Feature/review pgsql native backend protocol - #6112
Conversation
…l-native-backend-protocol
Documents four defects found by audit and measurement (no-op native reset_session and ping, framer buffer retention, plaintext EOF discarding a complete result) and specifies the four test groups that prove them: framer unit hardening, a reusable hostile mock-backend harness, pool lifecycle differentials, and the first end-to-end backend-TLS differential.
…up-2 preconditions Self-review against the code found one finding wrong and two overstated: - D2 (no-op native async_ping) is WITHDRAWN. The libpq path does not ping either: handler(event) is commented out at PgSQL_Connection.cpp:3430 and the default branch unconditionally reports success; no ping_start/ping_cont exists for PgSQL at all. The native early return is redundant, not divergent. The pgsql-native_pool_ping-t test is dropped — it would have compared a no-op against a no-op and passed while proving nothing. The real underlying gap (PgSQL never health-checks idle pooled connections) is recorded as pre-existing and out of scope. - D3: peak retention stated precisely as min(result_size, chunk x msglen / gcd(msglen, chunk)); the 1.6 GiB figure needs a 1.6 GiB result set to reach. Notes the TLS chunk is MY_SSL_BUFFER (8192), not 16384. - D4: 'deterministic by construction' was wrong. The trigger needs the final recv() to return exactly 16384, which a black-box test cannot arrange over TCP. Downgraded to a bounded probabilistic prober that cannot prove absence. Also adds the group-2 preconditions that were missing entirely: the mock backend is otherwise removed from rotation by monitor shunning (PgSQL_Monitor.cpp:1729) and by shun_on_failures (default 5, ~20 hostile cases). Corrects group registration to the five groups the existing pgsql-native_* tests use.
The named-portal cleanup on the query error path used a connection pointer captured before the error handling ran. By that point the connection may already have been returned to the pool or handed to a new session to be reset, and both detach it from the data stream. The captured pointer still referred to it, so the cleanup queried a connection it no longer owned, whose error state had been cleared, and tripped an assertion requiring an unusable connection to carry an error. Read the connection through the data stream, which is null once it has been handed off, and test the transaction status field before calling into the connection.
The framer's buffer was only rewound when a socket read happened to end exactly on a message boundary. When it did not, bytes that had already been parsed and copied out stayed in the buffer and the next read was appended after them, so the buffer grew for the whole result set. Whether that happened came down to the message size. Sizes sharing a factor with the 16384-byte read size rewound constantly and cost nothing, while any odd size never rewound until the stream ended. Streaming 48 MiB of 2049-byte messages retained 38.6 MiB, against 28 KiB for the same run with 2048-byte messages. feed() now slides the unread tail down to the start of the buffer before appending, dropping the consumed prefix. It compacts only when that prefix is at least as large as the tail, so the work never exceeds what it reclaims and a large message is left in place while it is still being assembled.
feed() slides the unread tail down and drops the consumed prefix before
appending. Without that, bytes already framed and copied out to the client stay
in the buffer while feed() keeps appending above them, and it grows for the
whole result set. next() has a cheap rewind, but it only fires when a drain
lands exactly on len, which for a 2049-byte row read in 16384-byte chunks first
happens after 33 MB. Measured at 58 MB of delivered rows retained on a single
connection, held for the connection's lifetime because cap never shrinks.
Add a DEBUG-only invariant immediately after the compaction block:
assert(pos == 0 || pos < len - pos);
Either the dead prefix was reclaimed, or reclaiming it was not yet worth the
move. That is the compaction condition restated, so correct code cannot trip
it, and it fires on the first feed after a drain rather than once tens of MB
have accumulated. Guarded by #ifdef DEBUG because NDEBUG is not set anywhere in
this build, so a bare assert() would otherwise stay live in release and abort a
production proxy.
Add pgsql-native_framer_retention-t, which streams 58 MiB of 2049-byte rows over
a freshly created native backend connection and asserts the proxy survived, that
the expected volume arrived, and that the connection was new (so the framer was
genuinely exercised rather than the query silently taking the libpq path).
… backend The native path selects SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS whenever the backend advertises it over TLS, which PostgreSQL does by default with ssl=on, but could never complete the handshake. Three defects, each masking the next: - pg_scram_client_first() returned nullptr for any channel-binding request, a placeholder left behind after libscram gained the capability. - build_client_first_message() sized its buffer for the 8-char plain prefix "n,,n=,r=", truncating the 29-char channel-bound message. - The same function took result + 3 to derive client_first_message_bare, skipping 3 of the 24 header bytes and corrupting the AuthMessage the client proof is computed over. A single derived gs2_len now drives both the allocation and the offset. Plain SCRAM is arithmetically unchanged (3 + 5 + nonce + 1 == 8 + nonce + 1).
The native path stored its SSL and both BIOs on PgSQL_Data_Stream (myds->ssl / rbio_ssl / wbio_ssl). That object is owned by the session and destroyed when the session finishes with the backend (PgSQL_Session.cpp:1119, :1142, :1175); its destructor calls SSL_free (PgSQL_Data_Stream.cpp:376). A PgSQL_Connection outlives any one data stream -- it is pooled and reused across client sessions -- and in native mode it also owns the socket itself (native_connect_start does `this->fd = sock`). So pooling a native TLS connection destroyed its TLS context while the socket stayed open and still encrypted. The next session attached the connection to a fresh data stream with ssl==NULL, native_recv_into_framer() fell through to its plaintext branch, read TLS records raw, and reported "backend closed during result fetch". Nothing had actually closed. Move the SSL and both BIOs onto PgSQL_Connection so the TLS session shares the lifetime of the socket it encrypts. They are released in native_teardown() and in ~PgSQL_Connection() -- the latter because destroy_MyConn_from_pool() deletes pooled connections without going through teardown. SSL_set_bio() transfers the BIOs to the SSL, so SSL_free() releases all three; a pool return must never reach either path. The `encrypted` flag is no longer consulted on the native path: the presence of the SSL object is the state, so there is no separate boolean to fall out of sync.
The native path stored its SSL and both BIOs on PgSQL_Data_Stream, which belongs to the session and is destroyed when the session finishes with the backend. A PgSQL_Connection is pooled and outlives any one session, so pooling a TLS connection destroyed its TLS context while the socket stayed open and still encrypted; the next session attached it to a fresh data stream with no SSL, read TLS records as plaintext, and reported "backend closed during result fetch".

