Branch: CURRENT, Version: 15.9, Package name: postgresql15-docs-15.9, Maintainer: adam

PostgreSQL is a robust, next-generation, Object-Relational DBMS (ORDBMS),
derived from the Berkeley Postgres database management system. While
PostgreSQL retains the powerful object-relational data model, rich data types
and easy extensibility of Postgres, it replaces the PostQuel query language
with an extended subset of SQL.

PostgreSQL is free and the complete source is available.

This package contains the database documentation.

Security Issues

CVE-2024-0985: PostgreSQL non-owner REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY \ 
executes arbitrary SQL

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update fixes over 65 bugs that were reported in the last several months. \ 
The issues listed below affect PostgreSQL 16. Some of these issues may also \ 
affect other supported versions of PostgreSQL.

Fix memory leak when performing JIT inlining that could lead to out-of-memory \ 
conditions.
Several query planner fixes.
Align MERGE behavior with UPDATE when updating a partition key column and skip \ 
firing AFTER UPDATE ROW trigger and other post-update actions.
Fix problems with duplicate token names in ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION ... \ 
MAPPING commands.
Fix DROP ROLE with duplicate role names.
Properly lock the associated table during DROP STATISTICS to prevent errors if \ 
ANALYZE is running concurrently.
Fix function volatility checking for GENERATED and DEFAULT expressions.
Ensure collation matches when matching an existing index to a new partitioned index.
Avoid failure if a child index is dropped concurrently with REINDEX INDEX on a \ 
partitioned index.
Fix for locking during cleanup of GIN indexes. For this case, if multiple \ 
processes tried to clean the same GIN index page, there was a chance of index \ 
corruption. If you believe you were affected by this issue, reindex your GIN \ 
indexes after installing this update.
Avoid failure with partitioned SP-GiST indexes.
Several ownership fixes for large objects.
In EXPLAIN (BUFFERS), change name of I/O timing data "shared/local" to \ 
"shared".
Ensure durability of the CREATE DATABASE command if a system crash occurred \ 
during or shortly after execution.
Add more logging messages when starting and ending recovery from a backup.
Revert a change that made the walreceiver process unresponsive to SIGTERM while \ 
waiting for a replication connection to be established.
Several fixes for logical replication.
Fix incompatibility with OpenSSL 3.2.
Fix PL/pgSQL to allow CREATE FUNCTION/CREATE PROCEDURE SQL commands that use \ 
SQL-standard function bodies.
Fix for error handling in libpq pipeline mode.
Ensure initdb always uncomments postgresql.conf entries for the lc_ family of \ 
parameters.
In pg_dump, don't dump RLS policies or security labels for extension member objects.

Log message:
postgresql: updated to 16.1, 15.5, 14.10, 13.13, 12.17, and 11.22

Security Issues

CVE-2023-5868: Memory disclosure in aggregate function calls
CVE-2023-5869: Buffer overrun from integer overflow in array modification
CVE-2023-5870: Role pg_signal_backend can signal certain superuser processes

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update fixes over 55 bugs that were reported in the last several months. \ 
The issues listed below affect PostgreSQL 16. Some of these issues may also \ 
affect other supported versions of PostgreSQL.

Fix issue where GiST indexes had an incorrect behavior during a "page \ 
split" operation that could lead to incorrect results in subsequent index \ 
searches. Please reindex GiST indexes after installing this update.
Fix issue where B-tree indexes would incorrectly de-duplicate interval columns. \ 
Please reindex any B-tree index that includes an interval column after \ 
installing this update.
Provide more efficient indexing of date, timestamptz, and timestamp values in \ 
BRIN indexes when using a minmax_multi opsclass. While not required, we \ 
recommend reindexing BRIN indexes that include these data types after installing \ 
this update.
Fix for bulk table insertion into partitioned tables.
Fix for hash-partitioned tables with multiple partition keys during step \ 
generation and runtime pruning that could lead to crashes in some cases.
Throw the correct error if pgrowlocks() is applied to a partitioned table

Fix inconsistent rechecking of concurrently-updated rows during MERGE when using \ 
READ COMMITTED mode.

