The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported versions of our database system, including 9.6.1, 9.5.5, 9.4.10, 9.3.15, 9.2.19, and 9.1.24. This is also the last update for the PostgreSQL 9.1 series as it is now end-of-life. This release fixes two issues that can cause data corruption, which are described in more detail below. It also patches a number of other bugs reported over the last three months. The project urges users to apply this update at the next possible downtime.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported versions of our database system, including 9.5.4, 9.4.9, 9.3.14, 9.2.18 and 9.1.23. This release fixes two security issues. It also patches a number of other bugs reported over the last three months. Users who rely on security isolation between database users should update as soon as possible. Other users should plan to update at the next convenient downtime. Security Issues --------------- Two security holes have been closed by this release: CVE-2016-5423: certain nested CASE expressions can cause the server to crash. CVE-2016-5424: database and role names with embedded special characters can allow code injection during administrative operations like pg_dumpall. The fix for the second issue also adds an option, -reuse-previous, to psql's \connect command. pg_dumpall will also refuse to handle database and role names containing line breaks after the update. For more information on these issues and how they affect backwards-compatibility, see the Release Notes. Bug Fixes and Improvements -------------------------- This update also fixes a number of bugs reported in the last few months. Some of these issues affect only version 9.5, but many affect all supported versions: Fix misbehaviors of IS NULL/IS NOT NULL with composite values Fix three areas where INSERT ... ON CONFLICT failed to work properly with other SQL features. Make INET and CIDR data types properly reject bad IPv6 values Prevent crash in "point ## lseg" operator for NaN input Avoid possible crash in pg_get_expr() Fix several one-byte buffer over-reads in to_number() Don't needlessly plan query if WITH NO DATA is specified Avoid crash-unsafe state in expensive heap_update() paths Fix hint bit update during WAL replay of row locking operations Avoid unnecessary "could not serialize access" with FOR KEY SHARE Avoid crash in postgres -C when the specified variable is a null string Fix two issues with logical decoding and subtransactions Ensure that backends see up-to-date statistics for shared catalogs Prevent possible failure when vacuuming multixact IDs in an upgraded database When a manual ANALYZE specifies columns, don't reset changes_since_analyze Fix ANALYZE's overestimation of n_distinct for columns with nulls Fix bug in b-tree mark/restore processing Fix building of large (bigger than shared_buffers) hash indexes Prevent infinite loop in GiST index build with NaN values Fix possible crash during a nearest-neighbor indexscan Fix "PANIC: failed to add BRIN tuple" error Prevent possible crash during background worker shutdown Many fixes for issues in parallel pg_dump and pg_restore Make pg_basebackup accept -Z 0 as no compression Make regression tests safe for Danish and Welsh locales

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported versions of our database system, including 9.5.2, 9.4.7, 9.3.12, 9.2.16, and 9.1.21. This release fixes two security issues and one index corruption issue in version 9.5. It also contains a variety of bug fixes for earlier versions. Users of PostgreSQL 9.5.0 or 9.5.1 should update as soon as possible. This release closes security hole CVE-2016-2193, where a query plan might get reused for more than one ROLE in the same session. This could cause the wrong set of Row Level Security (RLS) policies to be used for the query. The update also fixes CVE-2016-3065, a server crash bug triggered by using pageinspect with BRIN index pages. Since an attacker might be able to expose a few bytes of server memory, this crash is being treated as a security issue.

Changes: This release primarily fixes issues not successfully fixed in prior releases. It should be applied as soon as possible all users of major versions 9.3 and 9.4. Other users should apply at the next available downtime. Crash Recovery Fixes: Earlier update releases attempted to fix an issue in PostgreSQL 9.3 and 9.4 with "multixact wraparound", but failed to account for issues doing multixact cleanup during crash recovery. This could cause servers to be unable to restart after a crash. As such, all users of 9.3 and 9.4 should apply this update as soon as possible.

This minor release fixes a data corruption issue with replication and crash recovery in version 9.3, as well as several other minor issues in all versions. All users of version 9.3 are urged to update their installations at the next possible downtime. Users of older versions should update at their convenience. The data corruption issue in PostgreSQL 9.3 affects binary replication standbys, servers being recovered from point-in-time-recovery backup, and standalone servers which recover from a system crash. The bug causes unrecoverable index corruption during recovery due to incorrect replay of row locking operations. This can then cause query results to be inconsistent depending on whether or not an index is used, and eventually lead to primary key violations and similar issues. For this reason, users are encouraged to replace each of their standby databases with a new base backup after applying the update. Other PostgreSQL 9.3-only fixes in this update include: Make sure that statistics files for dropped databases get deleted Allow materialized views to be referenced in UPDATE and DELETE queries Add read-only data_checksum parameter Prevent erroneous operator push-down in postgres_fdw This release resolves some other issues in all versions of PostgreSQL, including: Fix timing consistency issue with NOTIFY Allow regular expression execution to be cancelled Improve performance of index checks for newly added rows Prevent premature walsender disconnection Prevent memory errors on newer Windows versions Update timezone files

