* Un-break peer authentication.Tom Lane2014-03-281-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Commit 613c6d26bd42dd8c2dd0664315be9551475b8864 sloppily replaced a lookup of the UID obtained from getpeereid() with a lookup of the server's own user name, thus totally destroying peer authentication. Revert. Per report from Christoph Berg. In passing, make sure get_user_name() zeroes *errstr on success on Windows as well as non-Windows. I don't think any callers actually depend on this ATM, but we should be consistent across platforms.

* Prevent potential overruns of fixed-size buffers.Tom Lane2014-02-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Coverity identified a number of places in which it couldn't prove that a string being copied into a fixed-size buffer would fit. We believe that most, perhaps all of these are in fact safe, or are copying data that is coming from a trusted source so that any overrun is not really a security issue. Nonetheless it seems prudent to forestall any risk by using strlcpy() and similar functions. Fixes by Peter Eisentraut and Jozef Mlich based on Coverity reports. In addition, fix a potential null-pointer-dereference crash in contrib/chkpass. The crypt(3) function is defined to return NULL on failure, but chkpass.c didn't check for that before using the result. The main practical case in which this could be an issue is if libc is configured to refuse to execute unapproved hashing algorithms (e.g., "FIPS mode"). This ideally should've been a separate commit, but since it touches code adjacent to one of the buffer overrun changes, I included it in this commit to avoid last-minute merge issues. This issue was reported by Honza Horak. Security: CVE-2014-0065 for buffer overruns, CVE-2014-0066 for crypt()
* Fix unsafe references to errno within error messaging logic.Tom Lane2014-01-291-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various places were supposing that errno could be expected to hold still within an ereport() nest or similar contexts. This isn't true necessarily, though in some cases it accidentally failed to fail depending on how the compiler chanced to order the subexpressions. This class of thinko explains recent reports of odd failures on clang-built versions, typically missing or inappropriate HINT fields in messages. Problem identified by Christian Kruse, who also submitted the patch this commit is based on. (I fixed a few issues in his patch and found a couple of additional places with the same disease.) Back-patch as appropriate to all supported branches.
* Make various variables const (read-only).Tom Lane2014-01-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These changes should generally improve correctness/maintainability. A nice side benefit is that several kilobytes move from initialized data to text segment, allowing them to be shared across processes and probably reducing copy-on-write overhead while forking a new backend. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to help libpq in the same way (at least not when it's compiled with -fpic on x86_64), but we can hope the linker at least collects all nominally-const data together even if it's not actually part of the text segment. Also, make pg_encname_tbl[] static in encnames.c, since there seems no very good reason for any other code to use it; per a suggestion from Wim Lewis, who independently submitted a patch that was mostly a subset of this one.

* Use improved vsnprintf calling logic in more places.Tom Lane2013-10-241-23/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we are using a C99-compliant vsnprintf implementation (which should be most places, these days) it is worth the trouble to make use of its report of how large the buffer needs to be to succeed. This patch adjusts stringinfo.c and some miscellaneous usages in pg_dump to do that, relying on the logic recently added in libpgcommon's psprintf.c. Since these places want to know the number of bytes written once we succeed, modify the API of pvsnprintf() to report that. There remains near-duplicate logic in pqexpbuffer.c, but since that code is in libpq, psprintf.c's approach of exit()-on-error isn't appropriate for use there. Also note that I didn't bother touching the multitude of places that call (v)snprintf without any attempt to provide a resizable buffer. Release-note-worthy incompatibility: the API of appendStringInfoVA() changed. If there's any third-party code that's calling that directly, it will need tweaking along the same lines as in this patch. David Rowley and Tom Lane
* Replace pg_asprintf() with psprintf().Tom Lane2013-10-221-38/+0
| | | | | | This eliminates an awkward coding pattern that's also unnecessarily inconsistent with backend coding. psprintf() is now the thing to use everywhere.
* Get rid of use of asprintf() in favor of a more portable implementation.Tom Lane2013-10-223-40/+208
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | asprintf(), aside from not being particularly portable, has a fundamentally badly-designed API; the psprintf() function that was added in passing in the previous patch has a much better API choice. Moreover, the NetBSD implementation that was borrowed for the previous patch doesn't work with non-C99-compliant vsnprintf, which is something we still have to cope with on some platforms; and it depends on va_copy which isn't all that portable either. Get rid of that code in favor of an implementation similar to what we've used for many years in stringinfo.c. Also, move it into libpgcommon since it's not really libpgport material. I think this patch will be enough to turn the buildfarm green again, but there's still cosmetic work left to do, namely get rid of pg_asprintf() in favor of using psprintf(). That will come in a followon patch.

* Switch dependency order of libpgcommon and libpgportPeter Eisentraut2013-10-173-1/+880
| | | | | | | | | | | Continuing 63f32f3416a8b4f8e057dc184e8e8eae734ccc8a, libpgcommon should depend on libpgport, but not vice versa. But wait_result_to_str() in wait_error.c depends on pstrdup() in libpgcommon. So move exec.c and wait_error.c from libpgport to libpgcommon. Also switch the link order in the place that's actually used by the failing ecpg builds. The function declarations have been left in port.h for now. That should perhaps be separated sometime.
* Add use of asprintf()Peter Eisentraut2013-10-132-28/+49

| | | | | | | This enables non-backend code, such as pg_xlogdump, to use it easily. The previous location, in src/backend/catalog/catalog.c, made that essentially impossible because that file depends on many backend-only facilities; so this needs to live separately.

* Create libpgcommon, and move pg_malloc et al to itAlvaro Herrera2013-02-122-0/+192
libpgcommon is a new static library to allow sharing code among the various frontend programs and backend; this lets us eliminate duplicate implementations of common routines. We avoid libpgport, because that's intended as a place for porting issues; per discussion, it seems better to keep them separate. The first use case, and the only implemented by this patch, is pg_malloc and friends, which many frontend programs were already using. At the same time, we can use this to provide palloc emulation functions for the frontend; this way, some palloc-using files in the backend can also be used by the frontend cleanly. To do this, we change palloc() in the backend to be a function instead of a macro on top of MemoryContextAlloc(). This was previously believed to cause loss of performance, but this implementation has been tweaked by Tom and Andres so that on modern compilers it provides a slight improvement over the previous one. This lets us clean up some places that were already with localized hacks. Most of the pg_malloc/palloc changes in this patch were authored by Andres Freund. Zoltán Böszörményi also independently provided a form of that. libpgcommon infrastructure was authored by Álvaro.
