see the "Upgrading" section and the release notes for more information.
Fix when using libc as the default collation provider when LC_CTYPE is C while LC_COLLATE is a different locale. This could lead to incorrect query results. If you have these settings in your database, please reindex any affected indexes after updating to this release. This issue impacted 17.0 only.
Several query planner fixes, including disallowing joining partitions (partitionwise join) if the collations of the partitions don't match.
Fix possible wrong answers or wrong varnullingrels planner errors for MERGE ... WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE actions.
Fix validation of the COPY FORCE_NOT_NULL and FORCE_NULL.
Fix server crash when a json_objectagg() call contains a volatile function.
Ensure there's a registered dependency between a partitioned table and a non-built-in access method specified in CREATE TABLE ... USING. This fix only prevents problems for partitioned tables created after this update.
Fix race condition in committing a serializable transaction.
Fix race condition in COMMIT PREPARED that could require manual file removal after a crash-and-recovery.
Fix for pg_cursors view to prevent errors by excluding cursors that aren't completely set up.
Reduce logical decoding memory consumption.
Fix to prevent stable functions from receiving stale row values when they're called from a CALL statement's argument list and the CALL is within a PL/pgSQL EXCEPTION block.
Fix for JIT crashes on ARM (aarch64) systems.
The psql \watch now treats values that are less than 1ms to be 0 (no wait between executions).
Fix failure to use credentials for a replication user in the password file (pgpass)
pg_combinebackup now throws an error if an incremental backup file is present in a directory that should contain a full backup.
Fix to avoid reindexing temporary tables and indexes in vacuumdb and parallel reindexdb

CVE-2024-7348: PostgreSQL relation replacement during pg_dump executes arbitrary SQL

CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 8.8

Supported, Vulnerable Versions: 12 - 16.

An attacker able to create and drop non-temporary objects could inject SQL code that would be executed by a concurrent pg_dump session with the privileges of the role running pg_dump (which is often a superuser). The attack involves replacing a sequence or similar object with a view or foreign table that will execute malicious code. To prevent this, introduce a new server parameter restrict_nonsystem_relation_kind that can disable expansion of non-builtin views as well as access to foreign tables, and teach pg_dump to set it when available. Note that the attack is prevented only if both pg_dump and the server it is dumping from are new enough to have this fix.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

Avoid incorrect results from "Merge Right Anti Join" plans, where if the inner relation is known to have unique join keys, the merge could misbehave when there are duplicated join keys in the outer relation.
Prevent infinite loop in VACUUM.
Fix partition pruning setup during ALTER TABLE DETACH ... PARTITION CONCURRENTLY.
Fix behavior of stable functions that are used as an argument to a CALL statement.
pg_sequence_last_value() now returns NULL instead of throwing an error when called on unlogged sequences on standby servers and on temporary sequences of other sessions.
Fix parsing of ignored operators in websearch_to_tsquery().
Correctly check updatability of view columns targeted by INSERT ... DEFAULT.
Lock owned sequences during ALTER TABLE ... SET LOGGED|UNLOGGED.
Don't throw an error if a queued AFTER trigger no longer exists.
Fix selection of an arbiter index for INSERT ... ON CONFLICT when the desired index has expressions or predicates, for example, through an updatable view.
Refuse to modify a temporary table of another session with ALTER TABLE.
Fix handling of extended statistics on expressions in CREATE TABLE ... LIKE STATISTICS.
Fix failure to recalculate sub-queries generated from MIN() or MAX() aggregates.
Disallow underscores in positional parameters.
Avoid crashing when a JIT-inlined backend function throws an error.
Fix handling of subtransactions of prepared transactions when starting a hot standby server.
Prevent incorrect initialization of logical replication slots.
Fix memory leak in the logical replication WAL sender when publishing changes to a partitioned table whose partitions have row types that are physically different from the table.
Disable creation of stateful TLS session tickets by OpenSSL.
Fix how PL/pgSQL handles integer ranges containing underscores (e.g., FOR i IN 1_001..1_002).
Fix incompatibility between PL/Perl and Perl 5.40.
Several fixes related to recursive PL/Python functions and triggers.
Ensure that pg_restore -l reports dependent table of contents entries correctly.
pg_stat_statements now passes a query ID for utility (non-SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE) statements that appears in SQL-language functions.
Fix for postgres_fdw when mapping a foreign table to a nontrivial remote view.
postgres_fdw no longer sends a FETCH FIRST WITH TIES clause to a remote server.

postgresql: updated to 16.3, 15.7, 14.12, 13.15, 12.19

PostgreSQL 16.3, 15.7, 14.12, 13.15, and 12.19

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported versions of PostgreSQL, including 16.3, 15.7, 14.12, 13.15, and 12.19. This release fixes one security vulnerability and over 55 bugs reported over the last several months.

A security vulnerability was found in the system views pg_stats_ext and pg_stats_ext_exprs, potentially allowing authenticated database users to see data they don't have sufficient privileges to view. The fix for this vulnerability only fixes fresh PostgreSQL installations, namely those that are created with the initdb utility after this fix is applied. If you have a current PostgreSQL installation and are concerned about this issue, please follow the instructions in the "Updating" section for remediation steps.

For the full list of changes, please review the release notes.

postgresql: updated to 15.2, 14.7, 13.10, 12.14, and 11.19

Security Issues

CVE-2022-41862: Client memory disclosure when connecting, with Kerberos, to modified server.

