E.20. Release 8.3.10
Release Date: 2010-03-15
This release contains a variety of fixes from 8.3.9. For information about new features in the 8.3 major release, see Section E.30.
E.20.1. Migration to Version 8.3.10
A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.3.X. However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 8.3.8, see the release notes for 8.3.8.
E.20.2. Changes
-
Add new configuration parameter ssl_renegotiation_limit to control how often we do session key renegotiation for an SSL connection (Magnus)
This can be set to zero to disable renegotiation completely, which may be required if a broken SSL library is used. In particular, some vendors are shipping stopgap patches for CVE-2009-3555 that cause renegotiation attempts to fail.
Fix possible deadlock during backend startup (Tom)
Fix possible crashes due to not handling errors during relcache reload cleanly (Tom)
Fix possible crash due to use of dangling pointer to a cached plan (Tatsuo)
Fix possible crashes when trying to recover from a failure in subtransaction start (Tom)
Fix server memory leak associated with use of savepoints and a client encoding different from server's encoding (Tom)
-
Fix incorrect WAL data emitted during end-of-recovery cleanup of a GIST index page split (Yoichi Hirai)
This would result in index corruption, or even more likely an error during WAL replay, if we were unlucky enough to crash during end-of-recovery cleanup after having completed an incomplete GIST insertion.
-
Make
substring()for bit types treat any negative length as meaning "all the rest of the string" (Tom)The previous coding treated only -1 that way, and would produce an invalid result value for other negative values, possibly leading to a crash (CVE-2010-0442).
Fix integer-to-bit-string conversions to handle the first fractional byte correctly when the output bit width is wider than the given integer by something other than a multiple of 8 bits (Tom)
Fix some cases of pathologically slow regular expression matching (Tom)
-
Fix assorted crashes in xml processing caused by sloppy memory management (Tom)
This is a back-patch of changes first applied in 8.4. The 8.3 code was known buggy, but the new code was sufficiently different to not want to back-patch it until it had gotten some field testing.
Fix bug with trying to update a field of an element of a composite-type array column (Tom)
Fix the STOP WAL LOCATION entry in backup history files to report the next WAL segment's name when the end location is exactly at a segment boundary (Itagaki Takahiro)
-
Fix some more cases of temporary-file leakage (Heikki)
This corrects a problem introduced in the previous minor release. One case that failed is when a plpgsql function returning set is called within another function's exception handler.
Improve constraint exclusion processing of boolean-variable cases, in particular make it possible to exclude a partition that has a "bool_column = false" constraint (Tom)
-
When reading pg_hba.conf and related files, do not treat @something as a file inclusion request if the @ appears inside quote marks; also, never treat @ by itself as a file inclusion request (Tom)
This prevents erratic behavior if a role or database name starts with @. If you need to include a file whose path name contains spaces, you can still do so, but you must write @"/path to/file" rather than putting the quotes around the whole construct.
Prevent infinite loop on some platforms if a directory is named as an inclusion target in pg_hba.conf and related files (Tom)
-
Fix possible infinite loop if
SSL_readorSSL_writefails without setting errno (Tom)This is reportedly possible with some Windows versions of openssl.
Disallow GSSAPI authentication on local connections, since it requires a hostname to function correctly (Magnus)
Make ecpg report the proper SQLSTATE if the connection disappears (Michael)
Fix psql's numericlocale option to not format strings it shouldn't in latex and troff output formats (Heikki)
Make psql return the correct exit status (3) when ON_ERROR_STOP and --single-transaction are both specified and an error occurs during the implied COMMIT (Bruce)
Fix plpgsql failure in one case where a composite column is set to NULL (Tom)
Fix possible failure when calling PL/Perl functions from PL/PerlU or vice versa (Tim Bunce)
Add volatile markings in PL/Python to avoid possible compiler-specific misbehavior (Zdenek Kotala)
-
Ensure PL/Tcl initializes the Tcl interpreter fully (Tom)
The only known symptom of this oversight is that the Tcl clock command misbehaves if using Tcl 8.5 or later.
Prevent crash in contrib/dblink when too many key columns are specified to a
dblink_build_sql_*function (Rushabh Lathia, Joe Conway)-
Allow zero-dimensional arrays in contrib/ltree operations (Tom)
This case was formerly rejected as an error, but it's more convenient to treat it the same as a zero-element array. In particular this avoids unnecessary failures when an ltree operation is applied to the result of ARRAY(SELECT ...) and the sub-select returns no rows.
Fix assorted crashes in contrib/xml2 caused by sloppy memory management (Tom)
Make building of contrib/xml2 more robust on Windows (Andrew)
-
Fix race condition in Windows signal handling (Radu Ilie)
One known symptom of this bug is that rows in pg_listener could be dropped under heavy load.
Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2010e for DST law changes in Bangladesh, Chile, Fiji, Mexico, Paraguay, Samoa.
