from <code class="filename">contrib/adminpack</code>'s
<code class="function">pg_logfile_rotate()</code> function (Stephen Frost)
</p><p> <code class="function">pg_logfile_rotate()</code> is a deprecated wrapper
for the core function <code class="function">pg_rotate_logfile()</code>.
When that function was changed to rely on SQL privileges for access
control rather than a hard-coded superuser
check, <code class="function">pg_logfile_rotate()</code> should have been
updated as well, but the need for this was missed. Hence,
if <code class="filename">adminpack</code> is installed, any user could
request a logfile rotation, creating a minor security issue.
</p><p> After installing this update, administrators should
update <code class="filename">adminpack</code> by performing
<code class="literal">ALTER EXTENSION adminpack UPDATE</code> in each
database in which <code class="filename">adminpack</code> is installed.
(CVE-2018-1115)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix incorrect volatility markings on a few built-in functions
(Thomas Munro, Tom Lane)
</p><p> The functions
<code class="function">query_to_xml</code>,
<code class="function">cursor_to_xml</code>,
<code class="function">cursor_to_xmlschema</code>,
<code class="function">query_to_xmlschema</code>, and
<code class="function">query_to_xml_and_xmlschema</code>
should be marked volatile because they execute user-supplied queries
that might contain volatile operations. They were not, leading to a
risk of incorrect query optimization. This has been repaired for new
installations by correcting the initial catalog data, but existing
installations will continue to contain the incorrect markings.
Practical use of these functions seems to pose little hazard, but in
case of trouble, it can be fixed by manually updating these
functions' <code class="structname">pg_proc</code> entries, for example
<code class="literal">ALTER FUNCTION pg_catalog.query_to_xml(text, boolean,
boolean, text) VOLATILE</code>. (Note that that will need to be
done in each database of the installation.) Another option is
to <span class="application">pg_upgrade</span> the database to a version
containing the corrected initial data.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix incorrect parallel-safety markings on a few built-in functions
(Thomas Munro, Tom Lane)
</p><p> The functions
<code class="function">brin_summarize_new_values</code>,
<code class="function">brin_summarize_range</code>,
<code class="function">brin_desummarize_range</code>,
<code class="function">gin_clean_pending_list</code>,
<code class="function">cursor_to_xml</code>,
<code class="function">cursor_to_xmlschema</code>,
<code class="function">ts_rewrite</code>,
<code class="function">ts_stat</code>,
<code class="function">binary_upgrade_create_empty_extension</code>, and
<code class="function">pg_import_system_collations</code>
should be marked parallel-unsafe; some because they perform database
modifications directly, and others because they execute user-supplied
queries that might do so. They were marked parallel-restricted
instead, leading to a risk of unexpected query errors. This has been
repaired for new installations by correcting the initial catalog
data, but existing installations will continue to contain the
incorrect markings. Practical use of these functions seems to pose
little hazard unless <code class="varname">force_parallel_mode</code> is turned
on. In case of trouble, it can be fixed by manually updating these
functions' <code class="structname">pg_proc</code> entries, for example
<code class="literal">ALTER FUNCTION pg_catalog.brin_summarize_new_values(regclass)
PARALLEL UNSAFE</code>. (Note that that will need to be done in
each database of the installation.) Another option is
to <span class="application">pg_upgrade</span> the database to a version
containing the corrected initial data.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Avoid re-using TOAST value OIDs that match dead-but-not-yet-vacuumed
TOAST entries (Pavan Deolasee)
</p><p> Once the OID counter has wrapped around, it's possible to assign a
TOAST value whose OID matches a previously deleted entry in the same
TOAST table. If that entry were not yet vacuumed away, this resulted
in <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">unexpected chunk number 0 (expected 1) for toast
value <em class="replaceable"><code>nnnnn</code></em></span>”</span> errors, which would
persist until the dead entry was removed
by <code class="command">VACUUM</code>. Fix by not selecting such OIDs when
creating a new TOAST entry.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Correctly enforce any <code class="literal">CHECK</code> constraints on
individual partitions during <code class="command">COPY</code> to a partitioned
table (Etsuro Fujita)
</p><p> Previously, only constraints declared for the partitioned table as a
whole were checked.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Accept <code class="literal">TRUE</code> and <code class="literal">FALSE</code> as
partition bound values (Amit Langote)
</p><p> Previously, only string-literal values were accepted for a boolean
partitioning column. But then <span class="application">pg_dump</span>
would print such values as <code class="literal">TRUE</code>
or <code class="literal">FALSE</code>, leading to dump/reload failures.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix memory management for partition key comparison functions
(Álvaro Herrera, Amit Langote)
</p><p> This error could lead to crashes when using user-defined operator
classes for partition keys.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix possible crash when a query inserts tuples in several partitions
of a partitioned table, and those partitions don't have identical row
types (Etsuro Fujita, Amit Langote)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Change <code class="command">ANALYZE</code>'s algorithm for updating
<code class="structname">pg_class</code>.<code class="structfield">reltuples</code>