Versions Affected: 12 - 15.

A modified, unauthenticated server or an unauthenticated man-in-the-middle can send an unterminated string during the establishment of Kerberos transport encryption. When a libpq client application has a Kerberos credential cache and doesn't explicitly disable option gssencmode, a server can cause libpq to over-read and report an error message containing uninitialized bytes from and following its receive buffer. If libpq's caller somehow makes that message accessible to the attacker, this achieves a disclosure of the over-read bytes. We have not confirmed or ruled out viability of attacks that arrange for a crash or for presence of notable, confidential information in disclosed bytes.

The PostgreSQL project thanks Jacob Champion for reporting this problem.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update fixes over 60 bugs that were reported in the last several months. The issues listed below affect PostgreSQL 15. Some of these issues may also affect other supported versions of PostgreSQL.

postgresqlNN: updated to 14.3, 13.7, 12.11, 11.16, and 10.21

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported versions of PostgreSQL, including 14.3, 13.7, 12.11, 11.16, and 10.21. This release closes one security vulnerability and fixes over 50 bugs reported over the last three months.

CVE-2022-1552: Autovacuum, REINDEX, and others omit "security restricted operation" sandbox.

Versions Affected: 10 - 14. The security team typically does not test unsupported versions, but this problem is quite old.

Autovacuum, REINDEX, CREATE INDEX, REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW, CLUSTER, and pg_amcheck made incomplete efforts to operate safely when a privileged user is maintaining another user's objects. Those commands activated relevant protections too late or not at all. An attacker having permission to create non-temp objects in at least one schema could execute arbitrary SQL functions under a superuser identity.

While promptly updating PostgreSQL is the best remediation for most users, a user unable to do that can work around the vulnerability by disabling autovacuum, not manually running the above commands, and not restoring from output of the pg_dump command. Performance may degrade quickly under this workaround. VACUUM is safe, and all commands are fine when a trusted user owns the target object.


Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update fixes over 50 bugs that were reported in the last several months. The issues listed below affect PostgreSQL 14. Some of these issues may also affect other supported versions of PostgreSQL.

Included in this release:

Fix issue that could lead to corruption of GiST indexes on ltree columns. After upgrading, you will need to reindex any GiST indexes on ltree columns.
Column names in tuples produced by a whole-row variable (e.g. tbl.*) outside of a top-level of a SELECT list are now always associated with those of the associated named composite type, if there is one. The release notes detail a workaround if you depend on the previous behavior.
Fix incorrect rounding when extracting epoch values from interval types.
Prevent issues with calling pg_stat_get_replication_slot(NULL).
Fix incorrect output for types timestamptz and timetz in table_to_xmlschema().
Fix errors related to a planner issue that affected asynchronous remote queries.
Fix planner failure if a query using SEARCH or CYCLE features contains a duplicate common-table expression (WITH) name.
Fix ALTER FUNCTION to support changing a function's parallelism property and its SET-variable list in the same command.
Fix incorrect sorting of table rows when using CLUSTER on an index whose leading key is an expression.
Prevent data loss if a system crash occurs shortly after a sorted GiST index build.
Fix risk of deadlock failures while dropping a partitioned index.
Fix race condition between DROP TABLESPACE and checkpointing that could fail to remove all dead files from the tablespace directory.
Fix potential issue in crash recovery after a TRUNCATE command that overlaps with a checkpoint.
Re-allow _ as the first character in a custom configuration parameter name.
Fix PANIC: xlog flush request is not satisfied failure during standby promotion when there is a missing WAL continuation record.
Fix possibility of self-deadlock in hot standby conflict handling.
Ensure that logical replication apply workers can be restarted when the server is near the max_sync_workers_per_subscription limit.
Disallow execution of SPI functions during PL/Perl function compilation.
libpq now accepts root-owned SSL private key files, which matches the rules the server has used since the 9.6 release.
Re-allow database.schema.table patterns in psql, pg_dump, and pg_amcheck.
Several fixes for pageinspect to improve overall stability.
Disable batch insertion in postgres_fdw when BEFORE INSERT ... FOR EACH ROW triggers exist on the foreign table.
Update JIT code to work with LLVM 14.

postgresql1N: updated to 14.2, 13.6, 12.10, 11.15, and 10.20

PostgreSQL 14.2, 13.6, 12.10, 11.15, and 10.20 Released!

This update fixes over 55 bugs that were reported in the last several months. The issues listed below affect PostgreSQL 14. Some of these issues may also affect other supported versions of PostgreSQL.

Included in this release:

Fix for a low probability scenario of index corruption when a HOT (heap-only tuple) chain changes state during VACUUM. Encountering this issue is unlikely, but if you are concerned, please consider reindexing.
Fix for using REINDEX CONCURRENTLY on TOAST table indexes to prevent corruption. You can fix any TOAST indexes by reindexing them again.
The psql \password command now defaults to setting the password for the role defined by CURRENT_USER. Additionally, the role name is now included in the password prompt.
Build extended statistics for partitioned tables. If you previously added extended statistics to a partitioned table, you should run ANALYZE on those tables. As autovacuum currently does not process partitioned tables, you must periodically run ANALYZE on any partitioned tables to update their statistics.
Fix crash with ALTER STATISTICS when the statistics object is dropped concurrently.
Fix crash with multiranges when extracting variable-length data types.

