   <para>
    A dump/restore is not required for those running 14.X.

   <para>
    However, a security vulnerability was found in the system
    views <structname>pg_stats_ext</structname>
    and <structname>pg_stats_ext_exprs</structname>, potentially allowing
    authenticated database users to see data they shouldn't.  If this is
    of concern in your installation, follow the steps in the first
    changelog entry below to rectify it.

      Restrict visibility of <structname>pg_stats_ext</structname> and

      owner (Nathan Bossart)
     </para>

     <para>
      These views failed to hide statistics for expressions that involve
      columns the accessing user does not have permission to read.  View
      columns such as <structfield>most_common_vals</structfield> might
      expose security-relevant data.  The potential interactions here are
      not fully clear, so in the interest of erring on the side of safety,
      make rows in these views visible only to the owner of the associated
      table.

      The <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> Project thanks

     </para>

     <para>
      By itself, this fix will only fix the behavior in newly initdb'd
      database clusters.  If you wish to apply this change in an existing
      cluster, you will need to do the following:
     </para>

     <procedure>
      <step>
       <para>
        Find the SQL script <filename>fix-CVE-2024-4317.sql</filename> in
        the <replaceable>share</replaceable> directory of
        the <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> installation (typically
        located someplace like <filename>/usr/share/postgresql/</filename>).
        Be sure to use the script appropriate to
        your <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> major version.
        If you do not see this file, either your version is not vulnerable
        (only v14&ndash;v16 are affected) or your minor version is too
        old to have the fix.
       </para>
      </step>

      <step>
       <para>
        In <emphasis>each</emphasis> database of the cluster, run
        the <filename>fix-CVE-2024-4317.sql</filename> script as superuser.
        In <application>psql</application> this would look like
<programlisting>
\i /usr/share/postgresql/fix-CVE-2024-4317.sql
</programlisting>
        (adjust the file path as appropriate).  Any error probably indicates
        that you've used the wrong script version.  It will not hurt to run
        the script more than once.
       </para>
      </step>

      <step>
       <para>
        Do not forget to include the <literal>template0</literal>
        and <literal>template1</literal> databases, or the vulnerability
        will still exist in databases you create later.  To
        fix <literal>template0</literal>, you'll need to temporarily make
        it accept connections.  Do that with
<programlisting>
ALTER DATABASE template0 WITH ALLOW_CONNECTIONS true;
</programlisting>
        and then after fixing <literal>template0</literal>, undo it with
<programlisting>
ALTER DATABASE template0 WITH ALLOW_CONNECTIONS false;
</programlisting>

      the table to be moved to that schema too (along with indexes and
      constraints).  This was overlooked for foreign tables, however.

      Avoid deadlock during removal of orphaned temporary tables
      (Mikhail Zhilin)
     </para>

     <para>
      If the session that creates a temporary table crashes without
      removing the table, autovacuum will eventually try to remove the
      orphaned table.  However, an incoming session that's been assigned
      the same temporary namespace will do that too.  If a temporary table
      has a dependency (such as an owned sequence) then a deadlock could
      result between these two cleanup attempts.

      When a plain aggregate is used as a window function, and the window

      the frame's head cannot move so we do not need to use the special
      (and more expensive) moving-aggregate mode.  This optimization was

      Tighten security restrictions within <command>REFRESH MATERIALIZED

     <para>
      One step of a concurrent refresh command was run under weak security
      restrictions.  If a materialized view's owner could persuade a
      superuser or other high-privileged user to perform a concurrent
      refresh on that view, the view's owner could control code executed
      with the privileges of the user running <command>REFRESH</command>.
      Fix things so that all user-determined code is run as the view's
      owner, as expected.

      Prevent access to a no-longer-pinned buffer in <literal>BEFORE ROW

     </para>

     <para>
      If the tuple being updated had just been updated and moved to
      another page by another session, there was a narrow window where
      we would attempt to fetch data from the new tuple version without
      any pin on its buffer.  In principle this could result in garbage
      data appearing in non-updated columns of the proposed new tuple.
      The odds of problems in practice seem rather low, however.

