* Break out OpenSSL-specific code to separate files.Heikki Linnakangas2014-08-112-4/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This refactoring is in preparation for adding support for other SSL implementations, with no user-visible effects. There are now two #defines, USE_OPENSSL which is defined when building with OpenSSL, and USE_SSL which is defined when building with any SSL implementation. Currently, OpenSSL is the only implementation so the two #defines go together, but USE_SSL is supposed to be used for implementation-independent code. The libpq SSL code is changed to use a custom BIO, which does all the raw I/O, like we've been doing in the backend for a long time. That makes it possible to use MSG_NOSIGNAL to block SIGPIPE when using SSL, which avoids a couple of syscall for each send(). Probably doesn't make much performance difference in practice - the SSL encryption is expensive enough to mask the effect - but it was a natural result of this refactoring. Based on a patch by Martijn van Oosterhout from 2006. Briefly reviewed by Alvaro Herrera, Andreas Karlsson, Jeff Janes.
* Rename lo_create(oid, bytea) to lo_from_bytea().Tom Lane2014-06-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous naming broke the query that libpq's lo_initialize() uses to collect the OIDs of the server-side functions it requires, because that query effectively assumes that there is only one function named lo_create in the pg_catalog schema (and likewise only one lo_open, etc). While we should certainly make libpq more robust about this, the naive query will remain in use in the field for the foreseeable future, so it seems the only workable choice is to use a different name for the new function. lo_from_bytea() won a small straw poll. Back-patch into 9.4 where the new function was introduced.
* pgindent run for 9.4Bruce Momjian2014-05-062-6/+6

* Fix assorted issues in client host name lookup.Tom Lane2014-04-021-6/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code for matching clients to pg_hba.conf lines that specify host names (instead of IP address ranges) failed to complain if reverse DNS lookup failed; instead it silently didn't match, so that you might end up getting a surprising "no pg_hba.conf entry for ..." error, as seen in bug #9518 from Mike Blackwell. Since we don't want to make this a fatal error in situations where pg_hba.conf contains a mixture of host names and IP addresses (clients matching one of the numeric entries should not have to have rDNS data), remember the lookup failure and mention it as DETAIL if we get to "no pg_hba.conf entry". Apply the same approach to forward-DNS lookup failures, too, rather than treating them as immediate hard errors. Along the way, fix a couple of bugs that prevented us from detecting an rDNS lookup error reliably, and make sure that we make only one rDNS lookup attempt; formerly, if the lookup attempt failed, the code would try again for each host name entry in pg_hba.conf. Since more or less the whole point of this design is to ensure there's only one lookup attempt not one per entry, the latter point represents a performance bug that seems sufficient justification for back-patching. Also, adjust src/port/getaddrinfo.c so that it plays as well as it can with this code. Which is not all that well, since it does not have actual support for rDNS lookup, but at least it should return the expected (and required by spec) error codes so that the main code correctly perceives the lack of functionality as a lookup failure. It's unlikely that PG is still being used in production on any machines that require our getaddrinfo.c, so I'm not excited about working harder than this. To keep the code in the various branches similar, this includes back-patching commits c424d0d1052cb4053c8712ac44123f9b9a9aa3f2 and 1997f34db4687e671690ed054c8f30bb501b1168 into 9.2 and earlier. Back-patch to 9.1 where the facility for hostnames in pg_hba.conf was introduced.
* Cleanups from the remove-native-krb5 patchMagnus Hagander2014-03-162-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | krb_srvname is actually not available anymore as a parameter server-side, since with gssapi we accept all principals in our keytab. It's still used in libpq for client side specification. In passing remove declaration of krb_server_hostname, where all the functionality was already removed. Noted by Stephen Frost, though a different solution than his suggestion
* Log a detail message for auth failures due to missing or expired password.Tom Lane2014-01-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's worth distinguishing these cases from run-of-the-mill wrong-password problems, since users have been known to waste lots of time pursuing the wrong theory about what's failing. Now, our longstanding policy about how to report authentication failures is that we don't really want to tell the *client* such things, since that might be giving information to a bad guy. But there's nothing wrong with reporting the details to the postmaster log, and indeed the comments in this area of the code contemplate that interesting details should be so reported. We just weren't handling these particular interesting cases usefully. To fix, add infrastructure allowing subroutines of ClientAuthentication() to return a string to be added to the errdetail_log field of the main authentication-failed error report. We might later want to use this to report other subcases of authentication failure the same way, but for the moment I just dealt with password cases. Per discussion of a patch from Josh Drake, though this is not what he proposed.
* Remove support for native krb5 authenticationMagnus Hagander2014-01-192-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | krb5 has been deprecated since 8.3, and the recommended way to do Kerberos authentication is using the GSSAPI authentication method (which is still fully supported). libpq retains the ability to identify krb5 authentication, but only gives an error message about it being unsupported. Since all authentication is initiated from the backend, there is no need to keep it at all in the backend.

