Changelog for postgresql96-9.6.9-lp154.4.2.x86_64.rpm :

* Wed May 16 2018 maxAATTsuse.com- Update to 9.6.9: https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/1851/ https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-9-6-9.html A dump/restore is not required for those running 9.6.X. However, if you use the adminpack extension, you should update it as per the first changelog entry below. Also, if the function marking mistakes mentioned in the second and third changelog entries below affect you, you will want to take steps to correct your database catalogs.
* CVE-2018-1115, bsc#1091610: Remove public execute privilege from contrib/adminpack\'s pg_logfile_rotate() function pg_logfile_rotate() is a deprecated wrapper for the core function pg_rotate_logfile(). When that function was changed to rely on SQL privileges for access control rather than a hard-coded superuser check, pg_logfile_rotate() should have been updated as well, but the need for this was missed. Hence, if adminpack is installed, any user could request a logfile rotation, creating a minor security issue. After installing this update, administrators should update adminpack by performing ALTER EXTENSION adminpack UPDATE in each database in which adminpack is installed.
* Fix incorrect volatility markings on a few built-in functions
* Fix incorrect parallel-safety markings on a few built-in functions.

* Thu May 12 2016 mrueckertAATTsuse.de- update to 9.6beta1 - Major Features of 9.6 Version 9.6 includes significant changes and exciting enhancements including: - Parallel sequential scans, joins and aggregates - Support for consistent, read-scaling clusters through multiple synchronous standbys and \"remote_apply\" synchronous commit. - Full text search for phrases - postgres_fdw can now execute sorts, joins, UPDATEs and DELETEs on the remote server - Decreased autovacuum impact on big tables by avoiding \"refreezing\" old data. - In particular, parallel execution should bring a noticeable increase in performance to supported queries. - Help Test for Bugs As with other major releases, the improvements in PostgreSQL include changes to large amounts of code. We count on you to test the altered version with your workloads and testing tools in order to find bugs and regressions before the release of PostgreSQL 9.6.0. In addition to testing that the new features work as documented, consider testing the following: - Do parallel queries actually improve performance for you? - Can you make parallel queries crash or lose data? - Do our code changes cause PostgreSQL to not function on your platform? - Does improved vacuum freezing safely reduce autovacuum of large tables? - Does phrase search return the results you expect? Version 9.6 Beta 1 also makes changes to the binary backup API. Administrators should test version 9.6 with PostgreSQL backup tools, including pgBackRest, Barman, WAL-E, and other packaged and in-house software. As this is a Beta, minor changes to database behaviors, feature details, and APIs are still possible. Your feedback and testing will help determine the final tweaks on the new features, so test soon. The quality of user testing helps determine when we can make a final release. http://www.postgresql.org/about/news/1668/ http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/release-9-6.html- refreshed patches to apply cleanly again: postgresql-plperl-keep-rpath.patch postgresql-testsuite-int8.sql.patch postgresql-testsuite-keep-results-file.patch postgresql-var-run-socket.patch- regress part is disabled atm as it causes a buildfailure- also remove static libraries in pglibdir. This release introduced a new file there called pgfeutils.a
* Wed May 04 2016 mrueckertAATTsuse.de- Security and bugfix release 9.5.2: (bnc# 978456) This release closes security hole CVE-2016-2193, where a query plan might get reused for more than one ROLE in the same session. This could cause the wrong set of Row Level Security (RLS) policies to be used for the query. The update also fixes CVE-2016-3065, a server crash bug triggered by using pageinspect with BRIN index pages. Since an attacker might be able to expose a few bytes of server memory, this crash is being treated as a security issue. - Fix two bugs in indexed ROW() comparisons - Avoid data loss due to renaming files - Prevent an error in rechecking rows in SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE - Fix bugs in multiple json_ and jsonb_ functions - Log lock waits for INSERT ON CONFLICT correctly - Ignore recovery_min_apply_delay until reaching a consistent state - Fix issue with pg_subtrans XID wraparound - Fix assorted bugs in Logical Decoding - Fix planner error with nested security barrier views - Prevent memory leak in GIN indexes - Fix two issues with ispell dictionaries - Avoid a crash on old Windows versions - Skip creating an erroneous delete script in pg_upgrade - Correctly translate empty arrays into PL/Perl - Make PL/Python cope with identifier names- changes from 9.5.1 (bnc# 966435 bnc# 966436 bnc# 978323) This release closes security hole CVE-2016-0773, an issue with regular expression (regex) parsing. Prior code allowed users to pass in expressions which included out-of-range Unicode characters, triggering a backend crash. This issue is critical for PostgreSQL systems with untrusted users or which generate regexes based on user input. The update also fixes CVE-2016-0766, a privilege escalation issue for users of PL/Java. Certain custom configuration settings (GUCS) for PL/Java will now be modifiable only by the database superuser. In addition to the above, many other issues were patched in this release based on bugs reported by our users over the last few months. This includes multiple