PostgreSQL 12.2, 11.7, 10.12, 9.6.17, 9.5.21, and 9.4.26

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.

PostgreSQL 12.1, 11.6, 10.11, 9.6.16, 9.5.20, and 9.4.25 Released!

PostgreSQL 9.4 EOL Approaching

PostgreSQL 9.4 will stop receiving fixes on February 13, 2020, which is the next planned cumulative update release. Please see our versioning policy for more information.

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.

Security Issues

Four security vulnerabilities have been closed by this release:

CVE-2019-10208: TYPE in pg_temp executes arbitrary SQL during SECURITY DEFINER execution

Versions Affected: 9.4 - 11

Given a suitable SECURITY DEFINER function, an attacker can execute arbitrary SQL under the identity of the function owner. An attack requires EXECUTE permission on the function, which must itself contain a function call having inexact argument type match. For example, length('foo'::varchar) and length('foo') are inexact, while length('foo'::text) is exact. As part of exploiting this vulnerability, the attacker uses CREATE DOMAIN to create a type in a pg_temp schema. The attack pattern and fix are similar to that for CVE-2007-2138.

Writing SECURITY DEFINER functions continues to require
following the considerations noted in the documentation:


The PostgreSQL project thanks Tom Lane for reporting this problem.

CVE-2019-10209: Memory disclosure in cross-type comparison for hashed subplan

Versions Affected: 11

In a database containing hypothetical, user-defined hash equality operators, an attacker could read arbitrary bytes of server memory. For an attack to become possible, a superuser would need to create unusual operators. It is possible for operators not purpose-crafted for attack to have the properties that enable an attack, but we are not aware of specific examples.

The PostgreSQL project thanks Andreas Seltenreich for reporting this problem.

CVE-2019-10210: EnterpriseDB Windows installer writes PostgreSQL superuser password to unprotected temporary file

Versions Affected: The EnterpriseDB Windows installer for versions 9.4 - 11

The EnterpriseDB Windows installer writes a password to a temporary file in its installation directory, creates initial databases, and deletes the file. During those seconds while the file exists, a local attacker can read the PostgreSQL superuser password from the file.

The PostgreSQL project thanks Noah Misch for reporting this problem.

CVE-2019-10211: EnterpriseDB Windows installer bundled OpenSSL executes code from unprotected directory

Versions Affected: The EnterpriseDB Windows installer for versions 9.4 - 11

When the database server or libpq client library initializes SSL, libeay32.dll attempts to read configuration from a hard-coded directory. Typically, the directory does not exist, but any local user could create it and inject configuration. This configuration can direct OpenSSL to load and execute arbitrary code as the user running a PostgreSQL server or client. Most PostgreSQL client tools and libraries use libpq, and one can encounter this vulnerability by using any of them. This vulnerability is much like CVE-2019-5443, but it originated independently. One can work around the vulnerability by setting environment variable OPENSSL_CONF to "NUL:/openssl.cnf" or any other name that cannot exist as a file.

The PostgreSQL project thanks Daniel Gustafsson of the curl security team for reporting this problem.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update also fixes over 40 bugs that were reported in the last several months. Some of these issues affect only version 11, but many affect all supported versions.

Some of these fixes include:

Fix for ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN TYPE when multiple column types are modified in a single-command. This issue was introduced in the previous cumulative update (11.4, 10.9, 9.6.14, 9.5.18, 9.4.23, and 12 beta 2).
Ensure that partition key columns will not be dropped as the result of an "indirect drop," such as from a cascade from dropping the key column's data type (e.g. a custom data type). This fix is applied only to newly created partitioned tables: if you believe you have an affected partition table (e.g. one where the partition key uses a custom data type), you will need to either create a new table and move your data into it OR use pg_upgrade.
Prevent dropping a partitioned table's trigger if there are pending trigger events in child partitions. This particularly affects foreign key constraints, which are implemented by triggers.
Several additional fixes for partitioning, including a fix for partition pruning that could lead to inefficient queries.
Fix for parallel hash joins that could lead to duplicate result rows in EXISTS queries.
Several fixes for the query planner.
Several fixes for issues that would lead to query deadlocks.
Fix for multi-column foreign keys when rebuilding a foreign key constraint.
Prevent extended statistics from being built for inherited tables.
Fix for the canonicalization of date ranges that include -infinity/infinity endpoints to ensure the behavior matches the documentation.
Fix loss of fractional digits when converting very large money values to numeric.
Fix for PL/pgSQL functions that return composite types.
Make libpq ignore the \r carriage return in connection service files, which was causing connection failures in some edge cases.
Several fixes for psql, which includes avoiding incorrect tab completion options after SET variable =.
Improve reliability of contrib/amcheck's index verification.
Set initdb to prefer the timezone behavior defined by the C library instead of what is defined by localtime or posixrules. This ensures PostgreSQL uses the "real" timezone name instead of an artificial name.
Fix pg_dump to ensure that custom operator classes are dumped in the correct order to prevent creating an unrestorable dump.
Fix possible lockup in pgbench when using -R option.
Fix spinlock assembly code for MIPS CPUs so that it works on MIPS r6.
This update also contains tzdata release 2019b for DST law changes in Brazil, plus historical corrections for Hong Kong, Italy, and Palestine. This update also adds support for zic's new -b slim option to reduce the size of the installed zone files, though it is not currently being used by PostgreSQL.

postgresqlNN: updated to 11.4, 10.9, 9.6.14, 9.5.18, 9.4.23

PostgreSQL 11.4, 10.9, 9.6.14, 9.5.18, 9.4.23, and 12 Beta 2 Released!

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported versions of our database system, including 11.4, 10.9, 9.6.14, 9.5.18, and 9.4.23, as well as the second beta of PostgreSQL 12. This release fixes one security issue and over 25 bugs since the previous cumulative update in May.

Security Issues

This release closes one security vulnerability:
CVE-2019-10164: Stack-based buffer overflow via setting a password
Versions affected: 10, 11, 12 beta.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

Fix assorted errors in run-time partition pruning that could lead to wrong answers in queries on partitioned tables
pg_dump now recreates table partitions using CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE .. ATTACH PARTITION rather than including PARTITION OF in the creation command
Improve how initdb determines which system time zone to select if there are equivalent names for the time zone. Also explicitly prefer UTC over UCT
Fix possible crash while trying to copy trigger definitions to a new partition
Fix failure of ALTER TABLE .. ALTER COLUMN TYPE when the table has a partial exclusion constraint

Fix incorrect optimization of {1,1} quantifiers in regular expressions
Fix issue for B-tree indexes during edge case failure involving columns covered with the INCLUDE clause, which manifests itself with errors during VACUUM. If you are affected by this issue, you will need to reindex the specific index
Fix race condition in check to see whether a pre-existing shared memory segment is still in use by a conflicting postmaster
Fix for the walreceiver process that avoids a crash or deadlock on shutdown
Avoid possible hang in libpq if using SSL and OpenSSL's pending-data buffer contains an exact multiple of 256 bytes
Fix ordering of GRANT commands emitted by pg_dump and pg_dumpall for databases and tablespaces
Fix misleading error reports from reindexdb
Ensure that vacuumdb returns correct status if an error occurs while using parallel jobs
Fix contrib/auto_explain to not cause problems in parallel queries, which resulted in failures like "could not find key N in shm TOC"
Account for possible data modifications by local BEFORE ROW UPDATE triggers in contrib/postgres_fdw
On Windows, avoid failure when the database encoding is set to SQL_ASCII and we attempt to log a non-ASCII string

postgresqlNN: updated to the latest

PostgreSQL 11.3, 10.8, 9.6.13, 9.5.17, and 9.4.22 Released!
The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported versions of our database system, including 11.3, 10.8, 9.6.13, 9.5.17, and 9.4.22. This release fixes two security issues in the PostgreSQL server, a security issue found in two of the PostgreSQL Windows installers, and over 60 bugs reported over the last three months.

