./databases/postgresql96, Robust, next generation, object-relational DBMS

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 9.6.24nb2, Package name: postgresql96-9.6.24nb2, 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 is the meta-package for the PostgreSQL database system.

Security Issues

CVE-2021-23214: Server processes unencrypted bytes from man-in-the-middle

Versions Affected: 9.6 - 14. The security team typically does not test \ 
unsupported versions, but this problem is quite old.

When the server is configured to use trust authentication with a clientcert \ 
requirement or to use cert authentication, a man-in-the-middle attacker can \ 
inject arbitrary SQL queries when a connection is first established, despite the \ 
use of SSL certificate verification and encryption.

The PostgreSQL project thanks Jacob Champion for reporting this problem.

CVE-2021-23222: libpq processes unencrypted bytes from man-in-the-middle

Versions Affected: 9.6 - 14. The security team typically does not test \ 
unsupported versions, but this problem is quite old.

A man-in-the-middle attacker can inject false responses to the client's first \ 
few queries, despite the use of SSL certificate verification and encryption.

If more preconditions hold, the attacker can exfiltrate the client's password or \ 
other confidential data that might be transmitted early in a session. The \ 
attacker must have a way to trick the client's intended server into making the \ 
confidential data accessible to the attacker. A known implementation having that \ 
property is a PostgreSQL configuration vulnerable to CVE-2021-23214.

As with any exploitation of CVE-2021-23214, the server must be using trust \ 
authentication with a clientcert requirement or using cert authentication. To \ 
disclose a password, the client must be in possession of a password, which is \ 
atypical when using an authentication configuration vulnerable to \ 
CVE-2021-23214. The attacker must have some other way to access the server to \ 
retrieve the exfiltrated data (a valid, unprivileged login account would be \ 
sufficient).

The PostgreSQL project thanks Jacob Champion for reporting this problem.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This update fixes over 40 bugs that were reported in the last several months. \ 
The issues listed below affect PostgreSQL 14. Some of these issues may also \ 
affect other supported versions of PostgreSQL.

Some of these fixes include:

Fix physical replication for cases where the primary crashes after shipping a \ 
WAL segment that ends with a partial WAL record. When applying this update, \ 
update your standby servers before the primary so that they will be ready to \ 
handle the fix if the primary happens to crash.
Fix parallel VACUUM so that it will process indexes below the \ 
min_parallel_index_scan_size threshold if the table has at least two indexes \ 
that are above that size. This problem does not affect autovacuum. If you are \ 
affected by this issue, you should reindex any manually-vacuumed tables.
Fix causes of CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY and REINDEX CONCURRENTLY writing corrupt \ 
indexes. You should reindex any concurrently-built indexes.
Fix for attaching/detaching a partition that could allow certain INSERT/UPDATE \ 
queries to misbehave in active sessions.
Fix for creating a new range type with CREATE TYPE that could cause problems for \ 
later event triggers or subsequent executions of the CREATE TYPE command.
Fix updates of element fields in arrays of a domain that is a part of a composite.
Disallow the combination of FETCH FIRST WITH TIES and FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED.
Fix corner-case loss of precision in the numeric power() function.
Fix restoration of a Portal's snapshot inside a subtransaction, which could lead \ 
to a crash. For example, this could occur in PL/pgSQL when a COMMIT is \ 
immediately followed by a BEGIN ... EXCEPTION block that performs a query.
Clean up correctly if a transaction fails after exporting its snapshot. This \ 
could occur if a replication slot was created then rolled back, and then another \ 
replication slot was created in the same session.
Fix for "overflowed-subtransaction" wraparound tracking on standby \ 
servers that could lead to performance degradation.
Ensure that prepared transactions are properly accounted for during promotion of \ 
a standby server.
Ensure that the correct lock level is used when renaming a table.
Avoid crash when dropping a role that owns objects being dropped concurrently.
Disallow setting huge_pages to on when shared_memory_type is sysv
Fix query type checking in the PL/pgSQL RETURN QUERY.
Several fixes for pg_dump, including the ability to dump non-global default \ 
privileges correctly.
Use the CLDR project's data to map Windows time zone names to IANA time zones.
This update also contains tzdata release 2021e for DST law changes in Fiji, \ 
Jordan, Palestine, and Samoa, plus historical corrections for Barbados, Cook \ 
Islands, Guyana, Niue, Portugal, and Tonga.

Also, the Pacific/Enderbury zone has been renamed to Pacific/Kanton. Also, the \ 
following zones have been merged into nearby, more-populous zones whose clocks \ 
have agreed with them since 1970: Africa/Accra, America/Atikokan, \ 
America/Blanc-Sablon, America/Creston, America/Curacao, America/Nassau, \ 
America/Port_of_Spain, Antarctica/DumontDUrville, and Antarctica/Syowa. In all \ 
these cases, the previous zone name remains as an alias.
