Secure Unix-domain sockets of temporary postmasters started during
|
||||
<literal>make check</> (Noah Misch)
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Any local user able to access the socket file could connect as the
|
||||
server's bootstrap superuser, then proceed to execute arbitrary code as
|
||||
the operating-system user running the test, as we previously noted in
|
||||
CVE-2014-0067. This change defends against that risk by placing the
|
||||
server's socket in a temporary, mode 0700 subdirectory
|
||||
of <filename>/tmp</>. The hazard remains however on platforms where
|
||||
Unix sockets are not supported, notably Windows, because then the
|
||||
temporary postmaster must accept local TCP connections.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
A useful side effect of this change is to simplify
|
||||
<literal>make check</> testing in builds that
|
||||
override <literal>DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR</>. Popular non-default values
|
||||
like <filename>/var/run/postgresql</> are often not writable by the
|
||||
build user, requiring workarounds that will no longer be necessary.

Properly quote executable path names on Windows (Nikhil Deshpande)

Avoid buffer bloat in <application>libpq</> when the server

|

(Shin-ichi Morita, Tom Lane)
|

</para>
|

|

<para>
|
||||
<application>libpq</> could be coerced into enlarging its input buffer
|
||||
until it runs out of memory (which would be reported misleadingly
|
||||
as <quote>lost synchronization with server</>). Under ordinary
|
||||
circumstances it's quite far-fetched that data could be continuously
|
||||
transmitted more quickly than the <function>recv()</> loop can
|
||||
absorb it, but this has been observed when the client is artificially
|
||||
slowed by scheduler constraints.

A direct-to-database restore from an archive file generated by a

Secure Unix-domain sockets of temporary postmasters started during

||||
<literal>make check</> (Noah Misch)
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Any local user able to access the socket file could connect as the
|
||||
server's bootstrap superuser, then proceed to execute arbitrary code as
|
||||
the operating-system user running the test, as we previously noted in
|
||||
CVE-2014-0067. This change defends against that risk by placing the
|
||||
server's socket in a temporary, mode 0700 subdirectory
|
||||
of <filename>/tmp</>. The hazard remains however on platforms where
|
||||
Unix sockets are not supported, notably Windows, because then the
|
||||
temporary postmaster must accept local TCP connections.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
A useful side effect of this change is to simplify
|
||||
<literal>make check</> testing in builds that
|
||||
override <literal>DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR</>. Popular non-default values
|
||||
like <filename>/var/run/postgresql</> are often not writable by the
|
||||
build user, requiring workarounds that will no longer be necessary.