Security Issues

Four security vulnerabilities have been closed by this release:

CVE-2019-10127: BigSQL Windows installer does not clear permissive ACL entries
CVE-2019-10128: EnterpriseDB Windows installer does not clear permissive ACL entries
Due to both the EnterpriseDB and BigSQL Windows installers not locking down the permissions of the PostgreSQL binary installation directory and the data directory, an unprivileged Windows user account and an unprivileged PostgreSQL account could cause the PostgreSQL service account to execute arbitrary code.

This vulnerability is present in all supported versions of PostgreSQL for these installers, and possibly exists in older versions. Both sets of installers have fixed the permissions for these directories for both new and existing installations. If you have installed PostgreSQL on Windows using other methods, we advise that you check that your PostgreSQL binary directories are writable only to trusted users and that your data directories are only accessible to trusted users.

The PostgreSQL project thanks Conner Jones for reporting this problem.

CVE-2019-10129: Memory disclosure in partition routing
Prior to this release, a user running PostgreSQL 11 can read arbitrary bytes of server memory by executing a purpose-crafted INSERT statement to a partitioned table.

CVE-2019-10130: Selectivity estimators bypass row security policies
PostgreSQL maintains statistics for tables by sampling data available in columns; this data is consulted during the query planning process. Prior to this release, a user able to execute SQL queries with permissions to read a given column could craft a leaky operator that could read whatever data had been sampled from that column. If this happened to include values from rows that the user is forbidden to see by a row security policy, the user could effectively bypass the policy. This is fixed by only allowing a non-leakproof operator to use this data if there are no relevant row security policies for the table.

This issue is present in PostgreSQL 9.5, 9.6, 10, and 11. The PostgreSQL project thanks Dean Rasheed for reporting this problem.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update also fixes over 60 bugs that were reported in the last several months. Some of these issues affect only version 11, but many affect all supported versions.

Some of these fixes include:

Several catalog corruption fixes, including one related to running ALTER TABLE on a partitioned table
Several fixes for partitioning
Avoid server crash when an error occurs while trying to persist a cursor query across a transaction commit
Avoid O(N^2) performance issue when rolling back a transaction that created many tables
Fix possible ãà×Äould not access status of transactionãàfailures in txid_status()
Fix updatable views to handle explicit DEFAULT items in INSERT .. VALUES statements where there are multiple VALUES rows
Fix CREATE VIEW to allow zero-column views
Add missing support for the CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS .. AS EXECUTE .. statement
Ensure that sub-SELECTs appearing in row-level-security policy expressions are executed with the correct user's permissions
Accept XML documents as valid values of type xml when xmloption is set to content, as required by SQL:2006 and later
Fix incompatibility of GIN-index WAL records that were introduced in 11.2, 10.7, 9.6.12, 9.5.16, and 9.4.21 that affected replica servers running these versions reading in changes to GIN indexes from primary servers of older versions
Several memory leak fixes as well as fixes to management of dynamic shared memory
Relax panics on fsync and sync_file_range failures for certain cases where a failure indicated "operation not supported"
Several fixes to the query planner, several of which should lead to planning improvements
Fix race condition in which a hot-standby postmaster could fail to shut down after receiving a smart-shutdown request
Several fixes for SCRAM authentication
Fix handling of lc_time settings that imply an encoding different from the database's encoding
Create the current_logfiles file with the same permissions as other files in the server's data directory
Several ecpg fixes
Make pg_verify_checksums verify that the data directory it's pointed at is of the right PostgreSQL version
Several fixes for contrib/postgres_fdw, including one for remote partitions where an UPDATE could lead to incorrect results or a crash
Several Windows fixes
This update also contains tzdata release 2019a for DST law changes in Palestine and Metlakatla, plus historical corrections for Israel. Etc/UCT is now a backward-compatibility link to Etc/UTC, instead of being a separate zone that generates the abbreviation UCT, which nowadays is typically a typo. PostgreSQL will still accept UCT as an input zone abbreviation, but it won't output it.

postgresNN: updated to the latest

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported versions of our database system, including 11.1, 10.6, 9.6.11, 9.5.15, 9.4.20, and 9.3.25. This release fixes one security issue as well as bugs reported over the last three months.