Inline comments:
In `@deps/postgresql/scram_verifier_auth.patch`:
- Around line 19-33: Update the PostgreSQL archive extraction path in the
dependency build flow so it uses or normalizes the actual extracted directory
name postgresql-16.10.tar.gz produces, ensuring subsequent patch application and
compilation run from the correct source directory. Preserve the existing
PQconninfoOption entries and explicit_bzero usage.
In
`@docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-03-pgsql-native-protocol-adversarial-tests-design.md`:
- Around line 158-160: Add the text language tag to the formula code fence
containing the result_set_size expression, or convert the formula to inline
text, while preserving its content.
- Around line 450-462: Update the D1, D3, and D4 test registration flow to wrap
each test in todo_start() and todo_end() before adding it to ordinary TAP
groups, preserving not ok # todo output while preventing g_test.failed and
exit_status() from treating these intentional failures as fatal.
- Around line 256-278: Update the adversarial test design to reference the
existing registered TAP test pgsql-native_framer_retention-t instead of the
unit-test VmRSS retention case; mark D3 as passing and remove it from the
unfixed and out-of-scope lists, while leaving the other framing cases unchanged.
In `@lib/ClickHouse_Server.cpp`:
- Around line 305-326: In lib/ClickHouse_Server.cpp lines 305-326, guard both
Date and DateTime strftime calls in the corresponding conversion cases by
checking localtime_r succeeds before formatting. Apply the same change in lines
371-392 for the Nullable Date and DateTime cases; each site requires a direct
guard, while preserving the existing date formatting behavior on successful
conversion.
In `@lib/PgSQL_Authentication.cpp`:
- Around line 114-121: Update the callers of PgSQL_Authentication::add() in
ProxySQL_Admin.cpp and Admin_Handler.cpp to check its false return value, report
the rejected username, and propagate failure so rejected credentials are not
silently removed or reported as successfully loaded.
In `@lib/PgSQL_Connection.cpp`:
- Around line 5268-5285: Guard the username, password, and database-name
duplication in PgSQL_Backend_Kill_Args so NULL fields in the supplied
PgSQL_Connection_userinfo produce safe null pointers instead of calling strdup
with NULL. Preserve normal duplication for non-NULL values and keep the existing
hostname handling unchanged.
- Around line 1129-1146: Validate both pg_b64_encode results in the
has_scram_keys branch before calling append_conninfo_param; if either encoding
fails, abort this connection setup with a clear diagnostic identifying the SCRAM
key encoding failure, and continue appending parameters only when both outputs
are valid.
- Around line 1149-1159: Update the SCRAM verifier/no-harvested-keys branch in
the connection setup logic to append an explicitly empty password parameter
after logging the error, preventing libpq from falling back to process
environment or password-file credentials while preserving the existing failure
behavior.
In `@lib/PgSQL_Protocol.cpp`:
- Around line 1173-1188: Update the authentication credential handling around
the SCRAM-verifier branch to clear and securely wipe userinfo->scram_client_key
and userinfo->scram_server_key, and set has_scram_keys to false, whenever
successful authentication does not harvest SCRAM keys. Apply this consistently
to plaintext and MD5 paths as well as the non-SCRAM path surrounding the visible
get_password_type check, while preserving the existing key harvesting for
PASSWORD_TYPE_SCRAM_SHA_256.
In `@lib/PgSQL_Session.cpp`:
- Around line 4277-4285: Move the PGSQL_LOG_EVENT_TYPE::AUTH_OK audit call from
before welcome_client() into its successful branch, after welcome_client()
returns true and before setting the authenticated session state. Do not log
AUTH_OK in the failure branch, keeping this flow consistent with the existing
success handling around the nearby authentication block.
In `@microbench/PR1977_bench.cpp`:
- Around line 110-114: Update the k assignment in the New_sum handling block to
convert New_sum to an appropriate integral type before applying the modulo
operator, while preserving the existing random_u30() selection behavior.
In `@test/tap/tests/pgsql-libpq_scram_params-t.cpp`:
- Around line 216-244: Strengthen the rejection assertions in cases (2), (3),
and (4) by requiring the captured connection error text to contain the
diagnostic expected for each scenario, not merely that connOk returns false.
Reuse the error text already passed to diag(), ensuring case (4) specifically
