Avoid possible crash when client disconnects just before the

authentication timeout expires (Benkocs Norbert Attila)

</para>
|

|

<para>
|
||||
If the timeout interrupt fired partway through the session shutdown
|
||||
sequence, SSL-related state would be freed twice, typically causing a
|
||||
crash and hence denial of service to other sessions. Experimentation
|
||||
shows that an unauthenticated remote attacker could trigger the bug
|
||||
somewhat consistently, hence treat as security issue.

Consistently check for failure of the <function>*printf()</> family of

functions (Noah Misch)

</para>

<para>
|

Most calls of these functions did not consider the possibility that
|
||||
the functions could fail with, eg, out-of-memory conditions. The usual
|
||||
result would just be missing output, but crashes or exposure of
|
||||
unintended information are also possible. To protect against such
|
||||
risks uniformly, create wrappers around these functions that throw an
|
||||
error on failure. Also add missing error checks to a few
|
||||
security-relevant calls of other system functions.

In <filename>contrib/pgcrypto</>, uniformly report decryption failures

</para>
|

|

<para>
|
||||
Previously, some cases of decryption with an incorrect key could report
|
||||
other error message texts. It has been shown that such variance in
|
||||
error reports can aid attackers in recovering keys from other systems.
|
||||
While it's unknown whether <filename>pgcrypto</>'s specific behaviors
|
||||
are likewise exploitable, it seems better to avoid the risk by using a
|
||||
one-size-fits-all message.
