postgresql-8.3 (8.3.8-0lenny1) stable-security; urgency=high
* New upstream security/bug fix release:
- Disallow "RESET ROLE" and "RESET SESSION AUTHORIZATION" inside
security-definer functions. This covers a case that was missed in the
previous patch that disallowed "SET ROLE" and "SET SESSION
AUTHORIZATION" inside security-definer functions. [CVE-2007-6600]
- Force WAL segment switch during pg_start_backup(). This avoids corner
cases that could render a base backup unusable.
- Make "LOAD" of an already-loaded loadable module into a no-op.
Formerly, "LOAD" would attempt to unload and re-load the module,
but this is unsafe and not all that useful.
- Disallow empty passwords during LDAP authentication.
- Fix handling of sub-SELECTs appearing in the arguments of an
outer-level aggregate function.
- Fix bugs associated with fetching a whole-row value from the output
of a Sort or Materialize plan node.
- Prevent synchronize_seqscans from changing the results of
scrollable and WITH HOLD cursors.
- Revert planner change that disabled partial-index and constraint
exclusion optimizations when there were more than 100 clauses in an
AND or OR list.
- Fix hash calculation for data type interval. This corrects wrong results
for hash joins on interval values. It also changes the contents of hash
indexes on interval columns. If you have any such indexes, you must
"REINDEX" them after updating.
- Treat to_char(..., 'TH') as an uppercase ordinal suffix with
'HH'/'HH12'. It was previously handled as 'th' (lowercase).
- Fix overflow for INTERVAL 'x ms' when "x" is more than 2 million
and integer datetimes are in use.
- Fix calculation of distance between a point and a line segment.
This led to incorrect results from a number of geometric operators.
- Fix money data type to work in locales where currency amounts have
no fractional digits, e.g. Japan.
- Fix LIKE for case where pattern contains %_.
- Properly round datetime input like 00:12:57.9999999999999999999999999999.
- Fix memory leaks in XML operations.
- Fix poor choice of page split point in GiST R-tree operator classes.
- Ensure that a "fast shutdown" request will forcibly terminate open
sessions, even if a "smart shutdown" was already in progress.
- Avoid performance degradation in bulk inserts into GIN indexes when
the input values are (nearly) in sorted order.
- Correctly enforce NOT NULL domain constraints in some contexts in
PL/pgSQL.
- Fix portability issues in plperl initialization.
- Fix pg_ctl to not go into an infinite loop if "postgresql.conf" is
empty.
- Improve pg_dump's efficiency when there are many large objects.
- Use SIGUSR1, not SIGQUIT, as the failover signal for pg_standby.
- Make pg_standby's maxretries option behave as documented.
- Make "contrib/hstore" throw an error when a key or value is too
long to fit in its data structure, rather than silently truncating
it.
- Fix "contrib/xml2"'s xslt_process() to properly handle the maximum
number of parameters (twenty).
- Improve robustness of libpq's code to recover from errors during
"COPY FROM STDIN".

postgresql-8.3 (8.3.7-0lenny1) stable; urgency=low
* New upstream bug fix release:
- Prevent error recursion crashes when encoding conversion fails.
This change extends fixes made in the last two minor releases for
related failure scenarios. The previous fixes were narrowly
tailored for the original problem reports, but we have now
recognized that any error thrown by an encoding conversion
function could potentially lead to infinite recursion while trying
to report the error. The solution therefore is to disable
translation and encoding conversion and report the plain-ASCII form
of any error message, if we find we have gotten into a recursive
error reporting situation. (Closes: #517405)
- Disallow "CREATE CONVERSION" with the wrong encodings for the
specified conversion function. This prevents one possible scenario for
encoding conversion failure. The previous change is a backstop to guard
against other kinds of failures in the same area.
- Fix xpath() to not modify the path expression unless necessary, and
to make a saner attempt at it when necessary.
The SQL standard suggests that xpath should work on data that is a
document fragment, but libxml doesn't support that, and indeed it's
not clear that this is sensible according to the XPath standard.
xpath attempted to work around this mismatch by modifying both the
data and the path expression, but the modification was buggy and
could cause valid searches to fail. Now, xpath checks whether the
data is in fact a well-formed document, and if so invokes libxml
with no change to the data or path expression. Otherwise, a
different modification method that is somewhat less likely to fail
is used.
Note: The new modification method is still not 100% satisfactory,
and it seems likely that no real solution is possible. This patch
should therefore be viewed as a band-aid to keep from breaking
existing applications unnecessarily. It is likely that PostgreSQL
8.4 will simply reject use of xpath on data that is not a
well-formed document.
- Fix core dump when to_char() is given format codes that are
inappropriate for the type of the data argument.
- Fix extreme inefficiency in text search parser's handling of an
email-like string containing multiple @ characters.
- Fix planner problem with sub-"SELECT" in the output list of a
larger subquery.
- Fix decompilation of CASE WHEN with an implicit coercion.
- Fix possible misassignment of the owner of a TOAST table's rowtype.
If "CLUSTER" or a rewriting variant of "ALTER TABLE" were executed
by someone other than the table owner, the pg_type entry for the
table's TOAST table would end up marked as owned by that someone.
This caused no immediate problems, since the permissions on the
TOAST rowtype aren't examined by any ordinary database operation.
However, it could lead to unexpected failures if one later tried to
drop the role that issued the command (in 8.1 or 8.2), or "owner of
data type appears to be invalid" warnings from pg_dump after having
done so (in 8.3).
- Change "UNLISTEN" to exit quickly if the current session has never
executed any "LISTEN" command.
Most of the time this is not a particularly useful optimization,
but since "DISCARD ALL" invokes "UNLISTEN", the previous coding
caused a substantial performance problem for applications that made
heavy use of "DISCARD ALL".
- Fix PL/pgSQL to not treat INTO after "INSERT" as an INTO-variables
clause anywhere in the string, not only at the start; in
particular, don't fail for "INSERT INTO" within "CREATE RULE".
- Clean up PL/pgSQL error status variables fully at block exit.
This is not a problem for PL/pgSQL itself, but the omission could
cause the PL/pgSQL Debugger to crash while examining the state of a
function.
- Add MUST (Mauritius Island Summer Time) to the default list of
known timezone abbreviations (Xavier Bugaud)

