The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported
versions of our database system, including 9.6.1, 9.5.5, 9.4.10, 9.3.15,
9.2.19, and 9.1.24.
This release fixes two issues that can cause data corruption, which are
described in more detail below. It also patches a number of other bugs reported
over the last three months. The project urges users to apply this update at the
next possible downtime.
- Clean up the Makefile.
- Follow some upstream recommendations (--with-data-packaging=archive,
--disable-renaming, -DICU_NO_USER_DATA_OVERRIDE).
- Patch makefiles to install static libraries with INSTALL_DATA so they
aren't stripped.
- Patch config/mh-bsd-gcc to sync with config/mh-linux-gcc.
- Fix endianness detection in ICU. The code wanted to use BYTE_ORDER
defined in machine/endian.h, but this isn't visible because ICU is
compiled with _XOPEN_SOURCE. Patch the code to use _BYTE_ORDER instead.
- Compile ICU with C++11 compiler to enable move constructors.
- Patch ICU to fix a problem with atomics in the case of a C++11 compiler
without C++11 header <atomic> (like Clang on FreeBSD 9).
- Bump all ports that depend on it due to library version change.
- Add USES=compiler:c++0x to some ports that pick up -std=c++0x from ICU
pkgconfig files.
- Add USES=compiler:c++11-lib to graphics/libcdr01 because it also needs
a C++11 runtime library now. Add this to all ports that depend on it
so their executables load the right libstdc++.so on FreeBSD 9.

versions of our database system, including 9.5.4, 9.4.9, 9.3.14, 9.2.18 and
9.1.23. This release fixes two security issues. It also patches a number of
other bugs reported over the last three months. Users who rely on security
isolation between database users should update as soon as possible. Other users
should plan to update at the next convenient downtime.

Security Fixes for Regular Expressions, PL/Java
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

pg_upgrade. Other where added in 9.5, but the port failed to install them.
Make sure they are properly installed by the correct port (-client or -server) [1]
Remove unused and hence confusing OSSP_UUID parameters from Makefile [2]
Add options to allow user to be set for the backup script in periodic.
Add this option only to 9.5 for now. It will be updated to other servers at
next regular patch release. [3]
The path to perl in hard coded into pgxs/src/Makefile.global which is
then installed. Hence, we must depend on perl when that file is installed.

Two security issues have been fixed in this release which affect users
of specific PostgreSQL features:
CVE-2015-5289: json or jsonb input values constructed from arbitrary
user input can crash the PostgreSQL server and cause a denial of
service.
CVE-2015-5288: The crypt( function included with the optional pgCrypto
extension could be exploited to read a few additional bytes of memory.
No working exploit for this issue has been developed.
This update will also disable SSL renegotiation by default;
previously, it was enabled by default. SSL renegotiation will be
removed entirely in PostgreSQL versions 9.5 and later.

Earlier update releases attempted to fix an issue in PostgreSQL 9.3 and 9.4
with "multixact wraparound", but failed to account for issues doing multixact
cleanup during crash recovery. This could cause servers to be unable to restart
after a crash. As such, all users of 9.3 and 9.4 should apply this update as
soon as possible.

The update is mostly to fix the file persmission problem described
in the URL below. You might want to wait until next upgrade, depending
on you local configuration.

Data Corruption Fix
For users of PostgreSQL versions 9.3 or 9.4, this release fixes a problem where
the database will fail to protect against "multixact wraparound", resulting in
data corruption or loss. Users with a high transaction rate (1 million or more
per hour) in a database with many foreign keys are especially vulnerable. We
strongly urge all users of 9.4 and 9.3 to update their installations in the
next few days.
Users of versions 9.2 and earlier are not affected by this issue.

- Replace ${MASTER_SITE_FOO} with FOO.
- Merge MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR into MASTER_SITES when possible. (This means 99.9%
of the time.)
- Remove occurrences of MASTER_SITE_LOCAL when no subdirectory was present and
no hint of what it should be was present.
- Fix some logic.
- And generally, make things more simple and easy to understand.
While there, add magic values to the FESTIVAL, GENTOO, GIMP, GNUPG, QT and
SAMBA macros.
Also, replace some EXTRACT_SUFX occurences with USES=tar:*.

This update fixes multiple security issues reported in PostgreSQL over the past
few months. All of these issues require prior authentication, and some require
additional conditions, and as such are not considered generally urgent.
However, users should examine the list of security holes patched below in case
they are particularly vulnerable.

uuid-ossp patch has been outdated with irrelevant changes (for us),
so massage back in.
In head of postgresql, this is handled properly, so eventually the ossp patches
can go.

NEW XORG ON FREEBSD 9-STABLE AND 10-STABLE
This update switches over to use the new xorg stack by default on FreeBSD 9
and 10 stable, on osversions where vt(9) is available.
It is still possible to use the old stack by specifying WITHOUT_NEW_XORG in
/etc/make.conf .
FreeBSD 8-STABLE and released versions of FreeBSD still use
the old version.
A package repository with binary packages for new xorg will
be available soon.
This patch also contains updates of libxcb and related ports, pixman, as well
as some drivers and utilities.
Bump portrevisions for xf86-* ports, as well as virtualbox-ose-additions due
to xserver version change.
Apart from these updates, the way shared libraries are handled has been
changed for all xorg ports, as well as libxml2 and freetype, which means
ltverhack is gone and as a consequence shared libraries have been bumped.
The plan is that this change will make library bumps less likely in the
future.
All affected ports have had their portrevisions bumped as a consequence of
this.
Fix some issues where WITH_NEW_XORG weren't detected properly on CURRENT.