   Security Issues

   CVE-2021-23214: Server processes unencrypted bytes from man-in-the-middle

   Versions Affected: 9.6 - 14. The security team typically does not test
   unsupported versions, but this problem is quite old.

   When the server is configured to use trust authentication with a
   clientcert requirement or to use cert authentication, a
   man-in-the-middle attacker can inject arbitrary SQL queries when a
   connection is first established, despite the use of SSL certificate
   verification and encryption.

   The PostgreSQL project thanks Jacob Champion for reporting this problem.

   CVE-2021-23222: libpq processes unencrypted bytes from man-in-the-middle

   Versions Affected: 9.6 - 14. The security team typically does not test
   unsupported versions, but this problem is quite old.

   A man-in-the-middle attacker can inject false responses to the
   client's first few queries, despite the use of SSL certificate
   verification and encryption.

   If more preconditions hold, the attacker can exfiltrate the client's
   password or other confidential data that might be transmitted early in
   a session. The attacker must have a way to trick the client's intended
   server into making the confidential data accessible to the attacker. A
   known implementation having that property is a PostgreSQL
   configuration vulnerable to CVE-2021-23214.

   As with any exploitation of CVE-2021-23214, the server must be using
   trust authentication with a clientcert requirement or using cert
   authentication. To disclose a password, the client must be in
   possession of a password, which is atypical when using an
   authentication configuration vulnerable to CVE-2021-23214. The
   attacker must have some other way to access the server to retrieve the
   exfiltrated data (a valid, unprivileged login account would be
   sufficient).

   The PostgreSQL project thanks Jacob Champion for reporting this problem.

   Bug Fixes and Improvements

   This update fixes over 40 bugs that were reported in the last several
   months. The issues listed below affect PostgreSQL 14. Some of these
   issues may also affect other supported versions of PostgreSQL.

   Some of these fixes include:

   Fix physical replication for cases where the primary crashes after
   shipping a WAL segment that ends with a partial WAL record. When
   applying this update, update your standby servers before the primary
   so that they will be ready to handle the fix if the primary happens to
   crash.
   Fix parallel VACUUM so that it will process indexes below the
   min_parallel_index_scan_size threshold if the table has at least two
   indexes that are above that size. This problem does not affect
   autovacuum. If you are affected by this issue, you should reindex any
   manually-vacuumed tables.
   Fix causes of CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY and REINDEX CONCURRENTLY
   writing corrupt indexes. You should reindex any concurrently-built
   indexes.
   Fix for attaching/detaching a partition that could allow certain
   INSERT/UPDATE queries to misbehave in active sessions.
   Fix for creating a new range type with CREATE TYPE that could cause
   problems for later event triggers or subsequent executions of the
   CREATE TYPE command.
   Fix updates of element fields in arrays of a domain that is a part of
   a composite.
   Disallow the combination of FETCH FIRST WITH TIES and FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED.
   Fix corner-case loss of precision in the numeric power() function.
   Fix restoration of a Portal's snapshot inside a subtransaction, which
   could lead to a crash. For example, this could occur in PL/pgSQL when
   a COMMIT is immediately followed by a BEGIN ... EXCEPTION block that
   performs a query.
   Clean up correctly if a transaction fails after exporting its
   snapshot. This could occur if a replication slot was created then
   rolled back, and then another replication slot was created in the same
   session.
   Fix for "overflowed-subtransaction" wraparound tracking on standby
   servers that could lead to performance degradation.
   Ensure that prepared transactions are properly accounted for during
   promotion of a standby server.
   Ensure that the correct lock level is used when renaming a table.
   Avoid crash when dropping a role that owns objects being dropped concurrently.
   Disallow setting huge_pages to on when shared_memory_type is sysv
   Fix query type checking in the PL/pgSQL RETURN QUERY.
   Several fixes for pg_dump, including the ability to dump non-global
   default privileges correctly.
   Use the CLDR project's data to map Windows time zone names to IANA time zones.
   This update also contains tzdata release 2021e for DST law changes in
   Fiji, Jordan, Palestine, and Samoa, plus historical corrections for
   Barbados, Cook Islands, Guyana, Niue, Portugal, and Tonga.

   Also, the Pacific/Enderbury zone has been renamed to Pacific/Kanton.
   Also, the following zones have been merged into nearby, more-populous
   zones whose clocks have agreed with them since 1970: Africa/Accra,
   America/Atikokan, America/Blanc-Sablon, America/Creston,
   America/Curacao, America/Nassau, America/Port_of_Spain,
   Antarctica/DumontDUrville, and Antarctica/Syowa. In all these cases,
   the previous zone name remains as an alias.

Security Issues

CVE-2021-3677: Memory disclosure in certain queries

Versions Affected: 11 - 13.

A purpose-crafted query can read arbitrary bytes of server memory. In the default configuration, any authenticated database user can complete this attack at will. The attack does not require the ability to create objects. If server settings include max_worker_processes=0, the known versions of this attack are infeasible. However, undiscovered variants of the attack may be independent of that setting.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update also fixes over 75 bugs that were reported in the last several months. Some of these issues affect only version 13, but many affect all supported versions.

