The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported
versions of our database system, including 11.4, 10.9, 9.6.14, 9.5.18, and
9.4.23, as well as the second beta of PostgreSQL 12. This release fixes one
security issue and over 25 bugs since the previous cumulative update in May.
This release is made outside of the normal update release schedule as the
security vulnerability was determined to be critical enough to distribute the
fix as quickly as possible. Users who are running PostgreSQL 10, PostgreSQL 11,
or the PostgreSQL 12 beta should upgrade as soon as possible.
All other users should plan to apply this update at the next scheduled
downtime.

supported versions of our database system, including 11.3, 10.8, 9.6.13,
9.5.17, and 9.4.22. This release fixes two security issues in the
PostgreSQL server, a security issue found in two of the PostgreSQL
Windows installers, and over 60 bugs reported over the last three months.
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.

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.

This release fixes one security issue as well as bugs reported over the last

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 if you are using pg_stat_statements in your installation.
This update is also the final release for PostgreSQL 9.3, which is now

environment still uses PostgreSQL 9.3, please make plans to update to a
community supported version as soon as possible. Please see our versioning

If you have untrusted users accessing your system and you are either running
PostgreSQL 9.5 or a newer version OR have installed the "dblink" or

minor update.
The PostgreSQL Global Development Group also announces that the third beta
release of PostgreSQL 11 is now available for download. This release contains
previews of all features that will be available in the final release of
PostgreSQL 11 (though some details of the release could change before then) as
well as bug fixes that were reported during the second beta.
This release also changes the default option for the server packages to *not*

Build corruption with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY
There existed a race condition if CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY was called on a
column that had not been indexed before, then rows that were updated by
transactions running at the same time as the CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY command
could have been indexed incorrectly.
If you suspect this may have happened, the most reliable solution is to rebuild
affected indexes after installing this update.
This issue is present in the 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, and 9.6 series of PostgreSQL.

Group. This release will allow users to both scale up and scale out
high performance database workloads. New features include parallel
query, synchronous replication improvements, phrase search, and
improvements to performance and usability, as well as many more
features.
- 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.