All users using the affected versions of PostgreSQL should update as soon as possible. Please see the notes on "Updating" below for any post-update steps that may be required if you are using pg_stat_statements in your installation.

This update is also the final release for PostgreSQL 9.3, which is now end-of-life and will no longer receive any bug or security fixes. If your environment still uses PostgreSQL 9.3, please make plans to update to a community supported version as soon as possible. Please see our versioning policy for more information.

Security Issues

One security vulnerability has been closed by this release:

CVE-2018-16850: SQL injection in pg_upgrade and pg_dump, via CREATE TRIGGER ... REFERENCING.
Versions Affected: 10, 11

Using a purpose-crafted trigger definition, an attacker can run arbitrary SQL statements with superuser privileges when a superuser runs pg_upgrade on the database or during a pg_dump dump/restore cycle. This attack requires a CREATE privilege on some non-temporary schema or a TRIGGER privilege on a table. This is exploitable in the default PostgreSQL configuration, where all users have CREATE privilege on public schema.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update also fixes numerous bugs that were reported in the last several months. Some of these issues affect only version 11, but many affect all supported versions.

These releases include fixes that:

Ensure that automatically created child indexes are created in the same tablespace as the parent partitioned index
Fix several crashes with triggers
Fix problems with applying ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS to a partitioned temporary table
Fix how NULL values are handled when using LEFT JOIN with a parallelized hash join
Several fixes around using named or defaulted arguments in CALL statements
Fix for strict aggregate functions (i.e. aggregates that cannot accept NULL inputs) with ORDER BY columns that enforces the strictness check
Fix with CASE statements where an expression was cast to an array type
Disable an optimization for updating expression indexes in order to prevent a crash
Fix a memory leak that occurred on a specific case of using a SP-GiST index
Fix for pg_verify_checksums incorrectly reporting on files that are not expected to have checksums
Prevent the PostgreSQL server from starting when wal_level is set to a value that cannot support an existing replication slot
Ensure that the server will process already-received NOTIFY and SIGTERM interrupts before waiting for client input
Allow PL/Ruby to work with newer versions of PostgreSQL
Fix for character-class checks on Windows for Unicode characters above U+FFFF, which affected full-text search as well as contrib/ltree and contrib/pg_trgm
Fix a case where psql would not report the receipt of a message from a NOTIFY call until after the next command
Fix build problems on macOS 10.14 (Mojave)
Several build fixes for the Windows platform
This updates also contains tzdata release 2018g for DST law changes in Chile, Fiji, Morocco, and Russia (Volgograd), plus historical corrections for China, Hawaii, Japan, Macau, and North Korea.

SECURITY ISSUES
One security vulnerability has been closed by this release:

CVE-2018-1115: Too-permissive access control list on function pg_logfile_rotate()
Please see the "Updating" section below for post-update steps.

BUG FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS
This update also fixes over 50 bugs reported in the last several months. Some of these issues affect only version 10, but many affect all supported versions.