Changes: This update fixes CVE-2014-0060, in which PostgreSQL did not properly enforce the WITH ADMIN OPTION permission for ROLE management. This update also fixes some issues which affect binary replication and row locking, and can cause recoverable data corruption in some cases. In addition to the above, the following issues are fixed in this release: Fix WAL logging of visibility map change Make sure that GIN indexes log all insertions Get pause_at_recovery_target to pause at correct time Ensure walreceiver sends hot-standby feedback messages on time Prevent timeout interrupts from taking control away from mainline code Eliminate several race conditions Fix some broken HINTs in error messages Prevent server lockup on SSL connection loss Fix two Unicode handling issues Prevent crash on certain subselect syntax Prevent crash on select from zero column table Fix two bugs with LATERAL Fix issue with UNION ALL, partitioning, and updates Ensure that ANALYZE understands domains over ranges Eliminate permissions check when using default tablespace Fix memory leakage in JSON functions Allow extensions with event triggers Distinguish numbers correctly in JSON output Fix permissions for pg_start_backup() and pg_stop_backup() Accept SHIFT_JIS as locale name Fix .* expansion for SQL function variables Prevent infinite loop on some COPY connection failures Several fixes for client issues on Windows Enable building PostgreSQL with Visual Studio 2013 Update time zone files for recent changes

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released a critical update to all supported versions of the PostgreSQL database system, which includes minor versions 9.3.2, 9.2.6, 9.1.11, 9.0.15, and 8.4.19. This update fixes three serious data-loss bugs affecting replication and database maintenance. All users are urged to update their installations at the earliest opportunity. The replication issue affects some users of PostgreSQL binary replication, and can cause minor data loss between the master and the standby. While not all users are affected, it is difficult to predict when the bug will occur, so we urge all users of replication and continuous backup (PITR) to update immediately. Additionally, users who had replication running under PostgreSQL minor versions 9.3.0, 9.3.1, 9.2.5, 9.1.10, or 9.0.14 should plan to take a fresh base backup of each standby after update, in order to ensure no prior data corruption already exists. This release also fixes two timing issues with VACUUM, which can cause old, overwritten or deleted rows to re-appear at a later date under some circumstances. Users with very high transaction rates, particularly those who experience "transaction ID wraparound" every few weeks or less, are the most at risk for this issue. Those users should set vacuum_freeze_table_age to 0, and run a database-wide VACUUM after the update. The second of the two VACUUM issues affects only 9.3, making it expecially important for 9.3 users to update.

Two lesser security fixes are also included in this release: CVE-2013-1900, wherein random numbers generated by contrib/pgcrypto functions may be easy for another database user to guess, and CVE-2013-1901, which mistakenly allows an unprivileged user to run commands that could interfere with in-progress backups. Finally, this release fixes two security issues with the graphical installers for Linux and Mac OS X: insecure passing of superuser passwords to a script, CVE-2013-1903 and the use of predictable filenames in /tmp CVE-2013-1902.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released a security update to all current versions of the PostgreSQL database system, including versions 9.2.3, 9.1.8, 9.0.12, 8.4.16, and 8.3.23. This update fixes a denial-of-service (DOS) vulnerability. All users should update their PostgreSQL installations as soon as possible. The security issue fixed in this release, CVE-2013-0255, allows a previously authenticated user to crash the server by calling an internal function with invalid arguments. This issue was discovered by independent security researcher Sumit Soni this week and reported via Secunia SVCRP, and we are grateful for their efforts in making PostgreSQL more secure. Today's update also fixes a performance regression which caused a decrease in throughput when using dynamic queries in stored procedures in version 9.2. Applications which use PL/pgSQL's EXECUTE are strongly affected by this regression and should be updated. Additionally, we have fixed intermittent crashes caused by CREATE/DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY, and multiple minor issues with replication. This release is expected to be the final update for version 8.3, which is now End-of-Life (EOL). Users of version 8.3 should plan to upgrade to a later version of PostgreSQL immediately. For more information, see our Versioning Policy. This update release also contains fixes for many minor issues discovered and patched by the PostgreSQL community in the last two months, including: * Prevent unnecessary table scans during vacuuming * Prevent spurious cached plan error in PL/pgSQL * Allow sub-SELECTs to be subscripted * Prevent DROP OWNED from dropping databases or tablespaces * Make ECPG use translated messages * Allow PL/Python to use multi-table trigger functions (again) in 9.1 and 9.2 * Fix several activity log management issues on Windows * Prevent autovacuum file truncation from being cancelled by deadlock_timeout * Make extensions build with the .exe suffix automatically on Windows * Fix concurrency issues with CREATE/DROP DATABASE * Reject out-of-range values in to_date() conversion function * Revert cost estimation for large indexes back to pre-9.2 behavior * Make pg_basebackup tolerate timeline switches * Cleanup leftover temp table entries during crash recovery * Prevent infinite loop when COPY inserts a large tuple into a table with a large fillfactor * Prevent integer overflow in dynahash creation * Make pg_upgrade work with INVALID indexes * Fix bugs in TYPE privileges * Allow Contrib installchecks to run in their own databases * Many documentation updates * Add new timezone "FET".

