If you have any GiST indexes on columns using the ltree data type, you
will need to reindex them after upgrading.

For the full list of changes, please review the release notes.

It also fixes a security issue, CVE-2022-1552:

Autovacuum, REINDEX, and others omit "security restricted operation" sandbox.

Versions Affected: 10 - 14. The security team typically does not test
unsupported versions, but this problem is quite old.

Autovacuum, REINDEX, CREATE INDEX, REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW, CLUSTER,
and pg_amcheck made incomplete efforts to operate safely when a
privileged user is maintaining another user's objects. Those commands
activated relevant protections too late or not at all. An attacker
having permission to create non-temp objects in at least one schema
could execute arbitrary SQL functions under a superuser identity.

While promptly updating PostgreSQL is the best remediation for most
users, a user unable to do that can work around the vulnerability by
disabling autovacuum, not manually running the above commands, and not
restoring from output of the pg_dump command. Performance may degrade
quickly under this workaround. VACUUM is safe, and all commands are fine
when a trusted user owns the target object.

This release contains a variety of fixes from the previous version.

A dump/restore is not required for those running the same major version.
However, note that installations using physical replication should
update standby servers before the primary server, as explained in the
release notes.

Also, several bugs have been found that may have resulted in corrupted

Security Issues
---------------

* CVE-2020-14349: Uncontrolled search path element in logical replication.

Versions Affected: 10 - 12.

The PostgreSQL `search_path` setting determines schemas searched for
tables, functions, operators, etc. The CVE-2018-1058 fix caused most
PostgreSQL-provided client applications to sanitize `search_path`, but
logical replication continued to leave `search_path` unchanged. Users of
a replication publisher or subscriber database can create objects in the
`public` schema and harness them to execute arbitrary SQL functions
under the identity running replication, often a superuser. Installations
having adopted a documented secure schema usage pattern are not vulnerable.

The PostgreSQL project thanks Noah Misch for reporting this problem.

* CVE-2020-14350: Uncontrolled search path element in `CREATE EXTENSION`.

Versions Affected: 9.5 - 12. The security team typically does not test
unsupported versions, but this problem is quite old.

When a superuser runs certain `CREATE EXTENSION` statements, users may
be able to execute arbitrary SQL functions under the identity of that
superuser. The attacker must have permission to create objects in the
new extension's schema or a schema of a prerequisite extension.  Not all
extensions are vulnerable.

In addition to correcting the extensions provided with PostgreSQL, the
PostgreSQL Global Development Group is issuing guidance for third-party
extension authors to secure their own work.

The PostgreSQL project thanks Andres Freund for reporting this problem.

versioning policy for more information.

Security Issues

* CVE-2020-1720: `ALTER ... DEPENDS ON EXTENSION` is missing
authorization checks.

Versions Affected: 9.6 - 12

The `ALTER ... DEPENDS ON EXTENSION` sub-commands do not perform
authorization checks, which can allow an unprivileged user to  drop any
function, procedure, materialized view, index, or trigger under certain
conditions. This attack is possible if an administrator has installed an
extension and an unprivileged user can `CREATE`, or an extension owner
either executes `DROP EXTENSION` predictably or can be convinced to
execute `DROP EXTENSION`.

This release fixes two security issues in the PostgreSQL server, two
security issues found in one of the PostgreSQL Windows installers, and
over 40 bugs reported since the previous release.

Users should install these updates as soon as possible.

A Note on the PostgreSQL 12 Beta
================================

In the spirit of the open source PostgreSQL community, we strongly
encourage you to test the new features of PostgreSQL 12 in your database
systems to help us eliminate any bugs or other issues that may exist.
While we do not advise you to run PostgreSQL 12 Beta 3 in your
production environments, we encourage you to find ways to run your
typical application workloads against this beta release.

Your testing and feedback will help the community ensure that the
PostgreSQL 12 release upholds our standards of providing a stable,
reliable release of the world's most advanced open source relational
database.

Security Issues
===============

Two security vulnerabilities have been closed by this release:

* CVE-2019-10208: `TYPE` in `pg_temp` executes arbitrary SQL during
`SECURITY DEFINER` execution

Versions Affected: 9.4 - 11

Given a suitable `SECURITY DEFINER` function, an attacker can execute
arbitrary SQL under the identity of the function owner.  An attack
requires `EXECUTE` permission on the function, which must itself contain
a function call having inexact argument type match.  For example,
`length('foo'::varchar)` and `length('foo')` are inexact, while
`length('foo'::text)` is exact.  As part of exploiting this
vulnerability, the attacker uses `CREATE DOMAIN` to create a type in a
`pg_temp` schema. The attack pattern and fix are similar to that for
CVE-2007-2138.

