Reset OpenSSL randomness state in each postmaster child process
(Marko Kreen)
This avoids a scenario wherein random numbers generated by
contrib/pgcrypto functions might be relatively easy for
another database user to guess. The risk is only significant when
the postmaster is configured with ssl = on
but most connections don't use SSL encryption. (CVE-2013-1900)
Fix GiST indexes to not use "fuzzy" geometric comparisons when
it's not appropriate to do so (Alexander Korotkov)
The core geometric types perform comparisons using "fuzzy"
equality, but gist_box_same must do exact comparisons,
else GiST indexes using it might become inconsistent. After installing
this update, users should REINDEX any GiST indexes on
box, polygon, circle, or point
columns, since all of these use gist_box_same.
Fix erroneous range-union and penalty logic in GiST indexes that use
contrib/btree_gist for variable-width data types, that is
text, bytea, bit, and numeric
columns (Tom Lane)
These errors could result in inconsistent indexes in which some keys
that are present would not be found by searches, and also in useless
index bloat. Users are advised to REINDEX such indexes
after installing this update.
Fix bugs in GiST page splitting code for multi-column indexes
(Tom Lane)
These errors could result in inconsistent indexes in which some keys
that are present would not be found by searches, and also in indexes
that are unnecessarily inefficient to search. Users are advised to
REINDEX multi-column GiST indexes after installing this
update.
Fix infinite-loop risk in regular expression compilation (Tom Lane,
Don Porter)
Fix potential null-pointer dereference in regular expression compilation
(Tom Lane)
Fix to_char() to use ASCII-only case-folding rules where
appropriate (Tom Lane)
This fixes misbehavior of some template patterns that should be
locale-independent, but mishandled "I" and
"i" in Turkish locales.
Fix unwanted rejection of timestamp 1999-12-31 24:00:00
(Tom Lane)
Remove useless "picksplit doesn't support secondary split" log
messages (Josh Hansen, Tom Lane)
This message seems to have been added in expectation of code that was
never written, and probably never will be, since GiST's default
handling of secondary splits is actually pretty good. So stop nagging
end users about it.
Fix possible failure to send a session's last few transaction
commit/abort counts to the statistics collector (Tom Lane)
Eliminate memory leaks in PL/Perl's spi_prepare() function
(Alex Hunsaker, Tom Lane)
Fix pg_dumpall to handle database names containing
"=" correctly (Heikki Linnakangas)
Avoid crash in pg_dump when an incorrect connection
string is given (Heikki Linnakangas)
Ignore invalid indexes in pg_dump (Michael Paquier)
Dumping invalid indexes can cause problems at restore time, for example
if the reason the index creation failed was because it tried to enforce
a uniqueness condition not satisfied by the table's data. Also, if the
index creation is in fact still in progress, it seems reasonable to
consider it to be an uncommitted DDL change, which
pg_dump wouldn't be expected to dump anyway.
Fix contrib/pg_trgm's similarity() function
to return zero for trigram-less strings (Tom Lane)
Previously it returned NaN due to internal division by zero.
Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2013b
for DST law changes in Chile, Haiti, Morocco, Paraguay, and some
Russian areas. Also, historical zone data corrections for numerous
places.
Also, update the time zone abbreviation files for recent changes in
Russia and elsewhere: CHOT, GET,
IRKT, KGT, KRAT, MAGT,
MAWT, MSK, NOVT, OMST,
TKT, VLAT, WST, YAKT,
YEKT now follow their current meanings, and
VOLT (Europe/Volgograd) and MIST
(Antarctica/Macquarie) are added to the default abbreviations list.
