* Improve LDAP cleanup code in error paths.Peter Eisentraut2017-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After calling ldap_unbind_s() we probably shouldn't try to use the LDAP connection again to call ldap_get_option(), even if it failed. The OpenLDAP man page for ldap_unbind[_s] says "Once it is called, the connection to the LDAP server is closed, and the ld structure is invalid." Otherwise, as a general rule we should probably call ldap_unbind() before returning in all paths to avoid leaking resources. It is unlikely there is any practical leak problem since failure to authenticate currently results in the backend exiting soon afterwards.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All postgres internal usages are replaced, it's just libpq example usages that haven't been converted. External users of libpq can't generally rely on including postgres internal headers. Note that this includes replacing open-coded byte swapping of 64bit integers (using two 32 bit swaps) with a single 64bit swap. Where it looked applicable, I have removed netinet/in.h and arpa/inet.h usage, which previously provided the relevant functionality. It's perfectly possible that I missed other reasons for including those, the buildfarm will tell.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 83aaac41c66959a3ebaec7daadc4885b5f98f561 introduced the use of LDAP_NO_ATTRS to avoid requesting a dummy attribute when doing search+bind LDAP authentication.

* Don't allow logging in with empty password.Heikki Linnakangas2017-08-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some authentication methods allowed it, others did not. In the client-side, libpq does not even try to authenticate with an empty password, which makes using empty passwords hazardous: an administrator might think that an account with an empty password cannot be used to log in, because psql doesn't allow it, and not realize that a different client would in fact allow it. To clear that confusion and to be be consistent, disallow empty passwords in all authentication methods. All the authentication methods that used plaintext authentication over the wire, except for BSD authentication, already checked that the password received from the user was not empty. To avoid forgetting it in the future again, move the check to the recv_password_packet function. That only forbids using an empty password with plaintext authentication, however. MD5 and SCRAM need a different fix: * In stable branches, check that the MD5 hash stored for the user does not not correspond to an empty string. This adds some overhead to MD5 authentication, because the server needs to compute an extra MD5 hash, but it is not noticeable in practice. * In HEAD, modify CREATE and ALTER ROLE to clear the password if an empty string, or a password hash that corresponds to an empty string, is specified. The user-visible behavior is the same as in the stable branches, the user cannot log in, but it seems better to stop the empty password from entering the system in the first place. Secondly, it is fairly expensive to check that a SCRAM hash doesn't correspond to an empty string, because computing a SCRAM hash is much more expensive than an MD5 hash by design, so better avoid doing that on every authentication. We could clear the password on CREATE/ALTER ROLE also in stable branches, but we would still need to check at authentication time, because even if we prevent empty passwords from being stored in pg_authid, there might be existing ones there already.

* Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Initial pgindent run with pg_bsd_indent version 2.0.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak. The main changes visible in this commit are: * Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations. * No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts, sizeof, or offsetof. * No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers. * Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely. * Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed with no space separating them from the code. * Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels. * Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less than the expected column 33. On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in indent itself. There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the changes as much as practical.

* Improve authentication error messages.Heikki Linnakangas2017-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of the improvements were in the new SCRAM code: * In SCRAM protocol violation messages, use errdetail to provide the details. * If pg_backend_random() fails, throw an ERROR rather than just LOG. We shouldn't continue authentication if we can't generate a random nonce. * Use ereport() rather than elog() for the "invalid SCRAM verifier" messages. They shouldn't happen, if everything works, but it's not inconceivable that someone would have invalid scram verifiers in pg_authid, e.g. if a broken client application was used to generate the verifier. But this change applied to old code: * Use ERROR rather than COMMERROR for protocol violation errors. There's no reason to not tell the client what they did wrong. The client might be confused already, so that it cannot read and display the error correctly, but let's at least try. In the "invalid password packet size" case, we used to actually continue with authentication anyway, but that is now a hard error. Patch by Michael Paquier and me. Thanks to Daniel Varrazzo for spotting the typo in one of the messages that spurred the discussion and these larger changes.