      Detect that a new catalog cache entry became stale while detoasting
      its fields (Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      We expand any out-of-line fields in a catalog tuple before inserting
      it into the catalog caches.  That involves database access which
      might cause invalidation of catalog cache entries &mdash; but the
      new entry isn't in the cache yet, so we would miss noticing that it
      should get invalidated.  The result is a race condition in which an
      already-stale cache entry could get made, and then persist
      indefinitely.  This would lead to hard-to-predict misbehavior.
      Fix by rechecking the tuple's visibility after detoasting.

      Prevent standby servers from incorrectly processing dead index
      tuples during subtransactions (Fei Changhong)
     </para>

     <para>
      The <structfield>startedInRecovery</structfield> flag was not
      correctly set for a subtransaction.  This affects only processing of
      dead index tuples.  It could allow a query in a subtransaction to
      ignore index entries that it should return (if they are already dead
      on the primary server, but not dead to the standby transaction), or
      to prematurely mark index entries as dead that are not yet dead on
      the primary.  It is not clear that the latter case has any serious
      consequences, but it's not the intended behavior.

      Prevent examining system catalogs with the wrong snapshot during
      logical decoding (Fei Changhong)
     </para>

     <para>
      If decoding begins partway through a transaction that modifies
      system catalogs, the decoder may not recognize that, causing it to
      fail to treat that transaction as in-progress for catalog lookups.
      This fix deals with the case that a top-level transaction is already
      marked as containing catalog changes, but its subtransaction(s) are
      not.

     <para>
      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.

      Prevent the <literal>pg_signal_backend</literal> role from
      signalling background workers and autovacuum processes
      (Noah Misch, Jelte Fennema-Nio)
     </para>

     <para>
      The documentation says that <literal>pg_signal_backend</literal>
      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.
     </para>

     <para>
      Also ensure that the <varname>is_superuser</varname> parameter is
      set correctly in such processes.  No specific security consequences
      are known for that oversight, but it might be significant for some
      extensions.

      Prevent de-duplication of btree index entries

      and <literal>1 day</literal>.  This breaks assumptions made by btree

      from index-only scans.  Moreover, after
      updating <application>amcheck</application> will report an error for
      almost all such indexes.  Users should reindex any btree indexes

      Process large <type>timestamp</type> and <type>timestamptz</type>
      values more sanely in
      BRIN <literal>datetime_minmax_multi_ops</literal> indexes
      (Tomas Vondra)
     </para>

     <para>
      Infinities were mistakenly treated as having distance zero rather
      than a large distance from other values, causing poor decisions
      about which entries to merge.  Also, finite-but-very-large values
      (near the endpoints of the representable timestamp range) could
      result in internal overflows, again causing poor decisions.  The
      index still produces correct results, but is much less efficient
      than it should be.  Reindexing BRIN <literal>minmax_multi</literal>
      indexes on <type>timestamp</type> and <type>timestamptz</type>
      columns is advisable if the column contains, or has contained,
      infinities or large finite values.

     <para>
      If the initially-named table is excluded by constraints, but not all
      its inheritance descendants are, the first non-excluded descendant
      was identified as the primary target table.  This would lead to
      firing statement-level triggers associated with that table, rather

     <para>
      When restoring an indexscan to a previously marked position, the
      code could miss required setup steps if the scan had advanced
      exactly to the end of the matches for a ScalarArrayOpExpr (that is,
      an <literal>indexcol = ANY(ARRAY[])</literal>) clause.  This could
      result in missing some rows that should have been fetched.

      just forked by <function>system()</function> (Nathan Bossart)
     </para>

     <para>
      This fix avoids a race condition in which a child process that has
      been forked off by <function>system()</function>, but hasn't yet
      exec'd the intended child program, might receive and act on a signal
      intended for the parent server process.  That would lead to
      duplicate cleanup actions being performed, which will not end well.

      Cope with torn reads of <filename>pg_control</filename> in frontend

     </para>

     <para>
      On some file systems, reading <filename>pg_control</filename> may
      not be an atomic action when the server concurrently writes that
      file.  This is detectable via a bad CRC.  Retry a few times to see
      if the file becomes valid before we report error.