postgresql-8.3 (8.3.6-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream bug fix release:
- Make "DISCARD ALL" release advisory locks, in addition to
everything it already did. This was decided to be the most
appropriate behavior. This could affect existing applications,
however.
- Fix whole-index GiST scans to work correctly. This error could
cause rows to be lost if a table is clustered on a GiST index.
- Fix crash of xmlconcat(NULL).
- Fix possible crash in ispell dictionary if high-bit-set characters
are used as flags. This is known to be done by one widely
available Norwegian dictionary, and the same condition may exist
in others. (Closes: #513580)
- Fix misordering of pg_dump output for composite types. The most
likely problem was for user-defined operator classes to be
dumped after indexes or views that needed them.
- Improve handling of URLs in headline() function.
- Improve handling of overlength headlines in headline() function.
- Prevent possible Assert failure or misconversion if an encoding
conversion is created with the wrong conversion function for the
specified pair of encodings.
- Fix possible Assert failure if a statement executed in PL/pgSQL is
rewritten into another kind of statement, for example if an
"INSERT" is rewritten into an "UPDATE".
- Ensure that a snapshot is available to datatype input functions.
This primarily affects domains that are declared with CHECK
constraints involving user-defined stable or immutable functions.
Such functions typically fail if no snapshot has been set.
- Make it safer for SPI-using functions to be used within datatype
I/O; in particular, to be used in domain check constraints.
- Avoid unnecessary locking of small tables in "VACUUM".
- Fix a problem that sometimes kept "ALTER TABLE ENABLE/DISABLE RULE"
from being recognized by active sessions.
- Fix a problem that made UPDATE RETURNING tableoid return zero
instead of the correct OID.
- Allow functions declared as taking ANYARRAY to work on the
pg_statistic columns of that type.
This used to work, but was unintentionally broken in 8.3.
- Fix planner misestimation of selectivity when transitive equality
is applied to an outer-join clause.
This could result in bad plans for queries like ... from a left
join b on a.a1 = b.b1 where a.a1 = 42 ...
- Improve optimizer's handling of long IN lists. This change
avoids wasting large amounts of time on such lists when
constraint exclusion is enabled.
- Prevent synchronous scan during GIN index build. Because GIN is
optimized for inserting tuples in increasing TID order, choosing
to use a synchronous scan could slow the build by a factor of
three or more.
- Ensure that the contents of a holdable cursor don't depend on the
contents of TOAST tables. Previously, large field values in a
cursor result might be represented as TOAST pointers, which
would fail if the referenced table got dropped before the cursor
is read, or if the large value is deleted and then vacuumed
away. This cannot happen with an ordinary cursor, but it could
with a cursor that is held past its creating transaction.
- Fix memory leak when a set-returning function is terminated without
reading its whole result.
- Fix encoding conversion problems in XML functions when the database
encoding isn't UTF-8.
- Fix "contrib/dblink"'s dblink_get_result(text,bool) function.
- Fix possible garbage output from "contrib/sslinfo" functions.
- Fix incorrect behavior of "contrib/tsearch2" compatibility trigger
when it's fired more than once in a command.
- Fix possible mis-signaling in autovacuum.
- Fix ecpg's handling of varchar structs.
- Make all documentation reference pgsql-bugs and/or pgsql-hackers as
appropriate, instead of the now-decommissioned pgsql-ports and
pgsql-patches mailing lists.