This release fixes a significant page ordering issue with Hot Standby which could cause index corruption on the standby under some circumstances. In addition, this update patches timing issues with checkpoint and transaction ID wraparound which could cause data corruption in some cases. Today's update also fixes multiple issues with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY and DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY, which can cause those commands to fail or produce corrupt indexes. Users who use this feature may want to REINDEX or recreate affected indexes (see below). This update release also contains fixes for many minor issues discovered and patched by the PostgreSQL community in the last month, including several fixes which are specific to version 9.2. These include: * Prevent psql crash due to incorrectly encoded input data * Fix pg_regress gmake build issues * Make sure correct directory is created for extensions * Fix some issues with buffer locks and VACUUM * Multiple fixes and improvements for pg_upgrade * Fix bugs with end-of-recovery when failing over to a standby * Avoid bogus "out-of-sequence timeline ID" errors in standby-mode * Don't launch new child processes during shutdown * Improve the ability of JOINs to use partial indexes * Fix assorted integer overflow errors * Eliminate memory leaks in record_out() and record_send() * Skip searching for subtransaction logs at COMMIT * Fix WaitLatch() timing issues * Fix handling of inherited check constraints in ALTER COLUMN TYPE * Make ALTER EXTENSION SET SCHEMA behave as documented * Have SEQUENCE SET statements in the "data" section of sectional dumps * Prevent parser from believing that VIEWs have system columns * Fix --clean mode for pg_dump * Prevent hash table corruption on out-of-memory * Various query planner and executor fixes and improvements * Multiple documentation updates * DST updates for seven timezones

databases/postgresql(-client): Revert most of last commit After discussing gcc47 build problems with postgresql developers, it became apparent that the error was unique to DragonFly. It turns out that DragonFly was using an older offsetof macro instead of the builtin version provided by GCC. Fixing the offsetof macro on DragonFly allowed the pre-patched psgsql 91 to build without issue. While the previous patches certainly don't hurt anything, they are being removed to ease future maintenance. The warning suppression fix is still valid, so the change to the pgsql client makefile is being left in place.

databases/postgresql91(-client): Fix build for gcc46 and gcc47 Postgresql91 uses non-constant array sizes in record definitions which gcc enforces starting with 4.6. These index sizes are defined as macros using functions such as offsetof. These patches introduce enums where the macros become constant expressions which gcc 4.6+ will accept. GCC 4.7 also introduces the unused-but-set-variable warning which is popping up all over the place in pgsql91, so silence these warnings - they are harmless and get optimized out anyway. No revbump because functionality won't change on binaries generated with gcc4.5 and below.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all current versions of the PostgreSQL database system, including 9.2.1, 9.1.6, 9.0.10, 8.4.14 and 8.3.21. This update fixes critical issues for major versions 9.1 and 9.2, and users running those versions should apply it as soon as possible. Users of versions 8.3, 8.4 and 9.0 should plan to update at the next scheduled downtime. The update fixes two potential data corruption issues present in the PostgreSQL 9.1 and 9.2 for any server which has crashed, been shutdown with "immediate", or was failed over to a standby. First, the PostgreSQL development team has discovered a chance of corruption of BTREE and GIN indexes for databases. Second, there is a significant chance of corruption of the visibility map. This update fixes both issues. We strongly advise users of 9.1 and 9.2 to run VACUUM and/or index rebuilds after applying the update. Please see the 2012-09-24 Update wiki page for detailed instructions. This update release also contains fixes for many minor issues discovered and patched by the PostgreSQL community in the last month, including many fixes for the newly released version 9.2. These include: fix sorting issue with IN lists and indexes fix planner failure when combining GROUP BY with window functions improve selectivity of text searches using prefixes prevent rescanning of WITH clauses from giving wrong answers fix PL/Perl crashing issue reduce bloat for multi-column GiST indexes time zone data changes for Fiji disallow Extensions from circular schema assignment prevent crashes when default_transaction_isolation is set to "serializable" several minor fixes to pg_upgrade

Version 9.1 delivers several features which users have been requesting for years, removing roadblocks to deploying new or ported applications on PostgreSQL. These include: * Synchronous Replication: enable high-availability with consistency across multiple servers * Per-Column Collations: support linguistically-correct sorting per database, table or column. * Unlogged Tables: greatly improves performance for ephemeral data Our community of contributors innovates with cutting-edge features. Version 9.1 includes several which are new to the database industry, such as: * K-Nearest-Neighbor Indexing: index on "distance" for faster location and text search queries * Serializable Snapshot Isolation: keeps concurrent transactions consistent without blocking, using "true serializability" * Writeable Common Table Expressions: execute complex multi-stage data updates in a single query * Security-Enhanced Postgres: deploy military-grade security and Mandatory Access Control