Writing `SECURITY DEFINER` functions continues to require following the
considerations noted in the documentation:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/sql-createfunction.html#SQL-CREATEFUNCTION-SECURITY

The PostgreSQL project thanks Tom Lane for reporting this problem.

* CVE-2019-10209: Memory disclosure in cross-type comparison for hashed
subplan

Versions Affected: 11

In a database containing hypothetical, user-defined hash equality operators, an
attacker could read arbitrary bytes of server memory. For an attack to become
possible, a superuser would need to create unusual operators. It is possible for
operators not purpose-crafted for attack to have the properties that enable an
attack, but we are not aware of specific examples.

The PostgreSQL project thanks Andreas Seltenreich for reporting this problem.

Security:	CVE-2019-10129: Memory disclosure in partition routing

Prior to this release, a user running PostgreSQL 11 can read arbitrary
bytes of server memory by executing a purpose-crafted INSERT statement
to a partitioned table.

Security:	CVE-2019-10130: Selectivity estimators bypass row security policies

PostgreSQL maintains statistics for tables by sampling data available in
columns; this data is consulted during the query planning process. Prior
to this release, a user able to execute SQL queries with permissions to
read a given column could craft a leaky operator that could read
whatever data had been sampled from that column.  If this happened to
include values from rows that the user is forbidden to see by a row
security policy, the user could effectively bypass the policy.  This is
fixed by only allowing a non-leakproof operator to use this data if
there are no relevant row security policies for the table.

This issue is present in PostgreSQL 9.5, 9.6, 10, and 11. The PostgreSQL
project thanks Dean Rasheed for reporting this problem.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all
supported versions of our database system, including 11.2, 10.7, 9.6.12,
9.5.16, and 9.4.21. This release changes the behavior in how PostgreSQL
interfaces with `fsync()` and includes fixes for partitioning and over
70 other bugs that were reported over the past three months.

Users should plan to apply this update at the next scheduled downtime.

FreeBSD port adds OPTIONS knob to support LLVM JIT. [1]

Highlight: Change in behavior with fsync()
------------------------------------------

When available in an operating system and enabled in the configuration
file (which it is by default), PostgreSQL uses the kernel function
`fsync()` to help ensure that data is written to a disk. In some
operating systems that provide `fsync()`, when the kernel is unable to
write out the data, it returns a failure and flushes the data that was
supposed to be written from its data buffers.

This flushing operation has an unfortunate side-effect for PostgreSQL:
if PostgreSQL tries again to write the data to disk by again calling
`fsync()`, `fsync()` will report back that it succeeded, but the data
that PostgreSQL believed to be saved to the disk would not actually be
written. This presents a possible data corruption scenario.

This update modifies how PostgreSQL handles a `fsync()` failure:
PostgreSQL will no longer retry calling `fsync()` but instead will
panic. In this case, PostgreSQL can then replay the data from the
write-ahead log (WAL) to help ensure the data is written. While this may
appear to be a suboptimal solution, there are presently few alternatives
and, based on reports, the problem case occurs extremely rarely.

A new server parameter `data_sync_retry` has been added to manage this
behavior. If you are certain that your kernel does not discard dirty
data buffers in such scenarios, you can set `data_sync_retry` to `on` to
restore the old behavior.

versions of our database system, including 10.2, 9.6.7, 9.5.11, 9.4.16, 9.3.21.
This release fixes two security issues. This release also fixes issues with
VACUUM, GIN indexes, and hash indexes that could lead to data corruption, as
well as fixes for using parallel queries and logical replication.

All users using the affected versions of PostgreSQL should update as soon as
possible. Please see the notes on "Updating" below for any post-update steps
that may be required.

Please note that PostgreSQL changed its versioning scheme with the release of
version 10.0, so updating to version 10.2 from 10.0 or 10.1 is considered a
minor update.

Security Issues
---------------

Two security vulnerabilities have been fixed by this release:

* CVE-2018-1052: Fix the processing of partition keys containing multiple
expressions
* CVE-2018-1053: Ensure that all temporary files made with "pg_upgrade" are
non-world-readable

Local fixes to the FreeBSD ports
--------------------------------

Inform users about data checksums [1].
Make sure /usr/bin/su is used regardless of PATH settings [2].
Enable DTRACE by default [3].