postgresql-8.3 (8.3.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream bug fix release:
- Fix GiST index corruption due to marking the wrong index entry
"dead" after a deletion. This would result in index searches failing to
find rows they should have found.
- Fix backend crash when the client encoding cannot represent a
localized error message.
- Fix possible crash in bytea-to-XML mapping.
- Fix possible crash when deeply nested functions are invoked from a
trigger.
- Improve optimization of "expression" IN ("expression-list") queries.
- Fix mis-expansion of rule queries when a sub-SELECT appears in a
function call in FROM, a multi-row VALUES list, or a RETURNING list.
- Fix Assert failure during rescan of an IS NULL search of a GiST
index.
- Fix memory leak during rescan of a hashed aggregation plan.
- Ensure an error is reported when a newly-defined PL/pgSQL trigger
function is invoked as a normal function.
- Force a checkpoint before "CREATE DATABASE" starts to copy files.
This prevents a possible failure if files had recently been deleted
in the source database.
- Prevent possible collision of relfilenode numbers when moving a
table to another tablespace with "ALTER SET TABLESPACE". The command
tried to re-use the existing filename, instead of picking one that is
known unused in the destination directory.
- Fix incorrect text search headline generation when single query
item matches first word of text.
- Fix improper display of fractional seconds in interval values when
using a non-ISO datestyle.
- Make ILIKE compare characters case-insensitively even when they're
escaped.
- Ensure "DISCARD" is handled properly by statement logging.
- Fix incorrect logging of last-completed-transaction time during
PITR recovery.
- Ensure SPI_getvalue and SPI_getbinval behave correctly when the
passed tuple and tuple descriptor have different numbers of columns.
This situation is normal when a table has had columns added or
removed, but these two functions didn't handle it properly. The
only likely consequence is an incorrect error indication.
- Mark SessionReplicationRole as PGDLLIMPORT so it can be used by
Slony on Windows.
- Fix small memory leak when using libpq's gsslib parameter.
The space used by the parameter string was not freed at connection
close.
- Ensure libgssapi is linked into libpq if needed.
- Fix ecpg's parsing of "CREATE ROLE".
- Fix recent breakage of pg_ctl restart.
* 03-gettext-domains.patch: Unfuzz for new upstream version.
* Drop -contrib's libdbd-pg-perl to Suggests:, since it is only really
needed for bench.pl of the _int module. Changed description to point that
out.
* debian/control: Add explicit dependency to locales, to ensure that the
locales package is configured before postgresql-8.3. Otherwise, the server
fails to start up when locales is unpacked while postgresql-8.3 is
configured. (LP: #280135)

* Urgency medium due to RC bug fix (breaks upgrades).
* Add dependency to ssl-cert. This has always been implicitly there through
postgresql-common, but when upgrading -8.3 and ssl-cert at the same time,
apt does not ensure to configure ssl-cert before postgresql-8.3 if there
is no direct dependency. (Closes: #501690)
* debian/rules: Enable hardening when we build on Ubuntu. Lenny is too close
to release, so we do not enable that yet for Debian. Add hardening-wrapper
and lsb-release build dependencies for this.

