postgresql-16 16.1-1 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
postgresql-16 (16.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream version. * 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. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Jingzhou Fu for reporting this problem. (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. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Pedro Gallegos for reporting this problem. (CVE-2023-5869) * Prevent the pg_signal_backend 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. The PostgreSQL Project thanks Hemanth Sandrana and Mahendrakar Srinivasarao for reporting this problem. (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 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. * Use default LLVM version; package is now compatible with LLVM 16. * Rebase debian/patches/libpgport-pkglibdir. -- Christoph Berg <email address hidden> Tue, 07 Nov 2023 14:18:31 +0100

- postgresql-16: The World's Most Advanced Open Source Relational Database
PostgreSQL, also known as Postgres, is a free and open-source relational
database management system (RDBMS) emphasizing extensibility and SQL
compliance. It features transactions with Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation,
Durability (ACID) properties, automatically updatable views, materialized
views, triggers, foreign keys, and stored procedures. It is designed to handle
a range of workloads, from single machines to data warehouses or Web services
with many concurrent users.

programs for creating and removing users and databases.
.
This is the client package for PostgreSQL 16. If you install
PostgreSQL 16 on a standalone machine, you need the server package
postgresql-16, too. On a network, you can install this package on
many client machines, while the server package may be installed on
only one machine.