Some of these fixes include:

Completely disable TLS/SSL renegotiation. This was previously disabled, but the server would still execute a client-initiated renegotiation request.
Restore the Portal-level snapshot after COMMIT or ROLLBACK within a procedure. This change fixes cases where an attempt to fetch a toasted value immediately after COMMIT/ROLLBACK would fail with errors like "no known snapshots" or "missing chunk number 0 for toast value".
Avoid misbehavior when persisting the output of a cursor that's reading a volatile query.
Reject cases where a query in WITH rewrites to just NOTIFY, which would cause a crash.
Several corner-case fixes for numeric types.
ALTER EXTENSION now locks the extension when adding or removing a member object.
The "enabled" status is now copied when a partitioned table's triggers are cloned to a new partition.
Avoid alias conflicts in queries generated for REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY. This command failed on materialized views containing columns with certain names, notably mv and newdata.
Disallow whole-row variables in GENERATED expressions.
Several fixes for DROP OWNED BY behavior in relation to row-level security (RLS) policies.
Re-allow old-style Windows locale names in CREATE COLLATION commands.
walsenders now show their latest replication command in pg_stat_activity, instead of just showing the latest SQL command.
pg_settings.pending_restart now shows as true when a pertinent entry in postgresql.conf is removed.
On 64-bit Windows, allow the effective value of work_mem * hash_mem_multiplier to exceed 2GB.
Update minimum recovery point when WAL replay of a transaction abort record causes file truncation.
Advance oldest-required-WAL-segment horizon properly after a replication slot is invalidated. This fixes an issue where the server's WAL storage could run out of space.
Improve progress reporting for the sort phase of a parallel B-tree index build.
Fix assorted crash cases in logical replication of partitioned-table updates and when firing AFTER triggers of partitioned tables.
Prevent infinite loops in SP-GiST index insertion.
Ensure that SP-GiST index insertion can be terminated by a query cancel request.
In psql and other client programs, avoid overrunning the ends of strings when dealing with invalidly-encoded data.
Fix pg_dump to correctly handle triggers on partitioned tables whose enabled status is different from their parent triggers' status.
Avoid "invalid creation date in header" warnings when running pg_restore on a file created in a different time zone.
pg_upgrade now carries forward the old installation's oldestXID value and no longer forces an anti-wraparound VACUUM."
Extend pg_upgrade to detect and warn about extensions that should be upgraded.
Fix contrib/postgres_fdw to better work with generated columns, so long as a generated column in a foreign table represents a generated column in the remote table.

postgresql: updated to 13.3, 12.7, 11.12, 10.17, 9.6.22

PostgreSQL 13.3, 12.7, 11.12, 10.17, and 9.6.22 Released!

Posted on 2021-05-13 by PostgreSQL Global Development Group
 PostgreSQL Project  Security
The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported versions of our database system, including 13.3, 12.7, 11.12, 10.17, and 9.6.22. This release closes three security vulnerabilities and fixes over 45 bugs reported over the last three months.

For the full list of changes, please review the release notes.

Security Issues

CVE-2021-32027: Buffer overrun from integer overflow in array subscripting calculations

Versions Affected: 9.6 - 13. The security team typically does not test unsupported versions, but this problem is quite old.

While modifying certain SQL array values, missing bounds checks let authenticated database users write arbitrary bytes to a wide area of server memory.

The PostgreSQL project thanks Tom Lane for reporting this problem.

CVE-2021-32028: Memory disclosure in INSERT ... ON CONFLICT ... DO UPDATE

Versions Affected: 9.6 - 13. The security team typically does not test unsupported versions. The feature first appeared in 9.5.

Using an INSERT ... ON CONFLICT ... DO UPDATE command on a purpose-crafted table, an attacker can read arbitrary bytes of server memory. In the default configuration, any authenticated database user can create prerequisite objects and complete this attack at will. A user lacking the CREATE and TEMPORARY privileges on all databases and the CREATE privilege on all schemas cannot use this attack at will.

The PostgreSQL project thanks Andres Freund for reporting this problem.

CVE-2021-32029: Memory disclosure in partitioned-table UPDATE ... RETURNING

Versions Affected: 11 - 13

Using an UPDATE ... RETURNING on a purpose-crafted partitioned table, an attacker can read arbitrary bytes of server memory. In the default configuration, any authenticated database user can create prerequisite objects and complete this attack at will. A user lacking the CREATE and TEMPORARY privileges on all databases and the CREATE privilege on all schemas typically cannot use this attack at will.

The PostgreSQL project thanks Tom Lane for reporting this problem.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update fixes over 45 bugs that were reported in the last several months. Some of these issues only affect version 13, but could also apply to other supported versions.

Some of these fixes include:

Fix potential incorrect computation of UPDATE ... RETURNING outputs for joined, cross-partition updates.
Fix ALTER TABLE ... ALTER CONSTRAINT when used on foreign-key constraints on partitioned tables. The command would fail to adjust the DEFERRABLE and/or INITIALLY DEFERRED properties of the constraints and triggers of leaf partitions, leading to unexpected behavior. After updating to this version, you can execute the ALTER TABLE ... ALTER CONSTRAINT command to fix any misbehaving partitioned tables.
Ensure that when a child table is attached with ALTER TABLE ... INHERIT that generated columns in the parent are generated in the same way in the child.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported versions of our database system, including 13.2, 12.6, 11.11, 10.16, 9.6.21, and 9.5.25. This release closes two security vulnerabilities and fixes over 80 bugs reported over the last three months.