These fixes include:
Fix incorrect volatility and parallel-safety markings on several built-in functions to ensure correct query planning optimizations
Several fixes for partitioning, including potential crashes as well as allowing TRUE and FALSE to be used as partition bounds
Fix where a new TOAST value could be assigned to a dead-but-not-yet-vacuumed TOAST OID, which would result in an error similar to "unexpected chunk number 0 (expected 1) for toast value nnnnn"
Fix "CREATE TABLE ... LIKE" with bigint identity columns on 32-bit platforms
Fix memory leak within the runtime of a query that repeatedly executes hash joins
Several crash fixes around queries using GROUPING SET
Avoid failure if a query-cancel or session-termination interrupt occurs while committing a prepared transaction
Reduce locking during autovacuum worker scheduling, which prevents loss of potential worker concurrency
Fix possible slow execution of REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY
Several fixes around query plans that use "index-only" scans
Avoid deadlocks in concurrent CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY commands that are run under SERIALIZABLE or REPEATABLE READ transaction isolation
Several fixes for SP-GiST indexes, including one collation-aware searches on text columns
Fixes related to counting the number of tuples in partial GiST, SP-GiST, and Bloom indexes
Several fixes for logical decoding and replication
Fix misquoting of values for list-valued GUC variables (e.g. local_preload_libraries, session_preload_libraries, shared_preload_libraries, temp_tablespaces) in dumps
Several fixes for pg_stat_activity
Several fixes for ecpg
Fix for pg_recvlogical to ensure compatibility with PostgreSQL versions released before 10
Several fixes for pg_rewind

postgresqlNN: updated to 10.3, 9.6.8, 9.5.12, 9.4.17, 9.3.22

PostgreSQL 10.3, 9.6.8, 9.5.12, 9.4.17, and 9.3.22:
The purpose of this release is to address CVE-2018-1058, which describes how a user can create like-named objects in different schemas that can change the behavior of other users' queries and cause unexpected or malicious behavior, also known as a "trojan-horse" attack. Most of this release centers around added documentation that describes the issue and how to take steps to mitigate the impact on PostgreSQL databases.

postgresql: updated to 10.2, 9.6.7, 9.5.11, 9.4.16, and 9.3.21

This release fixes two security issues. This release also fixes issues with VACUUM, GIN indexes, and hash indexes that could lead to data corruption, as well as fixes for using parallel queries and logical replication.

Security Issues
* CVE-2018-1052: Fix the processing of partition keys containing multiple expressions
* CVE-2018-1053: Ensure that all temporary files made with "pg_upgrade" are non-world-readable

Bug Fixes and Improvements
* Fix crash and potential disclosure of backend memory when processing partition keys containing multiple expressions
* Fix potential disclosure of temporary files containing database passwords created by pg_upgrade by not allowing these files to be world-accessible
* Fix cases where VACUUM would not remove dead rows if they were updated while "key-share" locked, leading to potential data corruption
* Fix for GIN indexes to prevent bloat by ensuring the pending-insertions list is cleaned up by VACUUM
* Fix potential index corruption with hash indexes due to failure to mark metapages as dirty
* Fix several potential crash scenarios for parallel queries, including when a bitmap heap scan cannot allocate memory
* Fix several potential hang-ups in parallel queries, including when a parallel worker fails to start
* Fix collection of EXPLAIN statistics from parallel workers
* Prevent fake deadlock failures when multiple sessions are running CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY
* Fix for trigger behavior when using logical replication
* Several fixes for "walsender" functionality to improve stability as well as visibility into the replication process
* Fix logical decoding to correctly clean up disk files for crashed transactions
* Several fixes for identity columns, including disallowing identity columns on tables derived from composite types and partitions
* Fix handling of list partitioning constraints for partition keys of boolean and array types
* Fix incorrectly generated plans for UPDATE and DELETE queries when a table has a mix of inherited regular and foreign child tables
* Fix incorrect query results from cases involving GROUPING SETS when used with flattened subqueries
* Fix UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT over zero columns, e.g. "SELECT UNION SELECT;"
* Several fixes for subqueries within a LATERAL subquery
* Several improvements for query planning estimation
* Allow a client that supports SCRAM channel binding, such as a future version of PostgreSQL or libpq, to connect to a PostgreSQL 10 server
* Fix sample INSTR() functions used to help transition from Oracle(r) PL/SQL to PostgreSQL PL/pgSQL to correctly match Oracle functional behavior
* Fix pg_dump to make permissions (ACL), security label, and comment entries reliably identifiable in archive outputs
* Modify behavior for contrib/cube's "cube ~> int" operator to make it compatible with KNN search. This is a backwards incompatible change and any expression indexes or materialized views using this operator will need to be reindexed and refreshed, respectively.
* Several fixes in contrib/postgres_fdw to prevent query planner errors
* Added modern examples of auto-start scripts for PostgreSQL on macOS in the contrib/start-scripts/macos directory
* Several fixes for Windows, including postmaster startup and compatibility with libperl
* Spinlock fixes and support for Motorola 68K and 88K architectures