Correctly identify the target table in an inherited UPDATE/DELETE/MERGE even \ 
when the parent table is excluded by constraints.
Fix over-allocation of a constructed tsvector.
Fix ALTER SUBSCRIPTION to apply changes in the run_as_owner option.
Several fixes for COPY FROM,
Several fixes for handling torn reads with pg_control.
Fix "could not find pathkey item to sort" errors occurring while \ 
planning aggregate functions with ORDER BY or DISTINCT options.
When track_io_timing is enabled, include the time taken by relation extension \ 
operations as write time.
Track the dependencies of cached CALL statements, and re-plan them when needed.
Treat out-of-memory failures as FATAL while reading WAL.
Fix pg_dump to dump the new run_as_owner option of subscriptions.
Fix pg_restore so that selective restores will include both table-level and \ 
column-level ACLs for selected tables.
Add logic to pg_upgrade to check for use of obsolete data types abstime, \ 
reltime, and tinterval.
Fix vacuumdb to have multiple -N switches actually exclude tables in multiple \ 
schemas.
amcheck will no longer report interrupted page deletion as corruption.
Fix btree_gin indexes on interval columns to properly return data when using the \ 
< and <= operators.

Log message:
Mass-change BUILD_DEPENDS to TOOL_DEPENDS outside mk/.

Almost all uses, if not all of them, are wrong, according to the
semantics of BUILD_DEPENDS (packages built for target available for
use _by_ tools at build-time) and TOOL_DEPEPNDS (packages built for
host available for use _as_ tools at build-time).

No change to BUILD_DEPENDS as used correctly inside buildlink3.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update fixes over 80 bugs that were reported in the last several months. \ 
The issues listed below affect PostgreSQL 15. Some of these issues may also \ 
affect other supported versions of PostgreSQL.

Included in this release:

Several fixes for CREATE DATABASE when using the STRATEGY = WAL_LOG, including a \

database.
Fix crash with CREATE SCHEMA AUTHORIZATION.
Several fixes for MERGE.
Several fixes for triggers in partitioned tables.
Disallow altering composite types that are stored in indexes.
Ensure that COPY TO from a parent table with row-level security enabled does not \ 
copy any rows from child tables.
Adjust text-search-related character classification logic to correctly detect \ 
whether the prevailing locale is C when the default collation of a database uses \ 
the ICU provider.
Re-allow exponential notation in ISO-8601 interval fields.
Improve error reporting for various invalid JSON string literals.
Fix data corruption due to vacuum_defer_cleanup_age being larger than the \ 
current 64-bit xid.
Several fixes for the query parser and planner, including better detection of \ 
improperly-nested aggregates.
Fix partition pruning bug with the boolean IS NOT TRUE and IS NOT FALSE \ 
conditions. Prior to this, NULL partitions were accidentally pruned.
Fix memory leak in memoize plan execution.
Fix buffer refcount leak on foreign tables using partitions when performing \ 
batched inserts.
Restore support for sub-millisecond vacuum_cost_delay settings.

Support RSA-PSS certificates with SCRAM-SHA-256 channel binding. This feature \ 
requires building with OpenSSL 1.1.1 or newer.
Avoid race condition with process ID tracking on Windows.
Fix memory leak within a session for PL/pgSQL DO blocks that use cast expressions.
Tighten array dimensionality checks from PL/Perl and PL/Python when converting \ 
list structures to multi-dimensional SQL arrays.
Fix pg_dump so that partitioned tables that are hash-partitioned on an \ 
enumerated type column can be restored successfully.
Fix for pg_trgm where an unsatisfiable regular expression could lead to a crash \ 
when using a GiST or GIN index.
Limit memory usage of pg_get_wal_records_info() in pg_walinspect.

Log message:
postgresql: updated to 15.2, 14.7, 13.10, 12.14, and 11.19

Security Issues

CVE-2022-41862: Client memory disclosure when connecting, with Kerberos, to \ 
modified server.

Versions Affected: 12 - 15.

A modified, unauthenticated server or an unauthenticated man-in-the-middle can \ 
send an unterminated string during the establishment of Kerberos transport \ 
encryption. When a libpq client application has a Kerberos credential cache and \ 
doesn't explicitly disable option gssencmode, a server can cause libpq to \ 
over-read and report an error message containing uninitialized bytes from and \ 
following its receive buffer. If libpq's caller somehow makes that message \ 
accessible to the attacker, this achieves a disclosure of the over-read bytes. \ 
We have not confirmed or ruled out viability of attacks that arrange for a crash \ 
or for presence of notable, confidential information in disclosed bytes.

The PostgreSQL project thanks Jacob Champion for reporting this problem.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update fixes over 60 bugs that were reported in the last several months. \ 
The issues listed below affect PostgreSQL 15. Some of these issues may also \ 
affect other supported versions of PostgreSQL.

generated column has different dependencies than the parent.
Several fixes for the MERGE command.
Allow a WITH RECURSIVE ... CYCLE query to access its SET output column.