(David Gould)
</p><p> Previously, pages not actually scanned by <code class="command">ANALYZE</code>
were assumed to retain their old tuple density. In a large table
where <code class="command">ANALYZE</code> samples only a small fraction of the
pages, this meant that the overall tuple density estimate could not
change very much, so that <code class="structfield">reltuples</code> would
change nearly proportionally to changes in the table's physical size
(<code class="structfield">relpages</code>) regardless of what was actually
happening in the table. This has been observed to result
in <code class="structfield">reltuples</code> becoming so much larger than
reality as to effectively shut off autovacuuming. To fix, assume
that <code class="command">ANALYZE</code>'s sample is a statistically unbiased
sample of the table (as it should be), and just extrapolate the
density observed within those pages to the whole table.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Include extended-statistics objects in the set of table properties
duplicated by <code class="command">CREATE TABLE ... LIKE ... INCLUDING
ALL</code> (David Rowley)
</p><p> Also add an <code class="literal">INCLUDING STATISTICS</code> option, to allow
finer-grained control over whether this happens.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix <code class="command">CREATE TABLE ... LIKE</code> with <code class="type">bigint</code>
identity columns (Peter Eisentraut)
</p><p> On platforms where <code class="type">long</code> is 32 bits (which includes
64-bit Windows as well as most 32-bit machines), copied sequence
parameters would be truncated to 32 bits.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Avoid deadlocks in concurrent <code class="command">CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY</code> commands that are run
under <code class="literal">SERIALIZABLE</code> or <code class="literal">REPEATABLE
READ</code> transaction isolation (Tom Lane)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix possible slow execution of <code class="command">REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW
CONCURRENTLY</code> (Thomas Munro)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix <code class="literal">UPDATE/DELETE ... WHERE CURRENT OF</code> to not fail
when the referenced cursor uses an index-only-scan plan (Yugo Nagata,
Tom Lane)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix incorrect planning of join clauses pushed into parameterized
paths (Andrew Gierth, Tom Lane)
</p><p> This error could result in misclassifying a condition as
a <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">join filter</span>”</span> for an outer join when it should be a
plain <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">filter</span>”</span> condition, leading to incorrect join
output.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix possibly incorrect generation of an index-only-scan plan when the
same table column appears in multiple index columns, and only some of
those index columns use operator classes that can return the column
value (Kyotaro Horiguchi)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix misoptimization of <code class="literal">CHECK</code> constraints having
provably-NULL subclauses of
top-level <code class="literal">AND</code>/<code class="literal">OR</code> conditions
(Tom Lane, Dean Rasheed)
</p><p> This could, for example, allow constraint exclusion to exclude a
child table that should not be excluded from a query.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Prevent planner crash when a query has multiple <code class="literal">GROUPING
SETS</code>, none of which can be implemented by sorting (Andrew
Gierth)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix executor crash due to double free in some <code class="literal">GROUPING
SETS</code> usages (Peter Geoghegan)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix misexecution of self-joins on transition tables (Thomas Munro)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Avoid crash if a table rewrite event trigger is added concurrently
with a command that could call such a trigger (Álvaro Herrera,
Andrew Gierth, Tom Lane)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Avoid failure if a query-cancel or session-termination interrupt
occurs while committing a prepared transaction (Stas Kelvich)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix query-lifespan memory leakage in repeatedly executed hash joins
(Tom Lane)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix possible leak or double free of visibility map buffer pins
(Amit Kapila)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Avoid spuriously marking pages as all-visible (Dan Wood,
Pavan Deolasee, Álvaro Herrera)
</p><p> This could happen if some tuples were locked (but not deleted). While
queries would still function correctly, vacuum would normally ignore
such pages, with the long-term effect that the tuples were never
frozen. In recent releases this would eventually result in errors
such as <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">found multixact <em class="replaceable"><code>nnnnn</code></em> from
before relminmxid <em class="replaceable"><code>nnnnn</code></em></span>”</span>.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix overly strict sanity check
in <code class="function">heap_prepare_freeze_tuple</code>
(Álvaro Herrera)
</p><p> This could result in incorrect <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">cannot freeze committed
xmax</span>”</span> failures in databases that have
been <span class="application">pg_upgrade</span>'d from 9.2 or earlier.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Prevent dangling-pointer dereference when a C-coded before-update row
trigger returns the <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">old</span>”</span> tuple (Rushabh Lathia)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Reduce locking during autovacuum worker scheduling (Jeff Janes)