Additionally, this is the final release of PostgreSQL 9.5. If you are running PostgreSQL 9.5 in a production environment, we suggest that you make plans to upgrade.

For the full list of changes, please review the release notes.

Security Issues

CVE-2021-3393: Partition constraint violation errors leak values of denied columns

Versions Affected: 11 - 13.

A user having an UPDATE privilege on a partitioned table but lacking the SELECT privilege on some column may be able to acquire denied-column values from an error message. This is similar to CVE-2014-8161, but the conditions to exploit are more rare.

The PostgreSQL project thanks Heikki Linnakangas for reporting this problem.

CVE-2021-20229: Single-column SELECT privilege enables reading all columns

Versions Affected: 13.

A user having a SELECT privilege on an individual column can craft a special query that returns all columns of the table.

Additionally, a stored view that uses column-level privileges will have incomplete column-usage bitmaps. In installations that depend on column-level permissions for security, it is recommended to execute CREATE OR REPLACE on all user-defined views to force them to be re-parsed.

The PostgreSQL project thanks Sven Klemm for reporting this problem.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update fixes over 80 bugs that were reported in the last several months. Some of these issues only affect version 13, but could also apply to other supported versions.

Some of these fixes include:

Fix an issue with GiST indexes where concurrent insertions could lead to a corrupt index with entries placed in the wrong pages. You should REINDEX any affected GiST indexes.
Fix CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY to ensure rows from concurrent prepared transactions are included in the index. Installations that have enabled prepared transactions should REINDEX any concurrently-built indexes.
Fix for possible incorrect query results when a hash aggregation is spilled to disk.
Fix edge case in incremental sort that could lead to sorting results incorrectly or a "retrieved too many tuples in a bounded sort" error.
Avoid crash when a CALL or DO statement that performs a transaction rollback is executed via extended query protocol, such as from prepared statements.
Fix a failure when a PL/pgSQL procedure used CALL on another procedure that has OUT parameters that executed a COMMIT or ROLLBACK.
Remove errors from BEFORE UPDATE triggers on partitioned tables for restrictions that no longer apply.
Several fixes for queries with joins that could lead to error messages such as "no relation entry for relid N" or "failed to build any N-way joins".
Do not consider parallel-restricted or set-returning functions in an ORDER BY expressions when trying to parallelize sorts.
Fix ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES to handle duplicate arguments safely.
Several fixes in behavior when wal_level is set to minimal, including when tables are rewritten within a transaction.
Several fixes for CREATE TABLE LIKE.
Ensure that allocated disk space for a dropped relation (e.g. a table) is released promptly when a transaction is committed.
Fix progress reporting for CLUSTER.
Fix handling of backslash-escaped multibyte characters in COPY FROM.
Fix recently-introduced race conditions in LISTEN/NOTIFY queue handling.
Allow the jsonb concatenation operator (||) to handle all combinations of JSON data types.
Fix WAL-reading logic so that standbys can handle timeline switches correctly. This issue could have shown itself with errors like "requested WAL segment has already been removed".
Several leak fixes for the walsender process around logical decoding and replication.
Ensure that a nonempty value of krb_server_keyfile always overrides any setting of KRB5_KTNAME in the server environment
Several fixes for GSS encryption support.
Ensure the \connect command allows the use of a password in the connection_string argument.
Fix assorted bugs with the \help command.
Several fixes for pg_dump.
Ensure that pg_rewind accounts for all WAL when rewinding a standby server.
Fix memory leak in contrib/auto_explain.
Ensure all postgres_fdw connections are closed if the a user mapping or foreign server object those connections depend on are dropped.
Fix JIT compilation to be compatible with LLVM 11 and LLVM 12.
This update also contains tzdata release 2021a for DST law changes in Russia (Volgograd zone) and South Sudan, plus historical corrections for Australia, Bahamas, Belize, Bermuda, Ghana, Israel, Kenya, Nigeria, Palestine, Seychelles, and Vanuatu.

Notably, the Australia/Currie zone has been corrected to the point where it is identical to Australia/Hobart.

For the full list of changes available, please review the release notes.

PostgreSQL 9.5 is EOL

This is the final release of PostgreSQL 9.5. If you are running PostgreSQL 9.5 in a production environment, we suggest that you make plans to upgrade to a newer, supported version of PostgreSQL. Please see our versioning policy for more information.

PostgreSQL 13.1, 12.5, 11.10, 10.15, 9.6.20, and 9.5.24

Security Issues

* CVE-2020-25695: Multiple features escape "security restricted operation" sandbox
* CVE-2020-25694: Reconnection can downgrade connection security settings
* CVE-2020-25696: psql's \gset allows overwriting specially treated variables

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update also fixes over 65 bugs that were reported in the last several months. Some of these issues only affect version 13, but may also apply to other supported versions.