* Remove support for password_encryption='off' / 'plain'.Heikki Linnakangas2017-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Storing passwords in plaintext hasn't been a good idea for a very long time, if ever. Now seems like a good time to finally forbid it, since we're messing with this in PostgreSQL 10 anyway. Remove the CREATE/ALTER USER UNENCRYPTED PASSSWORD 'foo' syntax, since storing passwords unencrypted is no longer supported. ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'foo' is still accepted, but ENCRYPTED is now just a noise-word, it does the same as just PASSWORD 'foo'. Likewise, remove the --unencrypted option from createuser, but accept --encrypted as a no-op for backward compatibility. AFAICS, --encrypted was a no-op even before this patch, because createuser encrypted the password before sending it to the server even if --encrypted was not specified. It added the ENCRYPTED keyword to the SQL command, but since the password was already in encrypted form, it didn't make any difference. The documentation was not clear on whether that was intended or not, but it's moot now. Also, while password_encryption='on' is still accepted as an alias for 'md5', it is now marked as hidden, so that it is not listed as an accepted value in error hints, for example. That's not directly related to removing 'plain', but it seems better this way.

* Rename "scram" to "scram-sha-256" in pg_hba.conf and password_encryption.Heikki Linnakangas2017-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Per discussion, plain "scram" is confusing because we actually implement SCRAM-SHA-256 rather than the original SCRAM that uses SHA-1 as the hash algorithm. If we add support for SCRAM-SHA-512 or some other mechanism in the SCRAM family in the future, that would become even more confusing. Most of the internal files and functions still use just "scram" as a shorthand for SCRMA-SHA-256, but I did change PASSWORD_TYPE_SCRAM to PASSWORD_TYPE_SCRAM_SHA_256, as that could potentially be used by 3rd party extensions that hook into the password-check hook. Michael Paquier did this in an earlier version of the SCRAM patch set already, but I didn't include that in the version that was committed.

* Improve the SASL authentication protocol.Heikki Linnakangas2017-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This contains some protocol changes to SASL authentiation (which is new in v10): * For future-proofing, in the AuthenticationSASL message that begins SASL authentication, provide a list of SASL mechanisms that the server supports, for the client to choose from. Currently, it's always just SCRAM-SHA-256. * Add a separate authentication message type for the final server->client SASL message, which the client doesn't need to respond to. This makes it unambiguous whether the client is supposed to send a response or not. The SASL mechanism should know that anyway, but better to be explicit. Also, in the server, support clients that don't send an Initial Client response in the first SASLInitialResponse message. The server is supposed to first send an empty request in that case, to which the client will respond with the data that usually comes in the Initial Client Response. libpq uses the Initial Client Response field and doesn't need this, and I would assume any other sensible implementation to use Initial Client Response, too, but let's follow the SASL spec. Improve the documentation on SASL authentication in protocol. Add a section describing the SASL message flow, and some details on our SCRAM-SHA-256 implementation. Document the different kinds of PasswordMessages that the frontend sends in different phases of SASL authentication, as well as GSS/SSPI authentication as separate message formats. Even though they're all 'p' messages, and the exact format depends on the context, describing them as separate message formats makes the documentation more clear.

* Fix unportable disregard of alignment requirements in RADIUS code.Tom Lane2017-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The compiler is entitled to store a char[] local variable with no particular alignment requirement. Our RADIUS code cavalierly took such a local variable and cast its address to a struct type that does have alignment requirements. On an alignment-picky machine this would lead to bus errors. To fix, declare the local variable honestly, and then cast its address to char * for use in the I/O calls. Given the lack of field complaints, there must be very few if any people affected; but nonetheless this is a clear portability issue, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Allow SCRAM authentication, when pg_hba.conf says 'md5'.Heikki Linnakangas2017-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a user has a SCRAM verifier in pg_authid.rolpassword, there's no reason we cannot attempt to perform SCRAM authentication instead of MD5. The worst that can happen is that the client doesn't support SCRAM, and the authentication will fail. But previously, it would fail for sure, because we would not even try. SCRAM is strictly more secure than MD5, so there's no harm in trying it. This allows for a more graceful transition from MD5 passwords to SCRAM, as user passwords can be changed to SCRAM verifiers incrementally, without changing pg_hba.conf. Refactor the code in auth.c to support that better. Notably, we now have to look up the user's pg_authid entry before sending the password challenge, also when performing MD5 authentication. Also simplify the concept of a "doomed" authentication. Previously, if a user had a password, but it had expired, we still performed SCRAM authentication (but always returned error at the end) using the salt and iteration count from the expired password. Now we construct a fake salt, like we do when the user doesn't have a password or doesn't exist at all. That simplifies get_role_password(), and we can don't need to distinguish the "user has expired password", and "user does not exist" cases in auth.c. On second thoughts, also rename uaSASL to uaSCRAM. It refers to the mechanism specified in pg_hba.conf, and while we use SASL for SCRAM authentication at the protocol level, the mechanism should be called SCRAM, not SASL. As a comparison, we have uaLDAP, even though it looks like the plain 'password' authentication at the protocol level.

