2022-03-28Remove the ability of a role to administer itself.Robert Haas
Commit f9fd1764615ed5d85fab703b0ffb0c323fe7dfd5 effectively gave every role ADMIN OPTION on itself. However, this appears to be something that happened accidentally as a result of refactoring work rather than an intentional decision. Almost a decade later, it was discovered that this was a security vulnerability. As a result, commit fea164a72a7bfd50d77ba5fb418d357f8f2bb7d0 restricted this implicit ADMIN OPTION privilege to be exercisable only when the role being administered is the same as the session user and when no security-restricted operation is in progress. That commit also documented the existence of this implicit privilege for what seems to be the first time. The effect of the privilege is to allow a login role to grant the privileges of that role, and optionally ADMIN OPTION on it, to some other role. That's an unusual thing to do, because generally membership is granted in roles used as groups, rather than roles used as users. Therefore, it does not seem likely that removing the privilege will break things for many PostgreSQL users. However, it will make it easier to reason about the permissions system. This is the only case where a user who has not been given any special permission (superuser, or ADMIN OPTION on some role) can modify role membership, so removing it makes things more consistent. For example, if a superuser sets up role A and B and grants A to B but no other privileges to anyone, she can now be sure that no one else will be able to revoke that grant. Without this change, that would have been true only if A was a non-login role. Patch by me. Reviewed by Tom Lane and Stephen Frost.

Get rid of the three-valued logic for the Boolean variables to track whether the value was been specified and what the new value should be. Instead, we can use the "dfoo" variables to determine whether the value was specified and should be applied.

2022-01-11Improve error handling of cryptohash computationsMichael Paquier
The existing cryptohash facility was causing problems in some code paths related to MD5 (frontend and backend) that relied on the fact that the only type of error that could happen would be an OOM, as the MD5 implementation used in PostgreSQL ~13 (the in-core implementation is used when compiling with or without OpenSSL in those older versions), could fail only under this circumstance. The new cryptohash facilities can fail for reasons other than OOMs, like attempting MD5 when FIPS is enabled (upstream OpenSSL allows that up to 1.0.2, Fedora and Photon patch OpenSSL 1.1.1 to allow that), so this would cause incorrect reports to show up. This commit extends the cryptohash APIs so as callers of those routines can fetch more context when an error happens, by using a new routine called pg_cryptohash_error(). The error states are stored within each implementation's internal context data, so as it is possible to extend the logic depending on what's suited for an implementation. The default implementation requires few error states, but OpenSSL could report various issues depending on its internal state so more is needed in cryptohash_openssl.c, and the code is shaped so as we are always able to grab the necessary information. The core code is changed to adapt to the new error routine, painting more "const" across the call stack where the static errors are stored, particularly in authentication code paths on variables that provide log details. This way, any future changes would warn if attempting to free these strings. The MD5 authentication code was also a bit blurry about the handling of "logdetail" (LOG sent to the postmaster), so improve the comments related that, while on it. The origin of the problem is 87ae969, that introduced the centralized cryptohash facility. Extra changes are done for pgcrypto in v14 for the non-OpenSSL code path to cope with the improvements done by this commit.

2021-07-15Improve reporting of "conflicting or redundant options" errors.Dean Rasheed
When reporting "conflicting or redundant options" errors, try to ensure that errposition() is used, to help the user identify the offending option. Formerly, errposition() was invoked in less than 60% of cases. This patch raises that to over 90%, but there remain a few places where the ParseState is not readily available. Using errdetail() might improve the error in such cases, but that is left as a task for the future. Additionally, since this error is thrown from over 100 places in the codebase, introduce a dedicated function to throw it, reducing code duplication.

2020-04-25Fix error case for CREATE ROLE ... IN ROLE.Andrew Gierth
CreateRole() was passing a Value node, not a RoleSpec node, for the newly-created role name when adding the role as a member of existing roles for the IN ROLE syntax. This mistake went unnoticed because the node in question is used only for error messages and is not accessed on non-error paths. In older pg versions (such as 9.5 where this was found), this results in an "unexpected node type" error in place of the real error. That node type check was removed at some point, after which the code would accidentally fail to fail on 64-bit platforms (on which accessing the Value node as if it were a RoleSpec would be mostly harmless) or give an "unexpected role type" error on 32-bit platforms. Fix the code to pass the correct node type, and add an lfirst_node assertion just in case. Per report on irc from user m1chelangelo. Backpatch all the way, because this error has been around for a long time.