Sort PLIST files.

Unsorted entries in PLIST files have generated a pkglint warning for at
least 12 years. Somewhat more recently, pkglint has learned to sort
PLIST files automatically. Since pkglint 5.4.23, the sorting is only
done in obvious, simple cases. These have been applied by running:

  pkglint -Cnone,PLIST -Wnone,plist-sort -r -F

postgresql: updated to the latest

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported versions of our database system, including 10.1, 9.6.6, 9.5.10, 9.4.15, 9.3.20, and 9.2.24. This release fixes three security issues. This release also fixes issues found in BRIN indexing, logical replication and other bugs reported over the past three months.

All users using the affected versions of PostgreSQL should update as soon as possible. If you use BRIN indexes or contrib/start-scripts, please see the release notes for additional post-upgrade steps.

Security Issues

Three security vulnerabilities have been fixed by this release:

CVE-2017-12172: Start scripts permit database administrator to modify root-owned files
CVE-2017-15098: Memory disclosure in JSON functions
CVE-2017-15099: INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE fails to enforce SELECT privileges


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 10, but many affect all supported versions:

Fix a race condition in BRIN indexing that could cause some rows to not be included in the indexing.
Fix crash when logical decoding is invoked from a PL language function.
Several fixes for logical replication.
Restored behavior for CTEs attached to INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE statements to pre-version 10.
Prevent low-probability crash in processing of nested trigger firings.
Do not evaluate an aggregate function's argument expressions when the conditions in the FILTER clause evaluate to FALSE. This complies with SQL-standard behavior.
Fix incorrect query results when multiple GROUPING SETS columns contain the same simple variable.
Fix memory leak over the lifespan of a query when evaluating a set-returning function from the target list in a SELECT.
Several fixes for parallel query execution, including fixing a crash in the parallel execution of certain queries that contain a certain type of bitmap scan.
Fix json_build_array(), json_build_object(), jsonb_build_array(), and jsonb_build_object() to handle explicit VARIADIC arguments correctly.
Prevent infinite float values from being casted to the numeric type.
Fix autovacuum's ãà×Øork itemãàlogic to prevent possible crashes and silent loss of work items.
Several fixes for VIEWs around adding columns to the end of a view.
Fix for hashability detection of range data types that are created by a user.
Improvements on using extended statistics on columns for the purposes of query planning.
Prevent idle_in_transaction_session_timeout from being ignored when a statement_timeout occurred earlier.
Fix low-probability loss of NOTIFY messages due more than 2 billion transactions processing before any queries are executed in the session.
Several file system interaction fixes.
Correctly restore the umask setting when file creation fails in COPY or lo_export().
Fix pg_dump to ensure that it emits GRANT commands in a valid order.
Fix pg_basebackup's matching of tablespace paths to canonicalize both paths before comparing to help improve Windows compatibility.
Fix libpq to not require user's home directory to exist when trying to read the "~/.pgpass" file.
Several fixes for ecpg.

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 9.4.5:
Two security issues have been fixed in this release which affect users of specific PostgreSQL features:

CVE-2015-5289: json or jsonb input values constructed from arbitrary user input can crash the PostgreSQL server and cause a denial of service.

CVE-2015-5288: The crypt() function included with the optional pgCrypto extension could be exploited to read a few additional bytes of memory. No working exploit for this issue has been developed.

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.