postgresql-8.3 (8.3.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream bugfix release:
- Fix bug in btree WAL recovery code. Recovery failed if the WAL ended
partway through a page split operation.
- Fix potential use of wrong cutoff XID for HOT page pruning.
This error created a risk of corruption in system catalogs that are
consulted by "VACUUM": dead tuple versions might be removed too
soon. The impact of this on actual database operations would be
minimal, since the system doesn't follow MVCC rules while examining
catalogs, but it might result in transiently wrong output from
pg_dump or other client programs.
- Fix potential miscalculation of datfrozenxid.
- Fix incorrect HOT updates after pg_class is reindexed.
Corruption of pg_class could occur if REINDEX TABLE pg_class was
followed in the same session by an ALTER TABLE RENAME or ALTER
TABLE SET SCHEMA command.
- Fix missed "combo cid" case. This error made rows incorrectly invisible
to a transaction in which they had been deleted by multiple
subtransactions that all aborted.
- Prevent autovacuum from crashing if the table it's currently
checking is deleted at just the wrong time.
- Widen local lock counters from 32 to 64 bits. This responds to reports
that the counters could overflow in sufficiently long transactions,
leading to unexpected "lock is already held" errors.
- Fix possible duplicate output of tuples during a GiST index scan.
- Regenerate foreign key checking queries from scratch when either
table is modified. Previously, 8.3 would attempt to replan the query,
but would work from previously generated query text. This led to
failures if a table or column was renamed.
- Fix missed permissions checks when a view contains a simple UNION
ALL construct. Permissions for the referenced tables were checked
properly, but not permissions for the view itself.
- Add checks in executor startup to ensure that the tuples produced
by an "INSERT" or "UPDATE" will match the target table's current
rowtype. This situation is believed to be impossible in 8.3, but it can
happen in prior releases, so a check seems prudent.
- Fix possible repeated drops during "DROP OWNED". This would typically
result in strange errors such as "cache lookup failed for relation NNN".
- Fix several memory leaks in XML operations.
- Fix xmlserialize() to raise error properly for unacceptable target
data type.
- Fix a couple of places that mis-handled multibyte characters in
text search configuration file parsing. Certain characters occurring in
configuration files would always cause "invalid byte sequence for
encoding" failures.
- Provide file name and line number location for all errors reported
in text search configuration files.
- Fix AT TIME ZONE to first try to interpret its timezone argument as
a timezone abbreviation, and only try it as a full timezone name if
that fails, rather than the other way around as formerly.
- Fix datetime input functions to correctly detect integer overflow
when running on a 64-bit platform.
- Prevent integer overflows during units conversion when displaying a
configuration parameter that has units.
- Improve performance of writing very long log messages to syslog.
- Allow spaces in the suffix part of an LDAP URL in "pg_hba.conf".
- Fix bug in backwards scanning of a cursor on a SELECT DISTINCT ON
query.
- Fix planner bug that could improperly push down IS NULL tests below
an outer join.
- Fix planner bug with nested sub-select expressions.
- Fix planner to estimate that GROUP BY expressions yielding boolean
results always result in two groups, regardless of the expressions'
contents.
- Fix PL/PgSQL to not fail when a FOR loop's target variable is a
record containing composite-type fields.
- Fix PL/Tcl to behave correctly with Tcl 8.5, and to be more careful
about the encoding of data sent to or from Tcl.
- Improve performance of PQescapeBytea().
- Fix ecpg to handle variables properly in "SET" commands.
- Improve pg_dump and pg_restore's error reporting after failure to
send a SQL command.
- Fix pg_ctl to properly preserve postmaster command-line arguments
across a restart.
- Fix erroneous WAL file cutoff point calculation in pg_standby.
* debian/control: Bump Standards-Version (no changes necessary).
* debian/control: intarray contrib module was renamed to _int. (LP: #250483)