verifies “invalid scram_client_key” while preserving the existing rejection
checks.
In `@test/tap/tests/pgsql-md5_passthrough-t.cpp`:
- Around line 109-139: Protect the runtime authentication-floor restoration in
the test scope containing orig_floor and the pgsql-authentication_method
mutation by adding a scope guard that restores the saved value and reloads PGSQL
variables on every exit path. Keep the existing pre-mutation empty-snapshot
guard, and remove the manual restore block so cleanup has a single guaranteed
owner.
In `@test/tap/tests/pgsql-scram_reload_midhandshake-t.cpp`:
- Around line 120-141: Update the PgException handling in the mid-handshake test
to classify only an actual server ErrorResponse as the clean fail-closed
outcome. Detect transport-level failures such as connection reset or unexpected
EOF separately and mark them as a finding, while preserving the existing
timeout/hang classification and diagnostic reporting.
In `@test/tap/tests/pgsql-verifier_auth-t.cpp`:
- Around line 148-158: Capture a separate denied-password baseline while the
authentication floor is set to 3 immediately before the md5_user assertion, then
compare that check’s masked error against the new floor-3 baseline instead of
deniedBaseline captured under orig_floor. Keep the existing connection and
rejection assertions unchanged.
In `@test/tap/tests/unit/pgsql_reconcile_unit-t.cpp`:
- Around line 8-17: Update the unit test’s includes near the local
pgsql_reconcile_auth_method declaration to add both test_globals.h and
test_init.h alongside tap.h, following the required harness setup for tests
under test/tap/tests/unit/.
---
Outside diff comments:
In `@deps/libscram/src/scram.c`:
- Around line 559-572: Enforce a maximum 88-byte channel-binding input before
the pg_b64_encode call in the cbind construction path, or within
scram_state_set_cbind_input and pg_scram_set_cbind. Reject lengths above 88
while preserving existing handling for valid positive lengths, ensuring
b64[blen] remains within the buffer.
In `@lib/PgSQL_Connection.cpp`:
- Around line 254-271: Update the ownership comment following the native_ssl
destructor cleanup to reflect that the SSL object is owned and freed by the
PgSQL connection destructor, removing the stale reference to myds and
~PgSQL_Data_Stream().
---
Nitpick comments:
In `@deps/postgresql/scram_verifier_auth.patch`:
- Around line 179-189: In the md5_secret handling block, replace the validated
raw strcpy into crypt_pwd2 with a bounded copy using MD5_PASSWD_LEN plus the
terminating byte, while preserving the existing exact-length validation and
error path.
In
`@docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-03-pgsql-native-protocol-adversarial-tests-design.md`:
- Around line 270-275: Update the retention test design to assert against a
framer-level buffered-byte or capacity metric exposed solely for testing, rather
than the process-wide VmRSS delta. Keep VmRSS sampling in the retention case as
diagnostic information and preserve the existing skip behavior when /proc is
unavailable.
In `@include/PgSQL_Connection.h`:
- Around line 1016-1019: Update the documentation for PgSQL_Backend_Kill_Args to
state that ui must be non-NULL and its username, password, and dbname fields
must each be non-NULL before construction, while retaining the existing
deep-copy description.
In `@include/PgSQL_Protocol.h`:
- Around line 58-63: Update pgsql_reconcile_auth_method to use
AUTHENTICATION_METHOD and PasswordType for the floor and stored parameters, and
return AUTHENTICATION_METHOD where the required headers are available; if the
int signature must remain for header-independent unit tests, add a concise
declaration comment documenting that constraint.
In `@lib/MySQL_Session.cpp`:
- Around line 8150-8171: Optionally extract the duplicated `@-reference` scanning
logic into a shared helper used by both locations, preserving v1 ownership, v2
search advancement, and safe freeing of the allocated buffer while excluding
@@sql_mode.
In `@lib/PgSQL_Authentication.cpp`:
- Around line 117-118: Update the strncmp call in the password validation
condition to derive the comparison length from the "SCRAM-SHA-256$" literal
instead of using the duplicated magic value 14, while preserving the existing
prefix check and get_password_type validation.
In `@lib/PgSQL_Backend_Auth.cpp`:
- Around line 123-133: Add the symmetric validation in the SCRAM setup guard
near channel_binding: reject when channel_binding is false but
s->st->client_cbind_input is non-null, before scram_reset_error() and handshake