* Support SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication (RFC 5802 and 7677).Heikki Linnakangas2017-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces a new generic SASL authentication method, similar to the GSS and SSPI methods. The server first tells the client which SASL authentication mechanism to use, and then the mechanism-specific SASL messages are exchanged in AuthenticationSASLcontinue and PasswordMessage messages. Only SCRAM-SHA-256 is supported at the moment, but this allows adding more SASL mechanisms in the future, without changing the overall protocol. Support for channel binding, aka SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS is left for later. The SASLPrep algorithm, for pre-processing the password, is not yet implemented. That could cause trouble, if you use a password with non-ASCII characters, and a client library that does implement SASLprep. That will hopefully be added later. Authorization identities, as specified in the SCRAM-SHA-256 specification, are ignored. SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION provides more or less the same functionality, anyway. If a user doesn't exist, perform a "mock" authentication, by constructing an authentic-looking challenge on the fly. The challenge is derived from a new system-wide random value, "mock authentication nonce", which is created at initdb, and stored in the control file. We go through these motions, in order to not give away the information on whether the user exists, to unauthenticated users. Bumps PG_CONTROL_VERSION, because of the new field in control file.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is no longer necessary to restart the server to enable, disable, or reconfigure SSL. Instead, we just create a new SSL_CTX struct (by re-reading all relevant files) whenever we get SIGHUP. Testing shows that this is fast enough that it shouldn't be a problem. In conjunction with that, downgrade the logic that complains about pg_hba.conf "hostssl" lines when SSL isn't active: now that's just a warning condition not an error. An issue that still needs to be addressed is what shall we do with passphrase-protected server keys? As this stands, the server would demand the passphrase again on every SIGHUP, which is certainly impractical. But the case was only barely supported before, so that does not seem a sufficient reason to hold up committing this patch.

Also move the check for db_user_namespace inside the function, seems clearer that way. Now that the md5 salt is passed as argument to md5_crypt_verify, it's a bit silly that it peeks into the Port struct to see if MD5 authentication was used. Seems more straightforward to treat it as an MD5 authentication, if the md5 salt argument is given. And after that, md5_crypt_verify only used the Port argument to look at port->user_name, but that is redundant, because it is also passed as a separate 'role' argument. So remove the Port argument altogether.
* Replace PostmasterRandom() with a stronger source, second attempt.Heikki Linnakangas2016-12-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new routine, pg_strong_random() for generating random bytes, for use in both frontend and backend. At the moment, it's only used in the backend, but the upcoming SCRAM authentication patches need strong random numbers in libpq as well. pg_strong_random() is based on, and replaces, the existing implementation in pgcrypto. It can acquire strong random numbers from a number of sources, depending on what's available: - OpenSSL RAND_bytes(), if built with OpenSSL - On Windows, the native cryptographic functions are used - /dev/urandom Unlike the current pgcrypto function, the source is chosen by configure. That makes it easier to test different implementations, and ensures that we don't accidentally fall back to a less secure implementation, if the primary source fails. All of those methods are quite reliable, it would be pretty surprising for them to fail, so we'd rather find out by failing hard. If no strong random source is available, we fall back to using erand48(), seeded from current timestamp, like PostmasterRandom() was. That isn't cryptographically secure, but allows us to still work on platforms that don't have any of the above stronger sources. Because it's not very secure, the built-in implementation is only used if explicitly requested with --disable-strong-random. This replaces the more complicated Fortuna algorithm we used to have in pgcrypto, which is unfortunate, but all modern platforms have /dev/urandom, so it doesn't seem worth the maintenance effort to keep that. pgcrypto functions that require strong random numbers will be disabled with --disable-strong-random.