Some of these fixes include:

Fix a breakage in the replication protocol by ensuring that two "command completion" events are expected for START_REPLICATION.
Ensure fsync is called on the SLRU caches that PostgreSQL maintains. This prevents potential data loss due to an operating system crash.
Fix ALTER ROLE usage for users with the BYPASSRLS permission.
ALTER TABLE ONLY ... DROP EXPRESSION is disallowed on partitioned tables when there are child tables.
Ensure that ALTER TABLE ONLY ... ENABLE/DISABLE TRIGGER does not apply to child tables.
Fix for ALTER TABLE ... SET NOT NULL on partitioned tables to avoid a potential deadlock in parallel pg_restore.
Fix handling of expressions in CREATE TABLE LIKE with inheritance.
DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY is disallowed on partitioned tables.
Allow LOCK TABLE to succeed on a self-referential view instead of throwing an error.
Several fixes around statistics collection and progress reporting for REINDEX CONCURRENTLY.
Ensure that GENERATED columns are updated when any columns they depend on are updated via a rule or an updatable view.
Support hash partitioning with text array columns as partition keys.
Allow the jsonpath .datetime() method to accept ISO 8601-format timestamps.
During a "smart" shutdown, ensure background processes are not terminated until all foreground client sessions are completed, fixing an issue that broke the processing of parallel queries.
Several fixes for the query planner and optimizer.
Ensure that data is de-toasted before being inserted into a BRIN index. This could manifest itself with errors like "missing chunk number 0 for toast value NNN". If you have seen a similar error in an existing BRIN index, you should be able to correct it by using REINDEX on the index.
Fix the output of EXPLAIN to have the correct XML tag nesting for incremental sort plans.
Several fixes for memory leaks, including ones involving RLS policies, using CALL with PL/pgSQL, SIGHUP processing a configuration parameter that cannot be applied without a restart, and an edge-case for index lookup for a partition.
libpq can now support arbitrary-length lines in the .pgpass file.
On Windows, psql now reads the output of a backtick command in text mode, not binary mode, so it can now properly handle newlines.
Fix how pg_dump, pg_restore, clusterdb, reindexdb, and vacuumdb use complex connection-string parameters.
When the \connect command of psql reuses connection parameters, ensure that all non-overridden parameters from a previous connection string are also re-used.
Ensure that pg_dump collects per-column information about extension configuration tables, avoiding crashes when specifying --inserts.
Ensure that parallel pg_restore processes foreign keys referencing partitioned tables in the correct order.
Several fixes for contrib/pgcrypto, including a memory leak fix.

PostgreSQL 12.4, 11.9, 10.14, 9.6.19, 9.5.23

Security Issues

CVE-2020-14349: Uncontrolled search path element in logical replication.
Versions Affected: 10 - 12.

The PostgreSQL search_path setting determines schemas searched for tables, functions, operators, etc. The CVE-2018-1058 fix caused most PostgreSQL-provided client applications to sanitize search_path, but logical replication continued to leave search_path unchanged. Users of a replication publisher or subscriber database can create objects in the public schema and harness them to execute arbitrary SQL functions under the identity running replication, often a superuser. Installations having adopted a documented secure schema usage pattern are not vulnerable.

The PostgreSQL project thanks Noah Misch for reporting this problem.

CVE-2020-14350: Uncontrolled search path element in CREATE EXTENSION.
Versions Affected: 9.5 - 12. The security team typically does not test unsupported versions, but this problem is quite old.

When a superuser runs certain CREATE EXTENSION statements, users may be able to execute arbitrary SQL functions under the identity of that superuser. The attacker must have permission to create objects in the new extension's schema or a schema of a prerequisite extension. Not all extensions are vulnerable.

In addition to correcting the extensions provided with PostgreSQL, the PostgreSQL Global Development Group is issuing guidance for third-party extension authors to secure their own work.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update also fixes over 50 bugs that were reported in the last several months. Some of these issues affect only version 12, but many affect all supported versions.

Some of these fixes include:

Fix edge cases in partition pruning involving multiple partition key columns with multiple or no constraining WHERE clauses.
Several fixes for query planning and execution involving partitions.
Fix for determining when to execute a column-specific UPDATE trigger on a logical replication subscriber.
pg_replication_slot_advance() now updates the oldest xmin and LSN values, as the failure to do this could prevent resources (e.g. WAL files) from being cleaned up.
Fix a performance regression in ts_headline().
Ensure that pg_read_file() and related functions read until EOF is reached, which fixes compatibility with pipes and other virtual files.
Forbid numeric NaN values in jsonpath computations, which do not exist in SQL nor JSON.
Several fixes for NaN inputs with aggregate functions. This fixes a change in PostgreSQL 12 where NaN values caused the following aggregates to emit values of 0 instead of NaN: corr(), covar_pop(), regr_intercept(), regr_r2(), regr_slope(), regr_sxx(), regr_sxy(), regr_syy(), stddev_pop(), and var_pop().
time and timetz values fractionally greater than 24:00:00 are now rejected.
Several fixes for EXPLAIN, including a fix for reporting resource usage when a plan uses parallel workers with "Gather Merge" nodes.
Fix timing of constraint revalidation in ALTER TABLE that could lead to odd errors.
Fix for REINDEX CONCURRENTLY that could prevent old values from being included in future logical decoding output.
Fix for LATERAL references that could potentially cause crashes during query execution.
Use the collation specified for a query when estimating operator costs
Fix conflict-checking anomalies in SERIALIZABLE transaction isolation mode.
Ensure checkpointer process discards file sync requests when fsync is off
Fix issue where pg_control could be written out with an inconsistent checksum, which could lead to the inability to restart the database if it crashed before the next pg_control update.
Ensure that libpq continues to try to read from the database connection socket after a write failure, as this allows the connection to collect any final error messages from the server.
Report out-of-disk-space errors properly in pg_dump and pg_basebackup
Several fixes for pg_restore, including a fix for parallel restore on tables that have both table-level and column-level privileges.
Fix for pg_upgrade to ensure it runs with vacuum_defer_cleanup_age set to 0.
Fix how pg_rewind handles just-deleted files in the source data directory
Fix failure to initialize local state correctly in contrib/dblink, which could lead to dblink_close() issuing an unexpected COMMIT on the remote server.
Change contrib/amcheck to not report about deleted index pages that are empty, as this is normal during WAL replay.