postgresql-8.3 (8.3.3-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream bugfix release (note that 8.3.2 was never officially released
due to the discovery of another major bug):
- Make pg_get_ruledef() parenthesize negative constants.
Before this fix, a negative constant in a view or rule might be
dumped as, say, -42::integer, which is subtly incorrect: it should
be (-42)::integer due to operator precedence rules. Usually this
would make little difference, but it could interact with another
recent patch to cause PostgreSQL to reject what had been a valid
"SELECT DISTINCT" view query. Since this could result in pg_dump
output failing to reload, it is being treated as a high-priority
fix. The only released versions in which dump output is actually
incorrect are 8.3.1 and 8.2.7.
- Make "ALTER AGGREGATE ... OWNER TO" update pg_shdepend.
This oversight could lead to problems if the aggregate was later
involved in a "DROP OWNED" or "REASSIGN OWNED" operation.
- Fix incorrect archive truncation point calculation for the %r macro
in recovery_command parameters. This could lead to data loss if a
warm-standby script relied on %r to decide when to throw away WAL
segment files.
- Fix "ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN ... PRIMARY KEY" so that the new column
is correctly checked to see if it's been initialized to all
non-nulls.
- Fix "REASSIGN OWNED" so that it works on procedural languages too.
- Fix problems with "SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE" occurring as a subquery
in a query with a non-"SELECT" top-level operation.
- Fix possible "CREATE TABLE" failure when inheriting the "same"
constraint from multiple parent relations that inherited that
constraint from a common ancestor.
- Fix pg_get_ruledef() to show the alias, if any, attached to the
target table of an "UPDATE" or "DELETE".
- Restore the pre-8.3 behavior that an out-of-range block number in a
TID being used in a TidScan plan results in silently not matching
any rows. 8.3.0 and 8.3.1 threw an error instead.
- Fix GIN bug that could result in a too many LWLocks taken failure.
- Fix broken GiST comparison function for tsquery.
- Fix tsvector_update_trigger() and ts_stat() to accept domains over
the types they expect to work with.
- Fix failure to support enum data types as foreign keys.
- Avoid possible crash when decompressing corrupted data.
- Fix race conditions between delayed unlinks and "DROP DATABASE".
In the worst case this could result in deleting a newly created
table in a new database that happened to get the same OID as the
recently-dropped one; but of course that is an extremely
low-probability scenario.
- Repair two places where SIGTERM exit of a backend could leave
corrupted state in shared memory.
- Fix possible crash due to incorrect plan generated for an x IN
(SELECT y FROM ...) clause when "x" and "y" have different data
types; and make sure the behavior is semantically correct when the
conversion from "y"'s type to "x"'s type is lossy.
- Fix oversight that prevented the planner from substituting known
Param values as if they were constants.
- Fix planner failure when an indexable MIN or MAX aggregate is used
with DISTINCT or ORDER BY.
- Fix planner to ensure it never uses a "physical tlist" for a plan
node that is feeding a Sort node.
- Avoid unnecessary copying of query strings.
- Make TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId() use binary search
instead of linear search when checking child-transaction XIDs.
This fixes some cases in which 8.3.0 was significantly slower than
earlier releases.
- Fix conversions between ISO-8859-5 and other encodings to handle
Cyrillic "Yo" characters (e and E with two dots).
- Fix several datatype input functions, notably array_in(), that were
allowing unused bytes in their results to contain uninitialized,
unpredictable values. This could lead to failures in which two
apparently identical literal values were not seen as equal, resulting in
the parser complaining about unmatched ORDER BY and DISTINCT
expressions.
- Fix a corner case in regular-expression substring matching
(substring(string from pattern)).
The problem occurs when there is a match to the pattern overall but
the user has specified a parenthesized subexpression and that
subexpression hasn't got a match. An example is substring('foo'
from 'foo(bar)?'). This should return NULL, since (bar) isn't
matched, but it was mistakenly returning the whole-pattern match
instead (ie, foo).
- Prevent cancellation of an auto-vacuum that was launched to prevent
XID wraparound.
- Improve "ANALYZE"'s handling of in-doubt tuples (those inserted or
deleted by a not-yet-committed transaction) so that the counts it
reports to the stats collector are more likely to be correct.
- Fix initdb to reject a relative path for its --xlogdir (-X) option.
- Make psql print tab characters as an appropriate number of spaces,
rather than \x09 as was done in 8.3.0 and 8.3.1.
- Add ECPGget_PGconn() function to ecpglib. Dropped
00upstream-ecpg-get-connection.patch, which backported this fix.
- Fix incorrect result from ecpg's PGTYPEStimestamp_sub() function.
- Fix handling of continuation line markers in ecpg.
- Fix possible crashes in "contrib/cube" functions.
- Fix core dump in "contrib/xml2"'s xpath_table() function when the
input query returns a NULL value.

postgresql-8.3 (8.3.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream bugfix release:
- Repair corner-case bugs in "VACUUM FULL".
- Fix misbehavior of foreign key checks involving character or bit

- Avoid needless deadlock failures in no-op foreign-key checks.
- Fix possible core dump when re-planning a prepared query.
- Fix possible failure when re-planning a query that calls an

- Fix failure in row-wise comparisons involving columns of different
datatypes.
- Fix longstanding "LISTEN"/"NOTIFY" race condition.
- Disallow "LISTEN" and "UNLISTEN" within a prepared transaction
This was formerly allowed but trying to do it had various
unpleasant consequences, notably that the originating backend could
not exit as long as an "UNLISTEN" remained uncommitted.
- Disallow dropping a temporary table within a prepared transaction
This was correctly disallowed by 8.1, but the check was
inadvertently broken in 8.2 and 8.3.
- Fix rare crash when an error occurs during a query using a hash
index.
- Fix incorrect comparison of tsquery values.
- Fix incorrect behavior of LIKE with non-ASCII characters in
single-byte encodings. (Closes: #469180)
- Disable xmlvalidate. This function should have been removed before 8.3
release, but was inadvertently left in the source code. It poses a small
security risk since unprivileged users could use it to read the first
few characters of any file accessible to the server.
- Fix memory leaks in certain usages of set-returning functions.
- Make encode(bytea, 'escape') convert all high-bit-set byte values
into \"nnn" octal escape sequences.
This is necessary to avoid encoding problems when the database
encoding is multi-byte. This change could pose compatibility issues
for applications that are expecting specific results from encode.
- Fix input of datetime values for February 29 in years BC.
The former coding was mistaken about which years were leap years.
. Fix "unrecognized node type" error in some variants of "ALTER
OWNER".
- Avoid tablespace permissions errors in "CREATE TABLE LIKE INCLUDING
INDEXES".
- Ensure pg_stat_activity.waiting flag is cleared when a lock wait is
aborted.
- Fix ecpg problems with arrays.
- Fix pg_ctl to correctly extract the postmaster's port number from
command-line options. Previously, pg_ctl start -w could try to contact
the postmaster on the wrong port, leading to bogus reports of startup
failure. (Closes: #358546)
- Use "-fwrapv" to defend against possible misoptimization in recent
gcc versions (4.3 and later).