That was a few bricks shy of a load: * Query cancel stopped working * Buildfarm member pademelon stopped working, because the box doesn't have /dev/urandom nor /dev/random. This clearly needs some more discussion, and a quite different patch, so revert for now.
* Replace PostmasterRandom() with a stronger way of generating randomness.Heikki Linnakangas2016-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new routine, pg_strong_random() for generating random bytes, for use in both frontend and backend. At the moment, it's only used in the backend, but the upcoming SCRAM authentication patches need strong random numbers in libpq as well. pg_strong_random() is based on, and replaces, the existing implementation in pgcrypto. It can acquire strong random numbers from a number of sources, depending on what's available: - OpenSSL RAND_bytes(), if built with OpenSSL - On Windows, the native cryptographic functions are used - /dev/urandom - /dev/random Original patch by Magnus Hagander, with further work by Michael Paquier and me.

* Include <sys/select.h> where neededAlvaro Herrera2016-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | <sys/select.h> is required by POSIX.1-2001 to get the prototype of select(2), but nearly no systems enforce that because older standards let you get away with including some other headers. Recent OpenBSD hacking has removed that frail touch of friendliness, however, which broke some compiles; fix all the way back to 9.1 by adding the required standard. Only vacuumdb.c was reported to fail, but it seems easier to fix the whole lot in a fell swoop. Per bug #14334 by Sean Farrell.
* Move code shared between libpq and backend from backend/libpq/ to common/.Heikki Linnakangas2016-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When building libpq, ip.c and md5.c were symlinked or copied from src/backend/libpq into src/interfaces/libpq, but now that we have a directory specifically for routines that are shared between the server and client binaries, src/common/, move them there. Some routines in ip.c were only used in the backend. Keep those in src/backend/libpq, but rename to ifaddr.c to avoid confusion with the file that's now in common. Fix the comment in src/common/Makefile to reflect how libpq actually links those files. There are two more files that libpq symlinks directly from src/backend: encnames.c and wchar.c. I don't feel compelled to move those right now, though. Patch by Michael Paquier, with some changes by me. Discussion: <69938195-9c76-8523-0af8-eb718ea5b36e@iki.fi>

* Add authentication parameters compat_realm and upn_usename for SSPIMagnus Hagander2016-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These parameters are available for SSPI authentication only, to make it possible to make it behave more like "normal gssapi", while making it possible to maintain compatibility. compat_realm is on by default, but can be turned off to make the authentication use the full Kerberos realm instead of the NetBIOS name. upn_username is off by default, and can be turned on to return the users Kerberos UPN rather than the SAM-compatible name (a user in Active Directory can have both a legacy SAM-compatible username and a new Kerberos one. Normally they are the same, but not always) Author: Christian Ullrich Reviewed by: Robbie Harwood, Alvaro Herrera, me

* Standardize GetTokenInformation() error reporting.Noah Misch2016-04-06
| | | | | | | | | | | Commit c22650cd6450854e1a75064b698d7dcbb4a8821a sparked a discussion about diverse interpretations of "token user" in error messages. Expel old and new specimens of that phrase by making all GetTokenInformation() callers report errors the way GetTokenUser() has been reporting them. These error conditions almost can't happen, so users are unlikely to observe this change. Reviewed by Tom Lane and Stephen Frost.
* Refer to a TOKEN_USER payload as a "token user," not as a "user token".Noah Misch2016-04-01

* Avoid possibly-unsafe use of Windows' FormatMessage() function.Tom Lane2016-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | Whenever this function is used with the FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM flag, it's good practice to include FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS as well. Otherwise, if the message contains any %n insertion markers, the function will try to fetch argument strings to substitute --- which we are not passing, possibly leading to a crash. This is exactly analogous to the rule about not giving printf() a format string you're not in control of. Noted and patched by Christian Ullrich. Back-patch to all supported branches.