fixes for new features introduced in version 9.5.0, as well as refactoring of pg_dump to eliminate a number of chronic issues with backing up EXTENSIONs. Among them are: - Fix many issues in pg_dump with specific object types - Prevent over-eager pushdown of HAVING clauses for GROUPING SETS - Fix deparsing error with ON CONFLICT ... WHERE clauses - Fix tableoid errors for postgres_fdw - Prevent floating-point exceptions in pgbench - Make \\det search Foreign Table names consistently - Fix quoting of domain constraint names in pg_dump - Prevent putting expanded objects into Const nodes - Allow compile of PL/Java on Windows - Fix \"unresolved symbol\" errors in PL/Python execution - Allow Python2 and Python3 to be used in the same database - Add support for Python 3.5 in PL/Python - Fix issue with subdirectory creation during initdb - Make pg_ctl report status correctly on Windows - Suppress confusing error when using pg_receivexlog with older servers - Multiple documentation corrections and additions - Fix erroneous hash calculations in gin_extract_jsonb_path() - This update also contains tzdata release 2016a, with updates for Cayman Islands, Metlakatla, Trans-Baikal Territory (Zabaykalsky Krai), and Pakistan.- changes from 9.5.0 A most-requested feature by application developers for several years, \"UPSERT\" is shorthand for \"INSERT, ON CONFLICT UPDATE\", allowing new and updated rows to be treated the same. UPSERT simplifies web and mobile application development by enabling the database to handle conflicts between concurrent data changes. This feature also removes the last significant barrier to migrating legacy MySQL applications to PostgreSQL. Developed over the last two years by Heroku programmer Peter Geoghegan, PostgreSQL\'s implementation of UPSERT is significantly more flexible and powerful than those offered by other relational databases. The new ON CONFLICT clause permits ignoring the new data, or updating different columns or relations in ways which will support complex ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) toolchains for bulk data loading. And, like all of PostgreSQL, it is designed to be absolutely concurrency-safe and to integrate with all other PostgreSQL features, including Logical Replication. PostgreSQL continues to expand database security capabilities with its new Row Level Security (RLS) feature. RLS implements true per-row and per-column data access control which integrates with external label-based security stacks such as SE Linux. PostgreSQL is already known as \"the most secure by default.\" RLS cements its position as the best choice for applications with strong data security requirements, such as compliance with PCI, the European Data Protection Directive, and healthcare data protection standards. RLS is the culmination of five years of security features added to PostgreSQL, including extensive work by KaiGai Kohei of NEC, Stephen Frost of Crunchy Data, and Dean Rasheed. Through it, database administrators can set security \"policies\" which filter which rows particular users are allowed to update or view. Data security implemented this way is resistant to SQL injection exploits and other application-level security holes. PostgreSQL 9.5 includes multiple new features for bigger databases, and for integrating with other Big Data systems. These features ensure that PostgreSQL continues to have a strong role in the rapidly growing open source Big Data marketplace. Among them are: BRIN Indexing: This new type of index supports creating tiny, but effective indexes for very large, \"naturally ordered\" tables. For example, tables containing logging data with billions of rows could be indexed and searched in 5% of the time required by standard BTree indexes. Faster Sorts: PostgreSQL now sorts text and NUMERIC data faster, using an algorithm called \"abbreviated keys\". This makes some queries which need to sort large amounts of data 2X to 12X faster, and can speed up index creation by 20X. CUBE, ROLLUP and GROUPING SETS: These new standard SQL clauses let users produce reports with multiple levels of summarization in one query instead of requiring several. CUBE will also enable tightly integrating PostgreSQL with more Online Analytic Processing (OLAP) reporting tools such as Tableau. Foreign Data Wrappers (FDWs): These already allow using PostgreSQL as a query engine for other Big Data systems such as Hadoop and Cassandra. Version 9.5 adds IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA and JOIN pushdown making query connections to external databases both easier to set up and more efficient. TABLESAMPLE: This SQL clause allows grabbing a quick statistical sample of huge tables, without the need for expensive sorting. \"The new BRIN index in PostgreSQL 9.5 is a powerful new feature which enables PostgreSQL to manage and index volumes of data that were impractical or impossible in the past. It allows scalability of data and performance beyond what was considered previously attainable with traditional relational databases and makes PostgreSQL a perfect solution for Big Data analytics,\" said Boyan Botev, Lead Database Administrator, Premier, Inc. http://www.postgresql.org/about/news/1636/- For the full release notes, see: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/release-9-5.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/release-9-5-1.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/release-9-5-2.html- refreshed patches to match new release postgresql-conf.patch postgresql-plperl-keep-rpath.patch postgresql-regress.patch postgresql-testsuite-keep-results-file.patch postgresql-var-run-socket.patch- drop postgresql-testsuite-seclabel-location.patch: the dummy seclabel test is gone
