It also prevents <code class="command">CREATE IF NOT + EXISTS</code> in the same situation. This prevents a form of + trojan-horse attack in which a hostile database user could become + the owner of an extension object and then modify it to compromise + future uses of the object by other users. As a side benefit, it + also reduces the risk of accidentally replacing objects one did + not mean to. + </p><p> + The <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> Project thanks + Sven Klemm for reporting this problem. + (CVE-2022-2625) + </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> + Fix replay of <code class="command">CREATE DATABASE</code> WAL + records on standby servers + (Kyotaro Horiguchi, Asim R Praveen, Paul Guo) + </p><p> + Standby servers may encounter missing tablespace directories + when replaying database-creation WAL records. Prior to this + patch, a standby would fail to recover in such a case; + however, such directories could be legitimately missing. + Create the tablespace (as a plain directory), then check that it + has been dropped again once replay reaches a consistent state. + </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> + Support <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">in place</span>”</span> tablespaces + (Thomas Munro, Michael Paquier, Álvaro Herrera) + </p><p> + Normally a Postgres tablespace is a symbolic link to a directory on + some other filesystem. This change allows it to just be a plain + directory. While this has no use for separating tables onto + different filesystems, it is a convenient setup for testing. + Moreover, it is necessary to support the <code class="command">CREATE + DATABASE</code> replay fix, which transiently creates a missing + tablespace as an <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">in place</span>”</span> tablespace. + </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> + Fix permissions checks in <code class="command">CREATE INDEX</code> (Nathan + Bossart, Noah Misch) + </p><p> + The fix for CVE-2022-1552 caused <code class="command">CREATE INDEX</code> to + apply the table owner's permissions while performing lookups of + operator classes and other objects, where formerly the calling + user's permissions were used. This broke dump/restore scenarios, + because <span class="application">pg_dump</span> issues <code class="command">CREATE + INDEX</code> before re-granting permissions. + </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> + In extended query protocol, force an immediate commit + after <code class="command">CREATE DATABASE</code> and other commands that + can't run in a transaction block (Tom Lane) + </p><p> + If the client does not send a Sync message immediately after such a + command, but instead sends another command, any failure in that + command would lead to rolling back the preceding command, typically + leaving inconsistent state on-disk (such as a missing or extra + database directory). The mechanisms intended to prevent that + situation turn out to work for multiple commands in a simple-Query + message, but not for a series of extended-protocol messages. To + prevent inconsistency without breaking use-cases that work today, + force an implicit commit after such commands. + </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> + Fix race condition when checking transaction visibility (Simon Riggs) + </p><p> + <code class="function">TransactionIdIsInProgress</code> could + report <code class="literal">false</code> before the subject transaction is + considered visible, leading to various misbehaviors. The race + condition window is normally very narrow, but use of synchronous + replication makes it much wider, because the wait for a synchronous + replica happens in that window. + </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> + Fix incorrect plans when sorting by an expression that contains a + non-top-level set-returning function (Richard Guo, Tom Lane) + </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> + Fix incorrect permissions-checking code for extended statistics + (Richard Guo) + </p><p> + If there are extended statistics on a table that the user has only + partial <code class="literal">SELECT</code> permissions on, some queries would + fail with <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">unrecognized node type</span>”</span> errors. + </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> + Fix extended statistics machinery to handle MCV-type statistics on + boolean-valued expressions (Tom Lane) + </p><p> + Statistics collection worked fine, but a query containing such an + expression in <code class="literal">WHERE</code> would fail + with <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">unknown clause type</span>”</span>. + </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> + Avoid planner core dump with <code class="literal"><em class="replaceable"><code>constant</code></em> + = ANY(<em class="replaceable"><code>array</code></em>)</code> clauses when + there are MCV-type extended statistics on + the <em class="replaceable"><code>array</code></em> variable (Tom Lane) + </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> + Fix <code class="literal">ALTER TABLE ...

However, it emerges that some + earlier code could be driven to assertion failures or crashes by + queries with more than 32K columns.

This led to misbehaviors when a PL procedure + issued <code class="command">COMMIT</code> but a failure occurred (such as a + deferred constraint check). To improve matters, + redefine <code class="function">SPI_commit()</code> as starting a new + transaction, so that it becomes equivalent + to <code class="function">SPI_commit_and_chain()</code> except that you get + default transaction characteristics instead of preserving the prior + transaction's characteristics. To make this somewhat transparent + API-wise, redefine <code class="function">SPI_start_transaction()</code> as a + no-op. All known callers of <code class="function">SPI_commit()</code> + immediately call <code class="function">SPI_start_transaction()</code>, so + they will not notice any change.