generation. Preserve the existing rejection for channel_binding=true without
cbind input.
In `@lib/PgSQL_Connection.cpp`:
- Around line 1105-1108: Replace the local libpq base64 prototypes with one
shared declaration source for pg_b64_encode and pg_b64_decode, preferably the
vendored header or a small internal header. Update lib/PgSQL_Connection.cpp
lines 1105-1108 and test/tap/tests/pgsql-libpq_scram_params-t.cpp lines 58-61 to
include it and remove their duplicate extern declarations.
- Around line 254-264: Introduce a small RAII owner for the connection’s
native_ssl, native_rbio, and native_wbio resources, encoding that SSL_set_bio
transfers BIO ownership before SSL_free releases them. Replace the duplicated
cleanup in the destructor, native_teardown(), and the BIO_new() failure path
with this holder while preserving the existing nulling and ownership behavior.
- Around line 2043-2058: Replace SSL_get_peer_certificate with
SSL_get1_peer_certificate in the native SSL handshake verification block, while
retaining X509_free(peer) for the owned certificate reference and preserving the
existing null-check and error handling.
In `@lib/PgSQL_Protocol.cpp`:
- Around line 390-409: Remove the unused reject output from the production
pgsql_reconcile_auth_method signature and its call site, while preserving the
existing mock-failure decision in the caller’s authentication flow. Update the
nearby caller comment to accurately describe the returned authentication method;
retain any reject parameter usage required by unit tests separately.
- Around line 399-404: Reduce duplicate credential lookups in the authentication
handshake by reusing a per-session credential snapshot across both stages, or by
introducing a type-only lookup for stages that do not need credential fields.
Update the relevant authentication-handshake symbols around GloPgAuth->lookup
while preserving the existing credential-update behavior.
In `@lib/PgSQL_Session.cpp`:
- Around line 4027-4031: Update the failure path in the surrounding
session-handshake logic to send a short internal-error ErrorResponse before
closing the connection when generate_pkt_initial_handshake() fails. Preserve
setting wrong_pass, the query-sent state, packet cleanup, and return behavior,
using the existing ErrorResponse mechanism.
In `@test/infra/docker-pgsql16-single/bin/docker-pgsql-post.bash`:
- Around line 34-36: Update the md5user provisioning sequence to drop the
existing md5user database before dropping the md5user role, using an idempotent
database-drop operation, and make CREATE DATABASE md5user conditional on it not
already existing. Preserve the existing password setup and privilege grant
commands.
In `@test/tap/tests/pg_lite_client.cpp`:
- Around line 548-572: Extract the shared socket creation, address resolution,
connection, credential assignment, and startup-packet logic from
PgConnection::connect and PgConnection::rawConnectStartup into one private
helper. Update both methods to reuse that helper, with connect continuing to
call handleAuthentication and waitForReady afterward, while preserving the
existing resolve/connect error handling.
In `@test/tap/tests/pgsql-libpq_scram_params-t.cpp`:
- Around line 151-156: Update the SCRAM parameter test plan from 6 to 7 and add
an ok() assertion that derivedServerMatchesStored equals "yes", while retaining
the existing diagnostic for mismatches and ensuring the new assertion is
included in the test count.
In `@test/tap/tests/pgsql-native_framer_retention-t.cpp`:
- Around line 129-165: Update readServers and flushBackendPool so recycling the
hostgroup preserves the complete pgsql_servers row, including fields such as
use_ssl, weight, status, compression, and max_replication_lag. Prefer restoring
the table from disk with LOAD PGSQL SERVERS FROM DISK before reloading runtime,
or otherwise select and reinsert every relevant column rather than only the four
currently handled fields.
In `@test/tap/tests/pgsql-scram_reload_midhandshake-t.cpp`:
- Around line 156-162: Ensure the test’s injected user is always cleaned up,
including BAIL_OUT paths and unexpected exceptions, by adding a scope guard near
the setup in the test that deletes USER and reloads PGSQL users to runtime.
Remove or avoid relying solely on the existing restore block so cleanup runs
exactly once on normal and exceptional exits.
In `@test/tap/tests/pgsql-verifier_auth-t.cpp`:
- Around line 11-17: Add the direct cstring header include to
test/pgsql-verifier_auth-t.cpp so the strncmp calls have an explicit
declaration, without relying on transitive includes.