postgresql-8.3 (8.3~rc1-1) experimental; urgency=low
* First release candidate of PostgreSQL 8.3. This also provides the security
bug fixes of 8.2.6:
- Prevent functions in indexes from executing with the privileges of
the user running "VACUUM", "ANALYZE", etc. "SET ROLE" is now forbidden
within a SECURITY DEFINER context. [CVE-2007-6600]
- Suitably crafted regular-expression patterns could cause crashes,
infinite or near-infinite looping, and/or massive memory
consumption, all of which pose denial-of-service hazards for
applications that accept regex search patterns from untrustworthy
sources. [CVE-2007-4769, CVE-2007-4772, CVE-2007-6067]
- Require non-superusers who use "/contrib/dblink" to use only
password authentication, as a security measure.
The fix that appeared for this in 8.2.5 was incomplete, as it
plugged the hole for only some "dblink" functions. [CVE-2007-6601,
CVE-2007-3278]
* debian/patches/04-psql-passwordprompt.patch: Update for new version.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.7.3 (no changes necessary).
* debian/rules:
- Build with -O1 on sparc and alpha until the miscompilation with -O2 is
sorted out (http://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/2007/11/msg00025.html).
- Have a failed test suite fail the build on all architectures again.
* Ship pg_config in postgresql-server-dev, and ship a copy in /usr/bin in
libpq-dev, instead of libpq-dev shipping it in
/usr/lib/postgresql/<version>/bin. This makes it possible to use a
libpq-dev from a different major version. (See #455509)
* debian/control: Mention tablefunc in -contrib description.
(Closes: #458752)
* debian/rules: Run make bigcheck instead of check, to run the numeric_big
test, too.
* debian/rules: Add target 'contrib-check' for running the tests in contrib.
Do not call it by default for now, still needs some work.
* debian/rules: Add target 'contrib-installcheck' for running the tests in
contrib, using the installed programs in the system.
* debian/rules: Replace hardcoded '8.3' strings with $(MAJOR_VER) variable.

postgresql-8.3 (8.3~beta3-1) experimental; urgency=low
* Third beta release of PostgreSQL 8.3.
* debian/rules:
- Ignore test suite failure on alpha for now, since it behaves weird on
some floating point operations (regression in glibc and gcc-4.2). Bug is
under investigation. Fixes FTBFS for now. (see #449002)
- Remove test suite ignoring for mips and mipsel again, seems the buildds
finally got a fixed kernel.
* Add debian/patches/12-psql-sensible-editor.patch: Use sensible-editor
instead of vi as editor fallback in psql if $EDITOR and friends are not
defined. (Closes: #451553)
* Enable OSSP UUID support, add build dependency libossp-uuid-dev.
(Closes: #451336)

breakage wrt. ordering of encoding names. Taken from upstream CVS head.
This requires a catalog bump, thus upgrades from 8.3~beta1-1 will break.
* debian/postgresql-8.3.postrm:
- Clean up rotated logs on purge when postgresql-common is already gone.

conditionally. Supply --with-lib{xml,xslt} configure options in
debian/rules.
* Updated patches for new upstream version.
* debian/control: Bump postgresql-common dependencies to >= 79 to ensure
support of version 8.3.
* debian/control: Do not build the versionless metapackages like
'postgresql' until 8.3 is released and goes to unstable. Until then, 8.2
should remain the default.
* Add debian/patches/04-psql-passwordprompt.patch: Change psql to not prompt
for a password if PGPASSWORD is given, just as in earlier versions.
Without that, there is no way to suppress the password input prompt, which
is bad for scripts.
* Add debian/patches/12-pgpassfile-crash.patch: Fix crash (free'ing a static
stack variable) in fe-connect.c.

process temporary tables of other sessions.
- Restrict "/contrib/pgstattuple" functions to superusers, for
security reasons.
- Do not let "/contrib/intarray" try to make its GIN opclass the
default (this caused problems at dump/restore).