PostgreSQL 12.3, 11.8, 10.13, 9.6.18, and 9.5.22 Released!

Posted on 2020-05-14 by PostgreSQL Global Development Group
The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported versions of our database system, including 12.3, 11.8, 10.13, 9.6.18, and 9.5.22. This release fixes one security issue found in the PostgreSQL server and over 75 bugs reported over the last three months.

Please plan to update at your earliest convenience.

Security Issues

CVE-2020-10733: Windows installer runs executables from uncontrolled directories.
Versions Affected: 9.5 - 12. The security team does not test unsupported versions, but this issue existed before PostgreSQL 9.5.

The Windows installer for PostgreSQL invokes system-provided executables that do not have fully-qualified paths. Executables in the directory where the installer loads or the current working directory take precedence over the intended executables. An attacker having permission to add files into one of those directories can use this to execute arbitrary code with the installer's administrative rights.

The PostgreSQL project thanks Hou JingYi (@hjy79425575) for reporting this problem.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update also fixes over 75 bugs that were reported in the last several months. Some of these issues affect only version 12, but may also affect all supported versions.

Some of these fixes include:

Several fixes for GENERATED columns, including an issue where it was possible to crash or corrupt data in a table when the output of the generated column was the exact copy of a physical column on the table, e.g. if the expression called a function which could return its own input.
Several fixes for ALTER TABLE, including ensuring the SET STORAGE directive is propagated to a table's indexes.
Fix a potential race condition when using DROP OWNED BY while another session is deleting the same objects.
Allow for a partition to be detached when it has inherited ROW triggers.
Several fixes for REINDEX CONCURRENTLY, particularly with issues when a REINDEX CONCURRENTLY operation fails.
Fix crash when COLLATE is applied to an uncollatable type in a partition bound expression.
Fix performance regression in floating point overflow/underflow detection.
Several fixes for full text search, particularly with phrase searching.
Fix query-lifespan memory leak for a set-returning function used in a query's FROM clause.
Several reporting fixes for the output of VACUUM VERBOSE.
Allow input of type circle to accept the format (x,y),r, which is specified in the documentation.
Allow for the get_bit() and set_bit() functions to not fail on bytea strings longer than 256MB.
Avoid premature recycling of WAL segments during crash recovery, which could lead to WAL segments being recycled before being archived.
Avoid attempting to fetch nonexistent WAL files from archive storage during recovery by skipping irrelevant timelines.
Several fixes for logical replication and replication slots.
Fix several race conditions in synchronous standby management, including one that occurred when changing the synchronous_standby_names setting.
Several fixes for GSSAPI support, include a fix for a memory leak that occurred when using GSSAPI encryption.
Ensure that members of the pg_read_all_stats role can read all statistics views.
Fix performance regression in information_schema.triggers view.
Fix memory leak in libpq when using sslmode=verify-full.
Fix crash in psql when attempting to re-establish a failed connection.
Allow tab-completion of the filename argument to \gx command in psql.
Add pg_dump support for ALTER ... DEPENDS ON EXTENSION.
Several other fixes for pg_dump, which include dumping comments on RLS policies and postponing restore of event triggers until the end.
Ensure pg_basebackup generates valid tar files.
pg_checksums skips tablespace subdirectories that belong to a different PostgreSQL major version
Several Windows compatibility fixes
This update also contains tzdata release 2020a for DST law changes in Morocco and the Canadian Yukon, plus historical corrections for Shanghai. The America/Godthab zone has been renamed to America/Nuuk to reflect current English usage ; however, the old name remains available as a compatibility link. This also updates initdb's list of known Windows time zone names to include recent additions.

PostgreSQL 9.4 Now EOL

This is the last release for PostgreSQL 9.4, which will no longer receive security updates and bug fixes. PostgreSQL 9.4 introduced new features such as JSONB support, the ALTER SYSTEM command, the ability to stream logical changes to an output plugin, and more.

While we are very proud of this release, these features are also found in newer versions of PostgreSQL. Many of these features have also received improvements, and, per our versioning policy, it is time to retire PostgreSQL 9.4.

To receive continued support, we suggest that you make plans to upgrade to a newer, supported version of PostgreSQL. Please see the PostgreSQL versioning policy for more information.


Security Issues

CVE-2020-1720: ALTER ... DEPENDS ON EXTENSION is missing authorization checks.
Versions Affected: 9.6 - 12

The ALTER ... DEPENDS ON EXTENSION sub-commands do not perform authorization checks, which can allow an unprivileged user to drop any function, procedure, materialized view, index, or trigger under certain conditions. This attack is possible if an administrator has installed an extension and an unprivileged user can CREATE, or an extension owner either executes DROP EXTENSION predictably or can be convinced to execute DROP EXTENSION.


Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update also fixes over 75 bugs that were reported in the last several months. Some of these issues affect only version 12, but may also affect all supported versions.