Learning: In ProxySQL's TAP test suite, resource leaks (e.g., not calling mysql_close() on early return paths) are commonly tolerated because test processes are short-lived and OS frees resources on exit. This pattern applies to all C++ test files under test/tap/tests. When reviewing, recognize this as a project-wide test convention and focus on test correctness and isolation rather than insisting on fixing such leaks in these test files.

Learning: In ProxySQL unit tests under test/tap/tests/unit/, include test_globals.h and test_init.h only for tests that depend on ProxySQL runtime globals/initialization (i.e., tests that exercise components linked against libproxysql.a). For “pure” data-structure/utility tests (e.g., ezoption_parser_unit-t.cpp, gtid_set_unit-t.cpp, gtid_trxid_interval_unit-t.cpp) that do not require runtime globals/initialization, it is correct to omit test_globals.h and test_init.h and instead include only tap.h plus the relevant project header(s).

Learning: When using GitHub-flavored Markdown headings, be aware that an em-dash surrounded by spaces (written as ` — `) affects the generated anchor/slug: GitHub replaces spaces with hyphens and removes non-alphanumeric punctuation, which can produce double hyphens (e.g., `## Foo — bar` → anchor `#foo--bar`, not `#foo-bar`). If you reference these anchors (e.g., internal links), ensure the expected slug matches this behavior.

