Package "libpq5"

  postgresql-14 (14.13-0ubuntu0.22.04.1) jammy-security; urgency=medium

  * New upstream version (LP: #2076183).

    + A dump/restore is not required for those running 14.X.

    + However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 14.12, see
      those release notes as well please.

    + Prevent unauthorized code execution during pg_dump (Masahiko Sawada)

      An attacker able to create and drop non-temporary objects could inject
      SQL code that would be executed by a concurrent pg_dump session with the
      privileges of the role running pg_dump (which is often a superuser).
      The attack involves replacing a sequence or similar object with a view
      or foreign table that will execute malicious code. To prevent this,
      introduce a new server parameter restrict_nonsystem_relation_kind that
      can disable expansion of non-builtin views as well as access to foreign
      tables, and teach pg_dump to set it when available. Note that the
      attack is prevented only if both pg_dump and the server it is dumping
      from are new enough to have this fix.

      The PostgreSQL Project thanks Noah Misch for reporting this problem.

  postgresql-14 (14.12-0ubuntu0.22.04.1) jammy-security; urgency=medium

  * New upstream version (LP: #2067388).

    + A dump/restore is not required for those running 14.X.

    + However, a security vulnerability was found in the system views
      pg_stats_ext and pg_stats_ext_exprs, potentially allowing
      authenticated database users to see data they shouldn't. If this is of
      concern in your installation, follow the steps below to rectify it.

    + Also, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 14.11, see
      those release notes as well please.

    + Restrict visibility of pg_stats_ext and pg_stats_ext_exprs entries
      to the table owner (Nathan Bossart)

      These views failed to hide statistics for expressions that involve
      columns the accessing user does not have permission to read. View
      columns such as most_common_vals might expose security-relevant
      data. The potential interactions here are not fully clear, so in the
      interest of erring on the side of safety, make rows in these views
      visible only to the owner of the associated table.

      The PostgreSQL Project thanks Lukas Fittl for reporting this
      problem.

      By itself, this fix will only fix the behavior in newly initdb'd
      database clusters. If you wish to apply this change in an existing
      cluster, you will need to do the following:

        - In each database of the cluster, run the
          /usr/share/postgresql/14/fix-CVE-2024-4317.sql script as superuser. In
          psql this would look like:

            \i /usr/share/postgresql/14/fix-CVE-2024-4317.sql

          It will not hurt to run the script more than once.

        - Do not forget to include the template0 and template1 databases,
          or the vulnerability will still exist in databases you create
          later. To fix template0, you'll need to temporarily make it accept
          connections. Do that with:

            ALTER DATABASE template0 WITH ALLOW_CONNECTIONS true;

          and then after fixing template0, undo it with:

            ALTER DATABASE template0 WITH ALLOW_CONNECTIONS false;

      (CVE-2024-4317)

  postgresql-14 (14.11-0ubuntu0.22.04.1) jammy-security; urgency=medium

  * New upstream version (LP: #2052850).

    + A dump/restore is not required for those running 14.X.

    + However, one bug was fixed that could have resulted in corruption of
      GIN indexes during concurrent updates. If you suspect such
      corruption, reindex affected indexes after installing this update.

    + Also, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 14.10, see
      those release notes as well please.

    + Tighten security restrictions within REFRESH MATERIALIZED
      VIEW CONCURRENTLY (Heikki Linnakangas)

      One step of a concurrent refresh command was run under weak security
      restrictions. If a materialized view's owner could persuade a
      superuser or other high-privileged user to perform a concurrent
      refresh on that view, the view's owner could control code executed
      with the privileges of the user running REFRESH.
      Fix things so that all user-determined code is run as the view's
      owner, as expected.

      The only known exploit for this error does not work in PostgreSQL
      16.0 and later, so it may be that v16 is not vulnerable in practice.

      The PostgreSQL Project thanks Pedro Gallegos for reporting this
      problem.

  postgresql-14 (14.10-0ubuntu0.22.04.1) jammy-security; urgency=medium

  * New upstream version (LP: #2040469).

    + A dump/restore is not required for those running 14.X.

    + However, several mistakes have been discovered that could lead to
      certain types of indexes yielding wrong search results or being
      unnecessarily inefficient. It is advisable to REINDEX
      potentially-affected indexes after installing this update.

    + Also, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 14.9, see
      those release notes as well please.