2019-06-29Add an enforcement mechanism for global object names in regression tests.Tom Lane
In commit 18555b132 we tentatively established a rule that regression tests should use names containing "regression" for databases, and names starting with "regress_" for all other globally-visible object names, so as to circumscribe the side-effects that "make installcheck" could have on an existing installation. This commit adds a simple enforcement mechanism for that rule: if the code is compiled with ENFORCE_REGRESSION_TEST_NAME_RESTRICTIONS defined, it will emit a warning (not an error) whenever a database, role, tablespace, subscription, or replication origin name is created that doesn't obey the rule. Running one or more buildfarm members with that symbol defined should be enough to catch new violations, at least in the regular regression tests. Most TAP tests wouldn't notice such warnings, but that's actually fine because TAP tests don't execute against an existing server anyway. Since it's already the case that running src/test/modules/ tests in installcheck mode is deprecated, we can use that as a home for tests that seem unsafe to run against an existing server, such as tests that might have side-effects on existing roles. Document that (though this commit doesn't in itself make it any less safe than before). Update regress.sgml to define these restrictions more clearly, and to clean up assorted lack-of-up-to-date-ness in its descriptions of the available regression tests.

2018-11-21Remove WITH OIDS support, change oid catalog column visibility.Andres Freund
Previously tables declared WITH OIDS, including a significant fraction of the catalog tables, stored the oid column not as a normal column, but as part of the tuple header. This special column was not shown by default, which was somewhat odd, as it's often (consider e.g. pg_class.oid) one of the more important parts of a row. Neither pg_dump nor COPY included the contents of the oid column by default. The fact that the oid column was not an ordinary column necessitated a significant amount of special case code to support oid columns. That already was painful for the existing, but upcoming work aiming to make table storage pluggable, would have required expanding and duplicating that "specialness" significantly. WITH OIDS has been deprecated since 2005 (commit ff02d0a05280e0). Remove it. Removing includes: - CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE syntax for declaring the table to be WITH OIDS has been removed (WITH (oids[ = true]) will error out) - pg_dump does not support dumping tables declared WITH OIDS and will issue a warning when dumping one (and ignore the oid column). - restoring an pg_dump archive with pg_restore will warn when restoring a table with oid contents (and ignore the oid column) - COPY will refuse to load binary dump that includes oids. - pg_upgrade will error out when encountering tables declared WITH OIDS, they have to be altered to remove the oid column first. - Functionality to access the oid of the last inserted row (like plpgsql's RESULT_OID, spi's SPI_lastoid, ...) has been removed. The syntax for declaring a table WITHOUT OIDS (or WITH (oids = false) for CREATE TABLE) is still supported. While that requires a bit of support code, it seems unnecessary to break applications / dumps that do not use oids, and are explicit about not using them. The biggest user of WITH OID columns was postgres' catalog. This commit changes all 'magic' oid columns to be columns that are normally declared and stored. To reduce unnecessary query breakage all the newly added columns are still named 'oid', even if a table's column naming scheme would indicate 'reloid' or such. This obviously requires adapting a lot code, mostly replacing oid access via HeapTupleGetOid() with access to the underlying Form_pg_*->oid column. The bootstrap process now assigns oids for all oid columns in genbki.pl that do not have an explicit value (starting at the largest oid previously used), only oids assigned later by oids will be above FirstBootstrapObjectId. As the oid column now is a normal column the special bootstrap syntax for oids has been removed. Oids are not automatically assigned during insertion anymore, all backend code explicitly assigns oids with GetNewOidWithIndex(). For the rare case that insertions into the catalog via SQL are called for the new pg_nextoid() function can be used (which only works on catalog tables). The fact that oid columns on system tables are now normal columns means that they will be included in the set of columns expanded by * (i.e. SELECT * FROM pg_class will now include the table's oid, previously it did not). It'd not technically be hard to hide oid column by default, but that'd mean confusing behavior would either have to be carried forward forever, or it'd cause breakage down the line. While it's not unlikely that further adjustments are needed, the scope/invasiveness of the patch makes it worthwhile to get merge this now. It's painful to maintain externally, too complicated to commit after the code code freeze, and a dependency of a number of other patches. Catversion bump, for obvious reasons.