      Remove <literal>PHOT</literal> (Phoenix Islands Time) from the

     <para>
      Presence of this abbreviation in the default list can cause failures
      on recent Debian and Ubuntu releases, as they no longer install the
      underlying tzdb entry by default.  Since this is a made-up
      abbreviation for a zone with a total human population of about two
      dozen, it seems unlikely that anyone will miss it.  If someone does,
      they can put it back via a custom abbreviations file.

     <para>
      Fix confusion between empty (no rows) ranges and all-NULL ranges in
      BRIN indexes, as well as incorrect merging of all-NULL summaries
      (Tomas Vondra)
     </para>

     <para>
      Each of these oversights could result in forgetting that a BRIN
      index range contains any NULL values, potentially allowing
      subsequent queries that should return NULL values to miss doing so.
     </para>

     <para>
      This fix will not in itself correct faulty BRIN entries.
      It's recommended to <command>REINDEX</command> any BRIN indexes that
      may be used to search for nulls.

      Avoid leaving a corrupted database behind when <command>DROP
      DATABASE</command> is interrupted (Andres Freund)
     </para>

     <para>
      If <command>DROP DATABASE</command> was interrupted after it had
      already begun taking irreversible steps, the target database
      remained accessible (because the removal of
      its <structname>pg_database</structname> row would roll back),
      but it would have corrupt contents.  Fix by marking the database
      as inaccessible before we begin to perform irreversible operations.
      A failure after that will leave the database still partially
      present, but nothing can be done with it except to issue
      another <command>DROP DATABASE</command>.

      Ensure that partitioned indexes are correctly marked as valid or not

     <para>
      If a new partitioned index matches an existing but invalid index on
      one of the partitions, the partitioned index could end up being
      marked valid prematurely.  This could lead to misbehavior or
      assertion failures in subsequent queries on the partitioned table.

     <para>
      While an unlogged index's main data fork is not WAL-logged, its init
      fork should be, to ensure that we have a consistent state to restore
      the index to after a crash.  This step was missed if the init fork
      contains no data, which is a case not used by any standard index AM;
      but perhaps some extension behaves that way.

      Enforce row-level security policies correctly after inlining a

     <para>
      If a set-returning SQL-language function refers to a table having
      row-level security policies, and it can be inlined into a calling
      query, those RLS policies would not get enforced properly in some
      cases involving re-using a cached plan under a different role.
      This could allow a user to see or modify rows that should have been
      invisible.

      Most cases in which a syntax error is detected in a string literal
      within a JSON value failed to set the error cursor appropriately.
      This led at least to an unhelpful error message (pointing to the

      In v14 and later with non-default settings
      of <varname>vacuum_defer_cleanup_age</varname>, it was possible to
      compute a very large vacuum cleanup horizon xid, leading to vacuum
      removing rows that are still live.  v12 and v13 have a lesser form
      of the same problem affecting only GiST indexes, which could lead to
      index pages getting recycled too early.

      <application>plpython</application> could misbehave when dealing
      with empty sub-lists, or when the nesting of sub-lists is
      inconsistent so that the data does not represent a rectangular array
      of values.  The former should result in an empty output array, and
      the latter in an error.  But some cases resulted in a crash, and
      others in unexpected output.

     <para>
      Fix <application>pg_dump</application> so that partitioned tables
      that are hash-partitioned on an enum-type column can be restored
      successfully (Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      Since the hash codes for enum values depend on the OIDs assigned to
      the enum, they are typically different after a dump and restore,
      meaning that rows often need to go into a different partition than
      they were in originally.  Users can work around that by specifying
      the <option>--load-via-partition-root</option> option; but since
      there is very little chance of success without that,
      teach <application>pg_dump</application> to apply it automatically
      to such tables.
     </para>

     <para>
      Also, fix <application>pg_restore</application> to not try
      to <command>TRUNCATE</command> target tables before restoring into
      them when <option>--load-via-partition-root</option> mode is used.
      This avoids a hazard of deadlocks and lost data.