postgresql-8.2 (8.2.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* New upstream security/bug fix release:
- Support explicit placement of the temporary-table schema within
search_path, and disable searching it for functions and operators.
This is needed to allow a security-definer function to set a truly
secure value of search_path. Without it, an unprivileged SQL user
can use temporary objects to execute code with the privileges of
the security-definer function (CVE-2007-2138). See "CREATE
FUNCTION" for more information.
- Fix to_char() so it properly upper/lower cases localized day or
month names.
- "/contrib/tsearch2" crash fixes.
- Require "COMMIT PREPARED" to be executed in the same database as
the transaction was prepared in.
- New traditional (Taiwan) Chinese FAQ.
- Prevent the statistics collector from writing to disk too
frequently.
- Fix potential-data-corruption bug in how "VACUUM FULL" handles
"UPDATE" chains.
- Fix bug in domains that use array types.
- Fix "pg_dump" so it can dump a serial column's sequence using "-t"
when not also dumping the owning table.
- Planner fixes, including improving outer join and bitmap scan
selection logic.
- Fix possible wrong answers or crash when a PL/pgSQL function tries
to RETURN from within an EXCEPTION block.
- Fix PANIC during enlargement of a hash index.
* debian/patches/04-timezone-symlinks.patch: Adapt to slightly changed

postgresql-8.2 (8.2.3-2) experimental; urgency=low
* debian/control: Add Perl dependency to p-8.2-plperl, to ensure that
creating plperl functions works (as opposed to plperlu, which only needs
libperl). (see bug #412135)
* debian/control: Do not mention nor suggest 'pgdocs' any more in p-doc's
description since pgdocs is only available for 7.4. (see bug #405097)
* debian/patches/04-timezone-symlinks.patch:
- Use the timezone database from the system tzdata instead of shipping our
own. Towards a single authoritative time zone database in Debian and
Ubuntu... :) (LP: #41159)
- Drop previous hardlink-to-symlink patch to zic, since that is irrelevant
now.
- debian/control: Add tzdata dependency.
* Add debian/patches/12-vacuum-cycle-hang.patch: Properly release our
semaphore lock before erroring out wit elog() to prevent deadlocks on
vacuum errors. Thanks to Heikki Linnakangas!
* debian/rules: Have a test suite failure fail the build again. Let's ignore
the old kernels on the Debian mips[el] buildds for now.

postgresql-8.2 (8.2.2-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New upstream security and bug fix release:
- Fix security vulnerabilities that allowed connected users to
read backend memory.
The vulnerabilities involve suppressing the normal check that a SQL
function returns the data type it's declared to, and changing the
data type of a table column (CVE-2007-0555, CVE-2007-0556). These
errors can easily be exploited to cause a backend crash, and in
principle might be used to read database content that the user
should not be able to access.
- Fix not-so-rare-anymore bug wherein btree index page splits could
fail due to choosing an infeasible split point.
- Properly handle to_char('CC') for years ending in 00.
Year 2000 is in the twentieth century, not the twenty-first.
- "/contrib/tsearch2" localization improvements.
- Fix incorrect permission check in information_schema.key_column_usage
view.
The symptom is "relation with OID nnnnn does not exist" errors. To
get this fix without using "initdb", use "CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW"
to install the corrected definition found in
"share/information_schema.sql". Note you will need to do this in
each database.
- Improve "VACUUM" performance for databases with many tables.
- Fix for rare Assert() crash triggered by UNION.
- Fix potentially incorrect results from index searches using ROW
inequality conditions.
- Tighten security of multi-byte character processing for UTF8
sequences over three bytes long.
- Fix possible crashes when an already-in-use PL/pgSQL function is
updated.
- Improve PL/pgSQL handling of domain types.
- Fix possible errors in processing PL/pgSQL exception blocks.

- Fix several problems in queries involving sub-SELECTs.
- Fix potential crash in SPI during subtransaction abort.
This affects all PL functions since they all use SPI.
- Improve build speed of PDF documentation.
- Re-add JST (Japan) timezone abbreviation.
- Improve optimization decisions related to index scans.
- Have psql print multi-byte combining characters as before, rather
than output as \u.
- Improve index usage of regular expressions that use parentheses.
This improves psql \d performance also.
- Make pg_dumpall assume that databases have public CONNECT
privilege, when dumping from a pre-8.2 server.
This preserves the previous behavior that anyone can connect to a
database if allowed by "pg_hba.conf".