Some of these fixes include:

Fix for partitioned tables with foreign-key references where TRUNCATE ... CASCADE would not remove all data. If you have previously used TRUNCATE ... CASCADE on a partitioned table with foreign-key references please see the "Updating" section for verification and cleanup steps.
Fix failure to add foreign key constraints to table with sub-partitions (aka a multi-level partitioned table). If you have previously used this functionality, you can fix it by either detaching and re-attaching the affected partition, or by dropping and re-adding the foreign key constraint to the parent table. You can find more information on how to perform these steps in the ALTER TABLE documentation.
Fix performance issue for partitioned tables introduced by the fix for CVE-2017-7484 that now allows the planner to use statistics on a child table for a column that the user is granted access to on the parent table when the query contains a leaky operator.
Several other fixes and changes for partitioned tables, including disallowing partition key expressions that return pseudo-types, such as RECORD.
Fix for logical replication subscribers for executing per-column UPDATE triggers.
Fix for several crashes and failures for logical replication subscribers and publishers.
Improve efficiency of logical replication with REPLICA IDENTITY FULL.
Ensure that calling pg_replication_slot_advance() on a physical replication slot will persist changes across restarts.
Several fixes for the walsender processes.
Improve performance of hash joins with very large inner relations.
Fix placement of "Subplans Removed" field in EXPLAIN output by placing it with its parent Append or MergeAppend plan.
Several fixes for parallel query plans.
Several fixes for query planner errors, including one that affected joins to single-row subqueries.
Several fixes for MCV extend statistics, including one for incorrect estimation for OR clauses.
Improve efficiency of parallel hash join on CPUs with many cores.
Ignore the CONCURRENTLY option when performing an index creation, drop, or reindex on a temporary table.
Fall back to non-parallel index builds when a parallelized CREATE INDEX has no free dynamic shared memory slots.
Several fixes for GiST & GIN indexes.
Fix possible crash in BRIN index operations with box, range and inet data types.
Fix support for BRIN hypothetical indexes.
Fix failure in ALTER TABLE when a column referenced in a GENERATED expression is added or changed in type earlier in the same ALTER TABLE statement.
Fix handling of multiple AFTER ROW triggers on a foreign table.
Fix off-by-one result for EXTRACT(ISOYEAR FROM timestamp) for BC dates.
Prevent unwanted lowercasing and truncation of RADIUS authentication parameters in the pg_hba.conf file.
Several fixes for GSSAPI support, including having libpq accept all GSS-related connection parameters even if the GSSAPI code is not compiled in.
Several fixes for pg_dump and pg_restore when run in parallel mode.
Fix crash with postgres_fdw when trying to execute a remote query on the remote server such as UPDATE remote_tab SET (x,y) = (SELECT ...).
Disallow NULL category values in the crosstab() function of contrib/tablefunc to prevent crashes.
Several fixes for Windows, including a race condition that could cause timing oddities with NOTIFY.
Several ecpg fixes.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update also fixes over 50 bugs that were reported in the last several months. Some of these issues affect only version 12, but may also affect all supported versions.

Some of these fixes include:

Fix crash that occurs when ALTER TABLE adds a column without a default value along with other changes that require a table rewrite
Several fixes for REINDEX CONCURRENTLY.
Fix for VACUUM that would cause it to fail under a specific case involving a still-running transaction.
Fix for a memory leak that could occur when VACUUM runs on a GiST index.
Fix for an error that occurred when running CLUSTER on an expression index.
Fix failure for SET CONSTRAINTS ... DEFERRED on partitioned tables.
Several fixes for the creation and dropping of indexes on partitioned tables.
Fix for partition-wise joins that could lead to planner failures.
Ensure that offset expressions in WINDOW clauses are processed when a query's expressions are manipulated.
Fix misbehavior of bitshiftright() where it failed to zero out padding space in the last byte if the bit string length is not a multiple of 8. For how to correct your data, please see the "Updating" section.
Ensure an empty string that is evaluated by the position() functions returns 1, as per the SQL standard.
Fix for a parallel query failure when it is unable to request a background worker.
Fix crash triggered by a case involving a BEFORE UPDATE trigger.
Display the correct error when a query tries to access a TOAST table.
Allow encoding conversion to succeed on strings with output up to 1GB. Previously there was hard limit of 0.25GB on the input string.
Ensure that temporary WAL and history files are removed at the end of archive recovery.
Avoid failure in archive recovery if recovery_min_apply_delay is enabled.
Ignore restore_command, recovery_end_command, and recovery_min_apply_delay settings during crash recovery.
Several fixes for logical replication, including a failure when the publisher and subscriber had different REPLICA IDENTITY columns set.
Correctly timestamp replication messages for logical decoding, which in the broken case would lead to pg_stat_subscription.last_msg_send_time set to NULL.
Several fixes for libpq, including one that improves PostgreSQL 12 compatibility.
Several pg_upgrade fixes.
Fix how a parallel restore handles foreign key constraints on partitioned tables to ensure they are not created too soon.
pg_dump now outputs similarly named triggers and RLS policies in order based on table name, instead of OID.
Fix pg_rewind to not update the contents of pg_control when using the --dry-run option.

This update also contains tzdata release 2019c for DST law changes in Fiji and Norfolk Island. Historical corrections for Alberta, Austria, Belgium, British Columbia, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indiana (Perry County), Kaliningrad, Kentucky, Michigan, Norfolk Island, South Korea, and Turkey.