      In cases of corruption we might see a wrapped-around 32-bit xid that

      A modified server, or an unauthenticated man-in-the-middle, can
      send a not-zero-terminated error message during setup of GSSAPI
      (Kerberos) transport encryption.  <application>libpq</application>
      will then copy that string, as well as following bytes in
      application memory up to the next zero byte, to its error report.
      Depending on what the calling application does with the error
      report, this could result in disclosure of application memory
      contents.  There is also a small probability of a crash due to
      reading beyond the end of memory.  Fix by properly zero-terminating
      the server message.

      Reject cancel request packets having the wrong length

     <para>
      The server would process a cancel request even if its length word
      was too small.  This led to reading beyond the end of the allocated
      buffer.  In theory that could cause a segfault, but it seems quite
      unlikely to happen in practice, since the buffer would have to be
      very close to the end of memory.  The more likely outcome was a bogus
      log message about wrong backend PID or cancel code.  Complain about
      the wrong length, instead.

      Fix deadlock between <command>DROP DATABASE</command> and logical

     <para>
      This was caused by an ill-advised choice to block interrupts while
      creating a logical replication slot in the worker.  In version 15
      that could lead to an undetected deadlock.  In version 14, no
      deadlock has been observed, but it's still a bad idea to block
      interrupts while waiting for network I/O.

     <para>
      After a server restart, we'll re-stream the changes for transactions

      away the relevant decoding state locally, but we neglected to tell
      the subscriber about it.  That led to the subscriber keeping useless
      streaming files until it's next restarted.

      Fix incorrect matching of index expressions and predicates when

     <para>
      While creating a partitioned index, we try to identify any existing
      indexes on the partitions that match the partitioned index, so that
      we can absorb those as child indexes instead of building new ones.
      Matching of expressions was not done right, so that a usable child
      index might be ignored, leading to creation of a duplicative index.

      Although partitioned tables can have foreign tables as partitions,
      replicating into such a partition isn't currently supported.
      The logical replication worker process would crash if it was

      If a non-inlined SQL function uses a parameter in more than one
      place, and one of those functions expects to be able to modify
      read-write datums in place, then later uses of the parameter would
      observe the wrong value.  (Within
      core <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>, the expanded-datum
      mechanism is only used for array and composite-type values; but
      extensions might use it for other structured types.)

      In Snowball dictionaries, don't try to stem excessively-long words
      (Olly Betts, Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      If the input word exceeds 1000 bytes, return it as-is after case
      folding, rather than trying to run it through the Snowball code.
      This restriction protects against a known
      recursion-to-stack-overflow problem in the Turkish stemmer, and it
      seems like good insurance against any other safety or performance
      issues that may exist in the Snowball stemmers.  Such a long string
      is surely not a word in any human language, so it's doubtful that
      the stemmer would have done anything desirable with it anyway.

      Add missing guards for <literal>NULL</literal> connection pointer

      of crashing.  <function>PQflush()</function>
      and <function>PQisnonblocking()</function> didn't get that memo, so
      fix them.

      Reject unwanted output from the platform's
      <function>uuid_create()</function> function (Nazir Bilal Yavuz)
     </para>

     <para>
      The <application>uuid-ossp</application> module expects
      libc's <function>uuid_create()</function> to produce a version-1
      UUID, but recent NetBSD releases produce a version-4 (random) UUID
      instead.  Check for that, and complain if so.  Drop the
      documentation's claim that the NetBSD implementation is usable
      for <application>uuid-ossp</application>.
      (If a version-4 UUID is okay for your purposes, you don't
      need <application>uuid-ossp</application> at all; just
      use <function>gen_random_uuid()</function>.)