2017-08-07Don't allow logging in with empty password.Heikki Linnakangas
Some authentication methods allowed it, others did not. In the client-side, libpq does not even try to authenticate with an empty password, which makes using empty passwords hazardous: an administrator might think that an account with an empty password cannot be used to log in, because psql doesn't allow it, and not realize that a different client would in fact allow it. To clear that confusion and to be be consistent, disallow empty passwords in all authentication methods. All the authentication methods that used plaintext authentication over the wire, except for BSD authentication, already checked that the password received from the user was not empty. To avoid forgetting it in the future again, move the check to the recv_password_packet function. That only forbids using an empty password with plaintext authentication, however. MD5 and SCRAM need a different fix: * In stable branches, check that the MD5 hash stored for the user does not not correspond to an empty string. This adds some overhead to MD5 authentication, because the server needs to compute an extra MD5 hash, but it is not noticeable in practice. * In HEAD, modify CREATE and ALTER ROLE to clear the password if an empty string, or a password hash that corresponds to an empty string, is specified. The user-visible behavior is the same as in the stable branches, the user cannot log in, but it seems better to stop the empty password from entering the system in the first place. Secondly, it is fairly expensive to check that a SCRAM hash doesn't correspond to an empty string, because computing a SCRAM hash is much more expensive than an MD5 hash by design, so better avoid doing that on every authentication. We could clear the password on CREATE/ALTER ROLE also in stable branches, but we would still need to check at authentication time, because even if we prevent empty passwords from being stored in pg_authid, there might be existing ones there already.

2017-06-21Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane
Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

2017-06-21Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane
Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

2017-05-08Remove support for password_encryption='off' / 'plain'.Heikki Linnakangas
Storing passwords in plaintext hasn't been a good idea for a very long time, if ever. Now seems like a good time to finally forbid it, since we're messing with this in PostgreSQL 10 anyway. Remove the CREATE/ALTER USER UNENCRYPTED PASSSWORD 'foo' syntax, since storing passwords unencrypted is no longer supported. ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'foo' is still accepted, but ENCRYPTED is now just a noise-word, it does the same as just PASSWORD 'foo'. Likewise, remove the --unencrypted option from createuser, but accept --encrypted as a no-op for backward compatibility. AFAICS, --encrypted was a no-op even before this patch, because createuser encrypted the password before sending it to the server even if --encrypted was not specified. It added the ENCRYPTED keyword to the SQL command, but since the password was already in encrypted form, it didn't make any difference. The documentation was not clear on whether that was intended or not, but it's moot now. Also, while password_encryption='on' is still accepted as an alias for 'md5', it is now marked as hidden, so that it is not listed as an accepted value in error hints, for example. That's not directly related to removing 'plain', but it seems better this way.

2017-04-18Rename "scram" to "scram-sha-256" in pg_hba.conf and password_encryption.Heikki Linnakangas
Per discussion, plain "scram" is confusing because we actually implement SCRAM-SHA-256 rather than the original SCRAM that uses SHA-1 as the hash algorithm. If we add support for SCRAM-SHA-512 or some other mechanism in the SCRAM family in the future, that would become even more confusing. Most of the internal files and functions still use just "scram" as a shorthand for SCRMA-SHA-256, but I did change PASSWORD_TYPE_SCRAM to PASSWORD_TYPE_SCRAM_SHA_256, as that could potentially be used by 3rd party extensions that hook into the password-check hook.

For example, "lfirst_node(Foo, lc)" is the same as "castNode(Foo, lfirst(lc))".

2017-03-07Support SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication (RFC 5802 and 7677).Heikki Linnakangas
This introduces a new generic SASL authentication method, similar to the GSS and SSPI methods. The server first tells the client which SASL authentication mechanism to use, and then the mechanism-specific SASL messages are exchanged in AuthenticationSASLcontinue and PasswordMessage messages. Only SCRAM-SHA-256 is supported at the moment, but this allows adding more SASL mechanisms in the future, without changing the overall protocol. Support for channel binding, aka SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS is left for later. The SASLPrep algorithm, for pre-processing the password, is not yet implemented. That could cause trouble, if you use a password with non-ASCII characters, and a client library that does implement SASLprep. That will hopefully be added later. Authorization identities, as specified in the SCRAM-SHA-256 specification, are ignored. SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION provides more or less the same functionality, anyway. If a user doesn't exist, perform a "mock" authentication, by constructing an authentic-looking challenge on the fly. The challenge is derived from a new system-wide random value, "mock authentication nonce", which is created at initdb, and stored in the control file.

