  • postgresql-10 (10.7-0ubuntu0.18.10.1) cosmic; urgency=medium
    
      * New upstream release (LP: #1815665)
        - By default, panic instead of retrying after fsync() failure, to avoid
          possible data corruption. A new server parameter "guc-data-sync-retry"
          has been added to control this;
        - d/p/pg-10-Disallow-setting-client_min_messages-higher-than-ERR.patch:
          to retain SRU stability this patch reverts one of the changes which
          disabled the error suppression by setting client_min_messages to
          fatal or panic. Overall that means no change to the handling of
          client_min_messages due to this upload.
        - d/p/pg-10-Rename-rbtree.c-functions-to-use-rbt-prefix-not-rb-p.patch:
          this change of 10.7 would break an external ABI/API exposed to
          extensions. To avoid breaking those (especially those not in the Ubuntu
          Archive that we can't control) this change of upstreams stable release
          is reverted. Thereby the ABI/API is unchanged in regard to the rb_
          function prefix by this new package upload to Ubuntu.

  • postgresql-10 (10.5-1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * New upstream version.
        + Fix failure to reset libpq's state fully between connection attempts
    
          An unprivileged user of dblink or postgres_fdw could bypass the checks
          intended to prevent use of server-side credentials, such as a ~/.pgpass
          file owned by the operating-system user running the server.  Servers
          allowing peer authentication on local connections are particularly
          vulnerable.  Other attacks such as SQL injection into a postgres_fdw
          session are also possible. Attacking postgres_fdw in this way requires
          the ability to create a foreign server object with selected connection
          parameters, but any user with access to dblink could exploit the
          problem. In general, an attacker with the ability to select the
          connection parameters for a libpq-using application could cause
          mischief, though other plausible attack scenarios are harder to think
          of. Our thanks to Andrew Krasichkov for reporting this issue.
          (CVE-2018-10915)
    
        + Fix INSERT ... ON CONFLICT UPDATE through a view that isn't just SELECT
          FROM ...
    
          Erroneous expansion of an updatable view could lead to crashes or
          attribute ... has the wrong type errors, if the view's SELECT list
          doesn't match one-to-one with the underlying table's columns.
          Furthermore, this bug could be leveraged to allow updates of columns
          that an attacking user lacks UPDATE privilege for, if that user has
          INSERT and UPDATE privileges for some other column(s) of the table. Any
          user could also use it for disclosure of server memory. (CVE-2018-10925)
    
      * Remove version checking for libselinux1-dev, 2.1.10 is old enough now.
      * Drop support for tcl8.5.
      * Use dh_auto_configure to correctly seed the build architecture.
      * Filter -fdebug-prefix-map and -ffile-prefix-map in more places, and make
        PGXS modules build reproducibly.
      * Add new pgtypes header and symbol.

        + Fix incorrect volatility and parallel-safety markings on a few built-in
          functions.
    
      * Move libpgport.a, libpgcommon.a, and libpgfeutils.a from libdir to
        pkglibdir.
      * Revert "B-D on python3-distutils | python3-dev (<< 3.6.4~rc1-2)".

      * New upstream version.
    
        If you run an installation in which not all users are mutually
        trusting, or if you maintain an application or extension that is
        intended for use in arbitrary situations, it is strongly recommended
        that you read the documentation changes described in the first changelog
        entry below, and take suitable steps to ensure that your installation or
        code is secure.
    
        Also, the changes described in the second changelog entry below may
        cause functions used in index expressions or materialized views to fail
        during auto-analyze, or when reloading from a dump.  After upgrading,
        monitor the server logs for such problems, and fix affected functions.
    
        + Document how to configure installations and applications to guard
          against search-path-dependent trojan-horse attacks from other users
    
          Using a search_path setting that includes any schemas writable by a
          hostile user enables that user to capture control of queries and then
          run arbitrary SQL code with the permissions of the attacked user.  While
          it is possible to write queries that are proof against such hijacking,
          it is notationally tedious, and it's very easy to overlook holes.
          Therefore, we now recommend configurations in which no untrusted schemas
          appear in one's search path.
          (CVE-2018-1058)
    
        + Avoid use of insecure search_path settings in pg_dump and other client
          programs
    
          pg_dump, pg_upgrade, vacuumdb and other PostgreSQL-provided applications
          were themselves vulnerable to the type of hijacking described in the
          previous changelog entry; since these applications are commonly run by
          superusers, they present particularly attractive targets.  To make them
          secure whether or not the installation as a whole has been secured,
          modify them to include only the pg_catalog schema in their search_path
          settings. Autovacuum worker processes now do the same, as well.
    
          In cases where user-provided functions are indirectly executed by these
          programs -- for example, user-provided functions in index expressions --
          the tighter search_path may result in errors, which will need to be
          corrected by adjusting those user-provided functions to not assume
          anything about what search path they are invoked under.  That has always
          been good practice, but now it will be necessary for correct behavior.
          (CVE-2018-1058)
