postgresql-16 (16.2-2) unstable; urgency=medium * Add Build-Profile pkg.postgresql.nollvm to disable JIT. -- Christoph Berg Mon, 18 Mar 2024 17:01:50 +0100 postgresql-16 (16.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream version. * Tighten security restrictions within REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY (Heikki Linnakangas) One step of a concurrent refresh command was run under weak security restrictions. If a materialized view's owner could persuade a superuser or other high-privileged user to perform a concurrent refresh on that view, the view's owner could control code executed with the privileges of the user running REFRESH. Fix things so that all user-determined code is run as the view's owner, as expected. The only known exploit for this error does not work in PostgreSQL 16.0 and later, so it may be that v16 is not vulnerable in practice. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Pedro Gallegos for reporting this problem. (CVE-2024-0985) * Add Swedish debconf translation by Martin Bagge and Anders Jonsson. Thanks! (Closes: #1059170) -- Christoph Berg Tue, 06 Feb 2024 13:27:57 +0100 postgresql-16 (16.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream version. * Fix handling of unknown-type arguments in DISTINCT "any" aggregate functions (Tom Lane) This error led to a text-type value being interpreted as an unknown-type value (that is, a zero-terminated string) at runtime. This could result in disclosure of server memory following the text value. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Jingzhou Fu for reporting this problem. (CVE-2023-5868) * Detect integer overflow while computing new array dimensions (Tom Lane) When assigning new elements to array subscripts that are outside the current array bounds, an undetected integer overflow could occur in edge cases. Memory stomps that are potentially exploitable for arbitrary code execution are possible, and so is disclosure of server memory. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Pedro Gallegos for reporting this problem. (CVE-2023-5869) * Prevent the pg_signal_backend role from signalling background workers and autovacuum processes (Noah Misch, Jelte Fennema-Nio) The documentation says that pg_signal_backend cannot issue signals to superuser-owned processes. It was able to signal these background processes, though, because they advertise a role OID of zero. Treat that as indicating superuser ownership. The security implications of cancelling one of these process types are fairly small so far as the core code goes (we'll just start another one), but extensions might add background workers that are more vulnerable. Also ensure that the is_superuser parameter is set correctly in such processes. No specific security consequences are known for that oversight, but it might be significant for some extensions. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Hemanth Sandrana and Mahendrakar Srinivasarao for reporting this problem. (CVE-2023-5870) * Fix misbehavior during recursive page split in GiST index build (Heikki Linnakangas) Fix a case where the location of a page downlink was incorrectly tracked, and introduce some logic to allow recovering from such situations rather than silently doing the wrong thing. This error could result in incorrect answers from subsequent index searches. It may be advisable to reindex all GiST indexes after installing this update. * Prevent de-duplication of btree index entries for interval columns There are interval values that are distinguishable but compare equal, for example 24:00:00 and 1 day. This breaks assumptions made by btree de-duplication, so interval columns need to be excluded from de-duplication. This oversight can cause incorrect results from index-only scans. Moreover, after updating amcheck will report an error for almost all such indexes. Users should reindex any btree indexes on interval columns. * Use default LLVM version; package is now compatible with LLVM 16. * Rebase debian/patches/libpgport-pkglibdir. -- Christoph Berg Tue, 07 Nov 2023 14:18:31 +0100 postgresql-16 (16.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium * Use LLVM 15 for JIT support, 16 is not supported yet.