      Also, the Europe/Kiev zone has been renamed to Europe/Kyiv.
      Also, the following zones have been merged into nearby,
      more-populous zones whose clocks have agreed with them since 1970:
      Antarctica/Vostok, Asia/Brunei,
      Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, Atlantic/Reykjavik, Europe/Amsterdam,
      Europe/Copenhagen, Europe/Luxembourg, Europe/Monaco, Europe/Oslo,
      Europe/Stockholm, Indian/Christmas, Indian/Cocos, Indian/Kerguelen,
      Indian/Mahe, Indian/Reunion, Pacific/Chuuk, Pacific/Funafuti,
      Pacific/Majuro, Pacific/Pohnpei, Pacific/Wake and Pacific/Wallis.
      (This indirectly affects zones that were already links to one of
      these: Arctic/Longyearbyen, Atlantic/Jan_Mayen, Iceland,
      Pacific/Ponape, Pacific/Truk, and Pacific/Yap.)  America/Nipigon,
      America/Rainy_River, America/Thunder_Bay, Europe/Uzhgorod, and
      Europe/Zaporozhye were also merged into nearby zones after
      discovering that their claimed post-1970 differences from those
      zones seem to have been errors.
      In all these cases, the previous zone name remains as an alias;
      but the actual data is that of the zone that was merged into.
     </para>

     <para>
      These zone mergers result in loss of pre-1970 timezone history for
      the merged zones, which may be troublesome for applications
      expecting consistency of <type>timestamptz</type> display.  As an
      example, the stored value <literal>1944-06-01 12:00 UTC</literal>
      would previously display as <literal>1944-06-01
      13:00:00+01</literal> if the Europe/Stockholm zone is selected, but
      now it will read out as <literal>1944-06-01 14:00:00+02</literal>.
     </para>

     <para>
      It is possible to build the time zone data files with options that
      will restore the older zone data, but that choice also inserts a lot
      of other old (and typically poorly-attested) zone data, resulting in
      more total changes from the previous release than accepting these
      upstream changes does.  <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> has
      chosen to ship the <productname>tzdb</productname> data
      as-recommended, and so far as we are aware most major operating
      system distributions are doing likewise.  However, if these changes
      cause significant problems for your application, a possible solution
      is to install a local build of the time zone data files using
      <productname>tzdb</productname>'s backwards-compatibility options
      (see their <literal>PACKRATDATA</literal>
      and <literal>PACKRATLIST</literal> options).

      Do not let extension scripts replace objects not already belonging
      to the extension (Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      This change prevents extension scripts from doing <command>CREATE
      OR REPLACE</command> if there is an existing object that does not
      belong to the extension.  It also prevents <command>CREATE IF NOT
      EXISTS</command> 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.

      Fix replay of <command>CREATE DATABASE</command> WAL
      records on standby servers
      (Kyotaro Horiguchi, Asim R Praveen, Paul Guo)
     </para>

     <para>
      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.

      Support <quote>in place</quote> tablespaces
      (Thomas Munro, Michael Paquier, &Aacute;lvaro Herrera)
     </para>

     <para>
      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 <command>CREATE
      DATABASE</command> replay fix, which transiently creates a missing
      tablespace as an <quote>in place</quote> tablespace.

      In extended query protocol, force an immediate commit
      after <command>CREATE DATABASE</command> and other commands that
      can't run in a transaction block (Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      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.

     <para>
      Cases with more than about 1600 columns are unsupported, and
      have always failed at execution.  However, it emerges that some
      earlier code could be driven to assertion failures or crashes by
      queries with more than 32K columns.  Add a parse-time check to

     <para>
      Arrange to clean up after commit-time errors
      within <function>SPI_commit()</function>, rather than expecting
      callers to do that (Peter Eisentraut, Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      Proper cleanup is complicated and requires use of low-level
      facilities, so it's not surprising that no known caller got it
      right.  This led to misbehaviors when a PL procedure
      issued <command>COMMIT</command> but a failure occurred (such as a
      deferred constraint check).  To improve matters,
      redefine <function>SPI_commit()</function> as starting a new
      transaction, so that it becomes equivalent
      to <function>SPI_commit_and_chain()</function> except that you get
      default transaction characteristics instead of preserving the prior
      transaction's characteristics.  To make this somewhat transparent
      API-wise, redefine <function>SPI_start_transaction()</function> as a
      no-op.  All known callers of <function>SPI_commit()</function>
      immediately call <function>SPI_start_transaction()</function>, so
      they will not notice any change.  Similar remarks apply
      to <function>SPI_rollback()</function>.
     </para>

     <para>
      Also fix PL/Python, which omitted any handling of such errors at all,
      resulting in jumping out of the Python interpreter.  This is
      reported to crash Python 3.11.  Older Python releases leak some
      memory but seem okay with it otherwise.