Learning: When reviewing GitHub-flavored Markdown links/anchors, remember that heading-to-anchor slug generation treats spaces as hyphens and removes punctuation. If a heading contains an em-dash surrounded by spaces (e.g. ` — `), the slugs can legitimately include a double hyphen where the two surrounding space-runs become `-` on either side of the removed em-dash (e.g. `...vocabulary--read...`). Do not flag double-hyphens in anchor links for em-dash-containing headings as errors; they reflect GitHub’s correct slug behavior.

PostgreSQL libpq PQconninfoOption struct fields order keyword envvar compiled val label dispchar dispsize
💡 Result:
The PQconninfoOption structure in the PostgreSQL libpq library is defined in libpq-fe.h [1][2]. The fields are arranged in the following order [3][4][5]: 1. char *keyword: The keyword of the option [3][1]. 2. char *envvar: The fallback environment variable name [3][1]. 3. char *compiled: The fallback compiled-in default value [3][1]. 4. char *val: The option's current value, or NULL [3][1]. 5. char *label: The label for the field in a connection dialog [3][1]. 6. char dispchar: An indicator of how to display this field in a connection dialog [3][1]. Supported values include "" (display as is), "" (password field/hide value), and "D" (debug option/don't show by default) [3][4]. 7. int dispsize: The field size in characters for a dialog [3][1]. All fields except val point to static strings that must not be altered [1][2]. The val field is either NULL or a dynamically allocated string, which is managed (along with the array itself) by PQconninfoFree [1][6]. The array of structures is terminated by an entry where the keyword pointer is NULL [3][4].

Fix the PostgreSQL archive path before applying this patch.
postgresql-16.10.tar.gz extracts to postgres-REL_16_10, but deps/Makefile changes to postgresql/postgresql. The patch and build therefore fail before compilation. Use the extracted directory name or normalize it first.
The PQconninfoOption entries and explicit_bzero() usage are valid for PostgreSQL 16.10.