    + Fix handling of unknown-type arguments in DISTINCT "any" aggregate
      functions (Tom Lane)

      This error led to a text-type value being interpreted as an unknown-type
      value (that is, a zero-terminated string) at runtime. This could result
      in disclosure of server memory following the text value.
      (CVE-2023-5868)

    + Detect integer overflow while computing new array dimensions
      (Tom Lane)

      When assigning new elements to array subscripts that are outside the
      current array bounds, an undetected integer overflow could occur in edge
      cases. Memory stomps that are potentially exploitable for arbitrary code
      execution are possible, and so is disclosure of server memory.
      (CVE-2023-5869)

    + Prevent the <literal>pg_signal_backend</literal> role from
      signalling background workers and autovacuum processes (Noah Misch,
      Jelte Fennema-Nio)

      The documentation says that pg_signal_backend cannot issue signals to
      superuser-owned processes. It was able to signal these background
      processes, though, because they advertise a role OID of zero. Treat that
      as indicating superuser ownership. The security implications of
      cancelling one of these process types are fairly small so far as the
      core code goes (we'll just start another one), but extensions might add
      background workers that are more vulnerable.

      Also ensure that the is_superuser parameter is set correctly in such
      processes. No specific security consequences are known for that
      oversight, but it might be significant for some extensions.
      (CVE-2023-5870)

    + Fix misbehavior during recursive page split in GiST index build
      (Heikki Linnakangas)

      Fix a case where the location of a page downlink was incorrectly
      tracked, and introduce some logic to allow recovering from such
      situations rather than silently doing the wrong thing. This error
      could result in incorrect answers from subsequent index searches.
      It may be advisable to reindex all GiST indexes after installing
      this update.

    + Prevent de-duplication of btree index entries for interval columns
      (Noah Misch)

      There are interval values that are distinguishable but compare
      equal, for example "24:00:00" and "1 day". This breaks assumptions
      made by btree de-duplication, so interval columns need to be excluded
      from de-duplication. This oversight can cause incorrect results from
      index-only scans. Moreover, after updating amcheck will report an
      error for almost all such indexes. Users should reindex any btree
      indexes on interval columns.

    + Process date values more sanely in BRIN datetime_minmax_multi_ops
      indexes (Tomas Vondra)

      The distance calculation for dates was backward, causing poor
      decisions about which entries to merge. The index still produces
      correct results, but is much less efficient than it should be.
      Reindexing BRIN minmax_multi indexes on date columns is advisable.

    + Process large timestamp and timestamptz values more sanely in BRIN
      datetime_minmax_multi_ops indexes (Tomas Vondra)

      Infinities were mistakenly treated as having distance zero rather
      than a large distance from other values, causing poor decisions about
      which entries to merge. Also, finite-but-very-large values (near the
      endpoints of the representable timestamp range) could result in
      internal overflows, again causing poor decisions. The index still
      produces correct results, but is much less efficient than it should
      be. Reindexing BRIN minmax_multi indexes on timestamp and timestamptz
      columns is advisable if the column contains, or has contained,
      infinities or large finite values.

  * d/p/libpgport-pkglibdir: Adjust patch to reflect upstream changes.

  * d/p/50-per-version-dirs.patch: Adjust TestLib.pm's
    scan_server_header to account for unrelocatability of
    pg_config.
    This change replicates what is already being done in the
    check_pg_config function. They are needed because, during build time,
    we want to be able to run the upstream tests using the pg_config
    binary from inside the "debian/" directory, but that doesn't work out
    of the box because it will print includedir paths that also point to
    "debian/", instead of to "/usr/include". Therefore, we need to catch
    this specific scenario and print the proper includedir paths instead.

  postgresql-14 (14.9-0ubuntu0.22.04.1) jammy-security; urgency=medium

  * New upstream version (LP: #2028426).

    + A dump/restore is not required for those running 14.X.

    + However, if you use BRIN indexes, it may be advisable to reindex them.

    + Also, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 14.4, see
      those release notes as well please.

    + Disallow substituting a schema or owner name into an extension script
      if the name contains a quote, backslash, or dollar sign (Noah Misch)

      This restriction guards against SQL-injection hazards for trusted
      extensions.
      (CVE-2023-39417)

    + Fix confusion between empty (no rows) ranges and all-NULL ranges in
      BRIN indexes, as well as incorrect merging of all-NULL summaries
      (Tomas Vondra)

      Each of these oversights could result in forgetting that a BRIN
      index range contains any NULL values, potentially allowing
      subsequent queries that should return NULL values to miss doing so.

      This fix will not in itself correct faulty BRIN entries.
      It's recommended to REINDEX any BRIN indexes that
      may be used to search for nulls.