     <para>
      Allocate a C locale object once per process when first connecting,
      rather than creating and freeing locale objects once per query.
      This mitigates a libc memory leak on AIX, and may offer some
      performance benefit everywhere.

      Fix <application>pg_upgrade</application> to detect non-upgradable
      usages of functions taking <type>anyarray</type> (Justin Pryzby)
     </para>

     <para>
      Version 14 changed some built-in functions to take
      type <type>anycompatiblearray</type> instead
      of <type>anyarray</type>.  While this is mostly transparent,
      user-defined aggregates and operators built atop these functions
      have to be declared with exactly matching types.  The presence of an
      object referencing the old signature will
      cause <application>pg_upgrade</application> to fail, so change it to
      detect and report such cases before beginning the upgrade.

      If a large transaction on the primary server sends no data to the

      In the previous minor releases, we copied the server's permission
      checking rules for SSL private key files into libpq.  But we should
      not have also copied the server's file-ownership check.  While that
      works in normal use-cases, it can result in an unexpected failure
      for clients running as root, and perhaps in other cases.

      Fix default signature length for <literal>gist_ltree_ops</literal>
      indexes (Tomas Vondra, Alexander Korotkov)
     </para>

     <para>
      The default signature length (hash size) for GiST indexes
      on <type>ltree</type> columns was accidentally changed while
      upgrading that operator class to support operator class parameters.
      If any operations had been done on such an index without first
      upgrading the <literal>ltree</literal> extension to version 1.2,
      they were done assuming that the signature length was 28 bytes
      rather than the intended 8.  This means it is very likely that such
      indexes are now corrupt.  For safety we recommend re-indexing all
      GiST indexes on <type>ltree</type> columns after installing this
      update.  (Note that GiST indexes on <type>ltree[]</type>
      columns, that is arrays of <type>ltree</type>, are not affected.)

      Stop using query-provided column aliases for the columns of
      whole-row variables that refer to plain tables (Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      The column names in tuples produced by a whole-row variable (such
      as <literal>tbl.*</literal> in contexts other than the top level of
      a <literal>SELECT</literal> list) are now always those of the
      associated named composite type, if there is one.  We'd previously
      attempted to make them track any column aliases that had been
      applied to the <literal>FROM</literal> entry the variable refers to.
      But that's semantically dubious, because really then the output of
      the variable is not at all of the composite type it claims to be.
      Previous attempts to deal with that inconsistency had bad results up
      to and including storing unreadable data on disk, so just give up on
      the whole idea.
     </para>

     <para>
      In cases where it's important to be able to relabel such columns,
      a workaround is to introduce an extra level of
      sub-<literal>SELECT</literal>, so that the whole-row variable is
      referring to the sub-<literal>SELECT</literal>'s output and not to a
      plain table.  Then the variable is of type <type>record</type>
      to begin with and there's no issue.

      If we run out of space in the checkpointer sync request queue (which
      is hopefully rare on real systems, but is common when testing with a
      very small buffer pool), we wait for it to drain.  While waiting, we
      should report that as a wait event so that users know what is going
      on, and also watch for postmaster death, since otherwise the loop might
      never terminate if the checkpointer has already exited.

      Make the server more robust against missed timer interrupts (Michael

     <para>
      An optimization added in v14 meant that if a server process somehow
      missed a timer interrupt, it would never again ask the kernel for
      another one, thus breaking timeout detection for the remainder of the
      session.  This seems unduly fragile, so add a recovery path.

      Disallow execution of SPI functions during PL/Perl function
      compilation (Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      Perl can be convinced to execute user-defined code during compilation
      of a PL/Perl function.  However, it's not okay for such code to try
      to invoke SQL operations via SPI.  That results in a crash, and if
      it didn't crash it would be a security hazard, because we really
      don't want code execution during function validation.  Put in a
      check to give a friendlier error message instead.

