><P
> A dump/restore is not required for those running 7.4.X. However,
it is one possible way of handling two significant security problems
that have been found in the initial contents of 7.4.X system
catalogs. A dump/initdb/reload sequence using 7.4.8's initdb will
automatically correct these problems.
</P
><P
> The larger security problem is that the built-in character set encoding
conversion functions can be invoked from SQL commands by unprivileged
users, but the functions were not designed for such use and are not
secure against malicious choices of arguments. The fix involves changing
the declared parameter list of these functions so that they can no longer
be invoked from SQL commands. (This does not affect their normal use
by the encoding conversion machinery.)
</P
><P
> The lesser problem is that the <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>contrib/tsearch2</TT
> module
creates several functions that are misdeclared to return
<TT
CLASS="TYPE"
>internal</TT
> when they do not accept <TT
CLASS="TYPE"
>internal</TT
> arguments.
This breaks type safety for all functions using <TT
CLASS="TYPE"
>internal</TT
>
arguments.
</P
><P
> It is strongly recommended that all installations repair these errors,
either by initdb or by following the manual repair procedures given
below. The errors at least allow unprivileged database users to crash
their server process, and might allow unprivileged users to gain the
privileges of a database superuser.
</P
><P
> If you wish not to do an initdb, perform the following procedures instead.
As the database superuser, do:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>BEGIN;
UPDATE pg_proc SET proargtypes[3] = 'internal'::regtype
WHERE pronamespace = 11 AND pronargs = 5
AND proargtypes[2] = 'cstring'::regtype;
-- The command should report having updated 90 rows;
-- if not, rollback and investigate instead of committing!
COMMIT;</PRE
><P>
Next, if you have installed <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>contrib/tsearch2</TT
>, do:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>BEGIN;
UPDATE pg_proc SET proargtypes[0] = 'internal'::regtype
WHERE oid IN (
'dex_init(text)'::regprocedure,
'snb_en_init(text)'::regprocedure,
'snb_ru_init(text)'::regprocedure,
'spell_init(text)'::regprocedure,
'syn_init(text)'::regprocedure
);
-- The command should report having updated 5 rows;
-- if not, rollback and investigate instead of committing!
COMMIT;</PRE
><P>
If this command fails with a message like <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"function
"dex_init(text)" does not exist"</SPAN
>, then either <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>tsearch2</TT
>
is not installed in this database, or you already did the update.
</P
><P
> The above procedures must be carried out in <SPAN

CLASS="LITERAL"
>template1</TT
>, and ideally
including <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>template0</TT
> as well. If you do not fix the
template databases then any subsequently created databases will contain
the same errors. <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>template1</TT
> can be fixed in the same way
as any other database, but fixing <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>template0</TT
> requires
additional steps. First, from any database issue:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>UPDATE pg_database SET datallowconn = true WHERE datname = 'template0';</PRE
><P>
Next connect to <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>template0</TT
> and perform the above repair
procedures. Finally, do:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>-- re-freeze template0:
VACUUM FREEZE;
-- and protect it against future alterations:
UPDATE pg_database SET datallowconn = false WHERE datname = 'template0';</PRE