* Rework SSL renegotiation codeAlvaro Herrera2013-10-101-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing renegotiation code was home for several bugs: it might erroneously report that renegotiation had failed; it might try to execute another renegotiation while the previous one was pending; it failed to terminate the connection if the renegotiation never actually took place; if a renegotiation was started, the byte count was reset, even if the renegotiation wasn't completed (this isn't good from a security perspective because it means continuing to use a session that should be considered compromised due to volume of data transferred.) The new code is structured to avoid these pitfalls: renegotiation is started a little earlier than the limit has expired; the handshake sequence is retried until it has actually returned successfully, and no more than that, but if it fails too many times, the connection is closed. The byte count is reset only when the renegotiation has succeeded, and if the renegotiation byte count limit expires, the connection is terminated. This commit only touches the master branch, because some of the changes are controversial. If everything goes well, a back-patch might be considered.

* Move pqsignal() to libpgport.Tom Lane2013-03-171-10/+1
| | | | | | | | | We had two copies of this function in the backend and libpq, which was already pretty bogus, but it turns out that we need it in some other programs that don't use libpq (such as pg_test_fsync). So put it where it probably should have been all along. The signal-mask-initialization support in src/backend/libpq/pqsignal.c stays where it is, though, since we only need that in the backend.
* Report pg_hba line number and contents when users fail to log inMagnus Hagander2013-03-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of just reporting which user failed to log in, log both the line number in the active pg_hba.conf file (which may not match reality in case the file has been edited and not reloaded) and the contents of the matching line (which will always be correct), to make it easier to debug incorrect pg_hba.conf files. The message to the client remains unchanged and does not include this information, to prevent leaking security sensitive information. Reviewed by Tom Lane and Dean Rasheed

* Produce a more useful error message for over-length Unix socket paths.Tom Lane2012-11-291-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The length of a socket path name is constrained by the size of struct sockaddr_un, and there's not a lot we can do about it since that is a kernel API. However, it would be a good thing if we produced an intelligible error message when the user specifies a socket path that's too long --- and getaddrinfo's standard API is too impoverished to do this in the natural way. So insert explicit tests at the places where we construct a socket path name. Now you'll get an error that makes sense and even tells you what the limit is, rather than something generic like "Non-recoverable failure in name resolution". Per trouble report from Jeremy Drake and a fix idea from Andrew Dunstan.
* Add API for 64-bit large object access. Now users can access up toTatsuo Ishii2012-10-071-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | 4TB large objects (standard 8KB BLCKSZ case). For this purpose new libpq API lo_lseek64, lo_tell64 and lo_truncate64 are added. Also corresponding new backend functions lo_lseek64, lo_tell64 and lo_truncate64 are added. inv_api.c is changed to handle 64-bit offsets.

* Parse pg_ident.conf when it's loaded, keeping it in memory in parsed format.Heikki Linnakangas2012-09-211-1/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Similar changes were done to pg_hba.conf earlier already, this commit makes pg_ident.conf to behave the same as pg_hba.conf. This has two user-visible effects. First, if pg_ident.conf contains multiple errors, the whole file is parsed at postmaster startup time and all the errors are immediately reported. Before this patch, the file was parsed and the errors were reported only when someone tries to connect using an authentication method that uses the file, and the parsing stopped on first error. Second, if you SIGHUP to reload the config files, and the new pg_ident.conf file contains an error, the error is logged but the old file stays in effect. Also, regular expressions in pg_ident.conf are now compiled only once when the file is loaded, rather than every time the a user is authenticated. That should speed up authentication if you have a lot of regexps in the file. Amit Kapila
* Support having multiple Unix-domain sockets per postmaster.Tom Lane2012-08-101-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace unix_socket_directory with unix_socket_directories, which is a list of socket directories, and adjust postmaster's code to allow zero or more Unix-domain sockets to be created. This is mostly a straightforward change, but since the Unix sockets ought to be created after the TCP/IP sockets for safety reasons (better chance of detecting a port number conflict), AddToDataDirLockFile needs to be fixed to support out-of-order updates of data directory lockfile lines. That's a change that had been foreseen to be necessary someday anyway. Honza Horak, reviewed and revised by Tom Lane