      Fix behavior of <application>libpq</application>'s
      <function>PQisBusy()</function> function after a connection failure
      (Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      If we'd detected a write failure, <function>PQisBusy()</function>
      would always return true, which is the wrong thing: we want input
      processing to carry on normally until we've read whatever is
      available from the server.  The practical effect of this error is
      that applications using <application>libpq</application>'s
      async-query API would typically detect connection loss only
      when <function>PQconsumeInput()</function> returns a hard failure.
      With this fix, a connection loss will normally be reported via an
      error <structname>PGresult</structname> object, which is a much
      cleaner behavior for most applications.

      Such a trigger might query the table it's on and expect to see
      previously-inserted rows.  With batch insertion, those rows might
      not be visible yet, so disable the feature to avoid unexpected

      Prevent extra expansion of shell wildcard patterns in programs built

      For some reason the C library provided by MinGW will expand shell
      wildcard characters in a program's command-line arguments by
      default.  This is confusing, not least because it doesn't happen
      under MSVC, so turn it off.

      Enforce standard locking protocol for TOAST table updates, to prevent
      problems with <command>REINDEX CONCURRENTLY</command> (Michael Paquier)
     </para>

     <para>
      If applied to a TOAST table or TOAST table's index, <command>REINDEX
      CONCURRENTLY</command> tended to produce a corrupted index.  This
      happened because sessions updating TOAST entries released
      their <literal>ROW EXCLUSIVE</literal> locks immediately, rather
      than holding them until transaction commit as all other updates do.
      The fix is to make TOAST updates hold the table lock according to the
      normal rule.  Any existing corrupted indexes can be repaired by
      reindexing again.

     <para>
      Fix corruption of HOT chains when a RECENTLY_DEAD tuple changes
      state to fully DEAD during page pruning (Andres Freund)
     </para>

     <para>
      It was possible for <command>VACUUM</command> to remove a
      recently-dead tuple while leaving behind a redirect item that
      pointed to it.  When the tuple's item slot is later re-used by
      some new tuple, that tuple would be seen as part of the
      pre-existing HOT chain, creating a form of index corruption.
      If this has happened, reindexing the table should repair the
      damage.  However, this is an extremely low-probability scenario,
      so we do not recommend reindexing just on the chance that it might
      have happened.

      Fix index-only scan plans for cases where not all index columns can
      be returned (Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      If an index has both returnable and non-returnable columns, and one
      of the non-returnable columns is an expression using a table column
      that appears in a returnable index column, then a query using that
      expression could result in an index-only scan plan that attempts to
      read the non-returnable column, instead of recomputing the
      expression from the returnable column as intended.  The
      non-returnable column would read as NULL, resulting in wrong query
      results.

      In some cases the parser would think that a function or operator
      with <type>anycompatible</type>-family polymorphic parameters
      matches a set of arguments that it really shouldn't match.  In
      reported cases, that led to matching more than one operator to a

      is also possible.

      Build extended statistics for partitioned tables (Justin Pryzby)
     </para>

     <para>
      A previous bug fix disabled building of extended statistics for
      old-style inheritance trees, but it also prevented building them for
      partitioned tables, which was an unnecessary restriction.
      This change allows <command>ANALYZE</command> to compute values for
      statistics objects for partitioned tables.  (But note that
      autovacuum does not process partitioned tables as such, so you must
      periodically issue manual <command>ANALYZE</command> on the
      partitioned table if you want to maintain such statistics.)

     </para>

     <para>
      Index-only scans returned column values with trailing spaces
      removed, which is not the expected behavior.  That happened because
      that's how the data was stored in the index.  This fix changes the
      code to store <type>char(<replaceable>N</replaceable>)</type> values
      with the expected amount of space padding.
      The behavior of such an index will not change immediately unless
      you <command>REINDEX</command> it; otherwise space-stripped values
      will be gradually replaced over time during updates.  Queries that
      do not use index-only scan plans will be unaffected in any case.

      Make the server reject extraneous data after an SSL or GSS

     <para>
      A man-in-the-middle with the ability to inject data into the TCP
      connection could stuff some cleartext data into the start of a
      supposedly encryption-protected database session.
      This could be abused to send faked SQL commands to the server,
      although that would only work if the server did not demand any
      authentication data.  (However, a server relying on SSL certificate
      authentication might well not do so.)