</p><p> The previous behavior caused drastic loss of potential worker
concurrency in databases with many tables.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Ensure client hostname is copied while copying
<code class="structname">pg_stat_activity</code> data to local memory
(Edmund Horner)
</p><p> Previously the supposedly-local snapshot contained a pointer into
shared memory, allowing the client hostname column to change
unexpectedly if any existing session disconnected.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Handle <code class="structname">pg_stat_activity</code> information for
auxiliary processes correctly (Edmund Horner)
</p><p> The <code class="structfield">application_name</code>,
<code class="structfield">client_hostname</code>,
and <code class="structfield">query</code> fields might show incorrect
data for such processes.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix incorrect processing of multiple compound affixes
in <code class="literal">ispell</code> dictionaries (Arthur Zakirov)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix collation-aware searches (that is, indexscans using inequality
operators) in SP-GiST indexes on text columns (Tom Lane)
</p><p> Such searches would return the wrong set of rows in most non-C
locales.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Prevent query-lifespan memory leakage with SP-GiST operator classes
that use traversal values (Anton Dignös)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Count the number of index tuples correctly during initial build of an
SP-GiST index (Tomas Vondra)
</p><p> Previously, the tuple count was reported to be the same as that of
the underlying table, which is wrong if the index is partial.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Count the number of index tuples correctly during vacuuming of a
GiST index (Andrey Borodin)
</p><p> Previously it reported the estimated number of heap tuples,
which might be inaccurate, and is certainly wrong if the
index is partial.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix a corner case where a streaming standby gets stuck at a WAL
continuation record (Kyotaro Horiguchi)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> In logical decoding, avoid possible double processing of WAL data
when a walsender restarts (Craig Ringer)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix logical replication to not assume that type OIDs match between
the local and remote servers (Masahiko Sawada)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Allow <code class="function">scalarltsel</code>
and <code class="function">scalargtsel</code> to be used on non-core datatypes
(Tomas Vondra)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Reduce <span class="application">libpq</span>'s memory consumption when a
server error is reported after a large amount of query output has
been collected (Tom Lane)
</p><p> Discard the previous output before, not after, processing the error
message. On some platforms, notably Linux, this can make a
difference in the application's subsequent memory footprint.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix double-free crashes in <span class="application">ecpg</span>
(Patrick Krecker, Jeevan Ladhe)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix <span class="application">ecpg</span> to handle <code class="type">long long
int</code> variables correctly in MSVC builds (Michael Meskes,
Andrew Gierth)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix mis-quoting of values for list-valued GUC variables in dumps
(Michael Paquier, Tom Lane)
</p><p> The <code class="varname">local_preload_libraries</code>,
<code class="varname">session_preload_libraries</code>,
<code class="varname">shared_preload_libraries</code>,
and <code class="varname">temp_tablespaces</code> variables were not correctly
quoted in <span class="application">pg_dump</span> output. This would
cause problems if settings for these variables appeared in
<code class="command">CREATE FUNCTION ... SET</code> or <code class="command">ALTER
DATABASE/ROLE ... SET</code> clauses.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix <span class="application">pg_recvlogical</span> to not fail against
pre-v10 <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> servers
(Michael Paquier)
</p><p> A previous fix caused <span class="application">pg_recvlogical</span> to
issue a command regardless of server version, but it should only be
issued to v10 and later servers.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Ensure that <span class="application">pg_rewind</span> deletes files on the
target server if they are deleted from the source server during the
run (Takayuki Tsunakawa)
</p><p> Failure to do this could result in data inconsistency on the target,
particularly if the file in question is a WAL segment.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix <span class="application">pg_rewind</span> to handle tables in
non-default tablespaces correctly (Takayuki Tsunakawa)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Fix overflow handling in <span class="application">PL/pgSQL</span>
integer <code class="command">FOR</code> loops (Tom Lane)
</p><p> The previous coding failed to detect overflow of the loop variable
on some non-gcc compilers, leading to an infinite loop.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Adjust <span class="application">PL/Python</span> regression tests to pass
under Python 3.7 (Peter Eisentraut)

Solaris 11.4 built-in functions (Rainer Orth)
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Sync our copy of the timezone library with IANA tzcode release 2018e
(Tom Lane)
</p><p> This fixes the <span class="application">zic</span> timezone data compiler
to cope with negative daylight-savings offsets. While
the <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> project will not
immediately ship such timezone data, <span class="application">zic</span>
might be used with timezone data obtained directly from IANA, so it