* Remove arbitrary limitation on length of common name in SSL certificates.Tom Lane2012-02-231-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both libpq and the backend would truncate a common name extracted from a certificate at 32 bytes. Replace that fixed-size buffer with dynamically allocated string so that there is no hard limit. While at it, remove the code for extracting peer_dn, which we weren't using for anything; and don't bother to store peer_cn longer than we need it in libpq. This limit was not so terribly unreasonable when the code was written, because we weren't using the result for anything critical, just logging it. But now that there are options for checking the common name against the server host name (in libpq) or using it as the user's name (in the server), this could result in undesirable failures. In the worst case it even seems possible to spoof a server name or user name, if the correct name is exactly 32 bytes and the attacker can persuade a trusted CA to issue a certificate in which that string is a prefix of the certificate's common name. (To exploit this for a server name, he'd also have to send the connection astray via phony DNS data or some such.) The case that this is a realistic security threat is a bit thin, but nonetheless we'll treat it as one. Back-patch to 8.4. Older releases contain the faulty code, but it's not a security problem because the common name wasn't used for anything interesting.

* Add parameters for controlling locations of server-side SSL filesPeter Eisentraut2012-02-221-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | This allows changing the location of the files that were previously hard-coded to server.crt, server.key, root.crt, root.crl. server.crt and server.key continue to be the default settings and are thus required to be present by default if SSL is enabled. But the settings for the server-side CA and CRL are now empty by default, and if they are set, the files are required to be present. This replaces the previous behavior of ignoring the functionality if the files were not found.

* Move Timestamp/Interval typedefs and basic macros into datatype/timestamp.h.Tom Lane2011-09-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | As per my recent proposal, this refactors things so that these typedefs and macros are available in a header that can be included in frontend-ish code. I also changed various headers that were undesirably including utils/timestamp.h to include datatype/timestamp.h instead. Unsurprisingly, this showed that half the system was getting utils/timestamp.h by way of xlog.h. No actual code changes here, just header refactoring.

* Modernise pg_hba.conf token processingAlvaro Herrera2011-06-281-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous coding was ugly, as it marked special tokens as such in the wrong stage, relying on workarounds to figure out if they had been quoted in the original or not. This made it impossible to have specific keywords be recognized as such only in certain positions in HBA lines, for example. Fix by restructuring the parser code so that it remembers whether tokens were quoted or not. This eliminates widespread knowledge of possible known keywords for all fields. Also improve memory management in this area, to use memory contexts that are reset as a whole instead of using retail pfrees; this removes a whole lotta crufty (and probably slow) code. Instead of calling strlen() three times in next_field_expand on the returned token to find out whether there was a comma (and strip it), pass back the info directly from the callee, which is simpler. In passing, update historical artifacts in hba.c API. Authors: Brendan Jurd, Alvaro Herrera Reviewed by Pavel Stehule

* Rename ident authentication over local connections to peerMagnus Hagander2011-03-191-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes an overloading of two authentication options where one is very secure (peer) and one is often insecure (ident). Peer is also the name used in libpq from 9.1 to specify the same type of authentication. Also make initdb select peer for local connections when ident is chosen, and ident for TCP connections when peer is chosen. ident keyword in pg_hba.conf is still accepted and maps to peer authentication.

Walreceiver is responsible for connecting to the primary server and streaming WAL to disk, while walsender runs in the primary server and streams WAL from disk to the client.

But let's do that as a separate patch, so that it's easier to see what has been added/changed. This patch also adds a new section to the chapter about FE/BE protocol, documenting the protocol used by walsender/walreceivxer.