      A man-in-the-middle with the ability to inject data into the TCP
      connection could stuff some cleartext data into the start of a
      supposedly encryption-protected database session.
      This could probably be abused to inject faked responses to the
      client's first few queries, although other details of libpq's
      behavior make that harder than it sounds.  A different line of
      attack is to exfiltrate the client's password, or other sensitive
      data that might be sent early in the session.  That has been shown
      to be possible with a server vulnerable to CVE-2021-23214.

      Fix physical replication for cases where the primary crashes
      after shipping a WAL segment that ends with a partial WAL record
      (&Aacute;lvaro Herrera)
     </para>

     <para>
      If the primary did not survive long enough to finish writing the
      rest of the incomplete WAL record, then the previous crash-recovery
      logic had it back up and overwrite WAL starting from the beginning
      of the incomplete WAL record.  This is problematic since standby
      servers may already have copies of that WAL segment.  They will then
      see an inconsistent next segment, and will not be able to recover
      without manual intervention.  To fix, do not back up over a WAL
      segment boundary when restarting after a crash.  Instead write a new
      type of WAL record at the start of the next WAL segment, informing
      readers that the incomplete WAL record will never be finished and
      must be disregarded.
     </para>

     <para>
      When applying this update, it's best to update standby servers
      before the primary, so that they will be ready to handle this new
      WAL record type if the primary happens to crash.

      Ensure that parallel <command>VACUUM</command> doesn't miss any
      indexes (Peter Geoghegan, Masahiko Sawada)
     </para>

     <para>
      A parallel <command>VACUUM</command> would fail to process indexes
      that are below the <varname>min_parallel_index_scan_size</varname>
      cutoff, if the table also has at least two indexes that are above
      that size.  This could result in those indexes becoming corrupt,
      since they'd still contain references to any heap entries removed by
      the <command>VACUUM</command>; subsequent queries using such indexes
      would be likely to return rows they shouldn't.
      This problem does not affect autovacuum, since it doesn't use
      parallel vacuuming.  However, it is advisable to reindex any
      manually-vacuumed tables that have the right mix of index sizes.

      Fix <command>CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY</command> to wait for

     </para>

     <para>
      Rows inserted by just-prepared transactions might be omitted from
      the new index, causing queries relying on the index to miss such
      rows.  The previous fix for this type of problem failed to account
      for <command>PREPARE TRANSACTION</command> commands that were still

      checked for them.  As before, in installations that have enabled

      in case this problem occurred when they were built.

      Disallow the combination of <literal>FETCH FIRST WITH TIES</literal>

     <para>
      <literal>FETCH FIRST WITH TIES</literal> necessarily fetches one
      more row than requested, since it cannot stop until it finds a row
      that is not a tie.  In our current implementation,
      if <literal>FOR UPDATE</literal> is used then that row will also get
      locked even though it is not returned.  That results in undesirable
      behavior if the <literal>SKIP LOCKED</literal> option is specified.
      It's difficult to change this without introducing a different set of
      undesirable behaviors, so for now, forbid the combination.

      Avoid O(N^2) behavior in some list-manipulation operations
      (Nathan Bossart, Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      These changes fix slow processing in several scenarios, including:
      when a standby replays a transaction that held many exclusive locks
      on the primary; when many files are due to be unlinked after a
      checkpoint; when hash aggregation involves many batches; and when
      <filename>pg_trgm</filename> extracts indexable conditions from a
      complex regular expression.  Only the first of these scenarios has
      actually been reported from the field, but they all seem like
      plausible consequences of inefficient list deletions.

      This oversight was usually pretty harmless, since
      once <application>pg_dump</application> has locked any of the leaf
      partitions, that would suffice to prevent significant DDL on the
      partitioned table itself.  However problems could ensue when dumping
      a childless partitioned table, since no relevant lock would be held.

      the IANA time zone matching the system's prevailing time zone.
      We were using a mapping table that we'd generated years ago and
      updated only fitfully; unsurprisingly, it contained a number of
      errors as well as omissions of recently-added zones.  It turns out
      that CLDR has been tracking the most appropriate mappings, so start
      using their data.  This change will not affect any existing
      installation, only newly-initialized clusters.