2017-02-01Provide CatalogTupleDelete() as a wrapper around simple_heap_delete().Tom Lane
This extends the work done in commit 2f5c9d9c9 to provide a more nearly complete abstraction layer hiding the details of index updating for catalog changes. That commit only invented abstractions for catalog inserts and updates, leaving nearby code for catalog deletes still calling the heap-level routines directly. That seems rather ugly from here, and it does little to help if we ever want to shift to a storage system in which indexing work is needed at delete time. Hence, create a wrapper function CatalogTupleDelete(), and replace calls of simple_heap_delete() on catalog tuples with it. There are now very few direct calls of [simple_]heap_delete remaining in the tree. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/[email protected]
2017-02-01Replace isMD5() with a more future-proof way to check if pw is encrypted.Heikki Linnakangas
The rule is that if pg_authid.rolpassword begins with "md5" and has the right length, it's an MD5 hash, otherwise it's a plaintext password. The idiom has been to use isMD5() to check for that, but that gets awkward, when we add new kinds of verifiers, like the verifiers for SCRAM authentication in the pending SCRAM patch set. Replace isMD5() with a new get_password_type() function, so that when new verifier types are added, we don't need to remember to modify every place that currently calls isMD5(), to also recognize the new kinds of verifiers. Also, use the new plain_crypt_verify function in passwordcheck, so that it doesn't need to know about MD5, or in the future, about other kinds of hashes or password verifiers.

2017-01-31Tweak catalog indexing abstraction for upcoming WARMAlvaro Herrera
Split the existing CatalogUpdateIndexes into two different routines, CatalogTupleInsert and CatalogTupleUpdate, which do both the heap insert/update plus the index update. This removes over 300 lines of boilerplate code all over src/backend/catalog/ and src/backend/commands. The resulting code is much more pleasing to the eye. Also, by encapsulating what happens in detail during an UPDATE, this facilitates the upcoming WARM patch, which is going to add a few more lines to the update case making the boilerplate even more boring. The original CatalogUpdateIndexes is removed; there was only one use left, and since it's just three lines, we can as well expand it in place there. We could keep it, but WARM is going to break all the UPDATE out-of-core callsites anyway, so there seems to be no benefit in doing so.

Most code was casting this through a generic Node. By declaring everything as RoleSpec appropriately, we can remove a bunch of casts and ad-hoc node type checking. Reviewed-by: Alvaro Herrera <[email protected]>
2016-09-28Turn password_encryption GUC into an enum.Heikki Linnakangas
This makes the parameter easier to extend, to support other password-based authentication protocols than MD5. (SCRAM is being worked on.) The GUC still accepts on/off as aliases for "md5" and "plain", although we may want to remove those once we actually add support for another password hash type.

2016-09-06Add location field to DefElemPeter Eisentraut
Add a location field to the DefElem struct, used to parse many utility commands. Update various error messages to supply error position information. To propogate the error position information in a more systematic way, create a ParseState in standard_ProcessUtility() and pass that to interested functions implementing the utility commands. This seems better than passing the query string and then reassembling a parse state ad hoc, which violates the encapsulation of the ParseState type. Reviewed-by: Pavel Stehule <[email protected]>
2016-09-02Move code shared between libpq and backend from backend/libpq/ to common/.Heikki Linnakangas
When building libpq, ip.c and md5.c were symlinked or copied from src/backend/libpq into src/interfaces/libpq, but now that we have a directory specifically for routines that are shared between the server and client binaries, src/common/, move them there. Some routines in ip.c were only used in the backend. Keep those in src/backend/libpq, but rename to ifaddr.c to avoid confusion with the file that's now in common. Fix the comment in src/common/Makefile to reflect how libpq actually links those files. There are two more files that libpq symlinks directly from src/backend: encnames.c and wchar.c. I don't feel compelled to move those right now, though. Patch by Michael Paquier, with some changes by me. Discussion: <[email protected]>

2016-05-06Remove various special checks around default rolesStephen Frost
Default roles really should be like regular roles, for the most part. This removes a number of checks that were trying to make default roles extra special by not allowing them to be used as regular roles. We still prevent users from creating roles in the "pg_" namespace or from altering roles which exist in that namespace via ALTER ROLE, as we can't preserve such changes, but otherwise the roles are very much like regular roles. Based on discussion with Robert and Tom.