postgresql-8.1 (8.1.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* New upstream security and bug fix release:
- The server now rejects invalidly-encoded multibyte characters in all
cases to defend against SQL-injection attacks. [CVE-2006-2313]
- Reject unsafe uses of \' in string literals (for client encodings that
allow SQL injection with this, like SJIS, BIG5, GBK, GB18030, or UHC). A
new configuration parameter backslash_quote is available to adjust this
behavior when needed. [CVE-2006-2314]
- Modify libpq's string-escaping routines to be aware of encoding
considerations and standard_conforming_strings
This fixes libpq-using applications for the security issues
described in CVE-2006-2313 and CVE-2006-2314, and also
future-proofs them against the planned changeover to SQL-standard
string literal syntax. Applications that use multiple PostgreSQL
connections concurrently should migrate to PQescapeStringConn() and
PQescapeByteaConn() to ensure that escaping is done correctly for
the settings in use in each database connection. Applications that
do string escaping "by hand" should be modified to rely on library
routines instead.
- Various bug fixes, see upstream changelog for details.
* Remove debian/patches/12-krb5-multiusers.patch: Fixed upstream.

postgresql-8.1 (8.1.3-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Re-enable 'do not run as root' check from upstream:
- Move debian/patches/08-disable-root-check.patch to
debian/disable-root-check.patch.
- debian/rules: Move test suite to binary/predeb and apply
disable-root-check.patch manually right before calling the test suite.
Unapply debian/disable-root-check.patch after executing the
test suite to not break subsequent package builds.
- With this, the test suite can happily run as (fake)root during package
build without disabling the check in the actual packages.
* postgresql-doc-8.1: Ship tutorial C and SQL files.
(https://launchpad.net/bugs/30233)
* debian/control, postgresql-client-8.1: Depend on postgresql-client-common
instead of postgresql-common.

* New upstream security and bug fix release:

- See upstream changelog for detailled changes.
* Remove debian/patches/80-cvs-pg_restore-COPY.patch: Upstream now.
* debian/rules: Use --as-needed linker option to avoid excessive
library dependencies.
* debian/control: Remove unnecessary dependencies from PL/Python and PL/Tcl
packages.

postgresql-8.1 (8.1.2-2) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/patches/09-relax-sslkey-permscheck.patch: Do not check for any
particular group if the SSL key is group readable, to allow sharing a
common SSL certificate with other server processes.
* debian/control: Add ${shlibs:Depends} to packages which need it.
Closes: #348066
* debian/control, libecpg5: Remove obsolete Provides/Conflicts to ecpg.
* Add debian/patches/80-cvs-pg_restore-COPY.patch:
- Fix pg_restore to properly discard COPY data when trying to continue
after an error in a COPY statement. Formerly it thought the COPY data
was SQL commands, and got quite confused.
- Patch from Stephen Frost, taken from upstream CVS.
* Add debian/patches/12-krb5-multiusers.patch:
- Fix krb5 credential handling in libpq for multiple connections with
different users: Don't keep credentials in global variables, but pass
them around in a new krb5_info struct.
- Patch from Stephen Frost, proposed to be adopted upstream.

postgresql-8.1 (8.1.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* New upstream bugfix release:
- Fix bug introduced in 8.0 that could allow ReadBuffer to return an
already-used page as new, potentially causing loss of recently-committed
data.
- Fix for protocol-level Describe messages issued outside a
transaction or in a failed transaction.
- Fix character string comparison for locales that consider different
character combinations as equal, such as Hungarian.
This might require "REINDEX" to fix existing indexes on textual
columns.
- Set locale environment variables during postmaster startup to
ensure that plperl won't change the locale later. This fixes a problem
that occurred if the postmaster was started
with environment variables specifying a different locale than what
initdb had been told. Under these conditions, any use of plperl was
likely to lead to corrupt indexes. You may need "REINDEX" to fix
existing indexes on textual columns if this has happened to you.
(postgresql-common checks and aborts on this condition.)
- Allow more flexible relocation of installation directories.
Previous releases supported relocation only if all installation
directory paths were the same except for the last component.
This makes the test suite work with Debian's directory structure, so
that the horology test can find the timezones again and pass.
- Prevent crashes caused by the use of ISO-8859-5 and ISO-8859-9
encodings.
- Fix longstanding bug in strpos() and regular expression handling in
certain rarely used Asian multi-byte character sets.
- Fix bug where COPY CSV mode considered any \. to terminate the copy
data. The new code requires \. to appear alone on a line, as per
documentation.
- Make COPY CSV mode quote a literal data value of \. to ensure it
cannot be interpreted as the end-of-data marker.
- Various fixes for functions returning RECORDs.
- Fix processing of "postgresql.conf" so a final line with no newline
is processed properly.
- Fix bug in "/contrib/pgcrypto" gen_salt, which caused it not to use
all available salt space for MD5 and XDES algorithms. Salts for
Blowfish and standard DES are unaffected.
- Fix autovacuum crash when processing expression indexes.
- Fix "/contrib/dblink" to throw an error, rather than crashing, when
the number of columns specified is different from what's actually
returned by the query.
* Remove debian/patches/12-readline-prompt-ignore.patch: Adopted upstream.