| ### 4.1 Group 1 — `test/tap/tests/unit/pgsql_backend_framing-t.cpp` (extended) | ||
|
|
||
| Pure unit test, no infrastructure. Grows from 7 assertions to roughly 25. | ||
|
|
||
| | Case | Assertion | | ||
| |---|---| | ||
| | `msglen` = 0, 1, 2, 3 | `FRAME_ERROR` for each (length field includes itself, so < 4 is malformed) | | ||
| | `msglen` = 4 | `FRAME_OK`, `payload_len == 0` | | ||
| | `msglen` = `PGSQL_MAX_BACKEND_MSG_LEN` | `FRAME_NEED_MORE` — at the cap is legal, only the header has been fed | | ||
| | `msglen` = cap + 1 | `FRAME_ERROR` | | ||
| | after `FRAME_ERROR` | `feed()` is ignored; `next()` stays `FRAME_ERROR` | | ||
| | after `reset()` | failure cleared; framing resumes correctly | | ||
| | 3 messages, 1 byte per `feed()` | all framed in order, payloads intact | | ||
| | N messages in one `feed()` | all framed in order, types and payloads intact | | ||
| | **retention (D3)** | 256 MiB of 8197-byte messages in 16384-byte chunks; `VmRSS` delta must stay under 8 MiB | | ||
|
|
||
| The retention case reads `VmRSS` from `/proc/self/status` before the loop and | ||
| tracks the peak during it. A coarse instrument is adequate for a 130 MiB signal | ||
| against an 8 MiB bar. The test skips (rather than fails) if `/proc` is | ||
| unavailable, so it stays portable. | ||
|
|
||
| **Expected result: the retention case fails.** Everything else passes. | ||

Align D3 with the implemented framer.
The framer now compacts consumed bytes, and pgsql-native_framer_retention-t is already a registered TAP regression test. Replace the unit-test VmRSS case with this TAP test, change the expected result to passing, and remove D3 from the unfixed and out-of-scope lists.

Unchecked localtime_r leaves struct tm uninitialized in four date-formatting blocks. Each converted block declares struct tm tm; without an initializer, ignores the localtime_r return value, and passes &tm straight to strftime. When localtime_r fails it returns NULL and does not write tm, so strftime formats indeterminate fields into the result row. The time_t values come from ClickHouse column data, so an out-of-range value is reachable input.

Protect the global authentication floor restore against an early exit.
The test lowers the global pgsql-authentication_method to MD5 at Line 118 and restores it at Line 137. Between those points there is no protection: if the process aborts, or a future edit adds an early return or BAIL_OUT, the floor stays at MD5 for every later test in the same ProxySQL instance.
The pre-mutation snapshot guard at Lines 113-116 already shows the intent. A scope guard would complete it.

I am requesting changes because four concrete runtime/authentication defects remain:
- Temporary COPY fast-forward replaces and frees BIOs still referenced by the connection-owned native TLS state, creating a use-after-free path.
- The patched libpq missing-password gate lets
md5_secretreach cleartext authentication with a null password, ending instrlen(NULL). - A verifier rotation can verify against A while persisting A's keys under verifier B's pool identity.
- The new verifier/MD5 pass-through is wired only into the libpq branch; native backend authentication still treats stored representations as plaintext.
I also left a test-specific comment because the mid-handshake regression accepts peer-close, malformed-protocol, and signature failures as clean rejection outcomes.
The conflict-resolution merge itself preserves both parents' registrations, and the normal native TLS lifetime change, SCRAM-PLUS construction, key cleansing, framer compaction, and kill-connection credential copying are all useful improvements. The findings below are interaction defects that still make the current head unsafe to merge.
Verification note: this was primarily source/control-flow analysis. GitHub's completed build/lint/cluster checks were green at review time, but the focused local TAP binary could not be built in the isolated worktree because repository dependency headers were absent.

[P1] Keep the connection-owned BIOs valid across temporary COPY fast-forward
This installs native_rbio/native_wbio into the connection-owned SSL*, while normal native operation deliberately leaves myds->ssl == NULL. Later, when an already-connected TLS session enters temporary fast-forward for COPY ... FROM STDIN or COPY ... TO STDOUT, switch_normal_to_fast_forward_mode() sees that null stream pointer, obtains this same SSL*, creates different data-stream BIOs, and calls SSL_set_bio() again.
OpenSSL replaces/releases the BIOs installed here, but the connection's native_rbio/native_wbio fields are not updated. Returning from COPY only clears the data-stream SSL pointer. The next normal native read/write therefore dereferences the released BIOs, creating a process-level UAF/crash or corrupted TLS transport. The connect-time fast-forward guard does not cover this sequence because COPY starts after connection establishment.
Please keep a single BIO owner/transport driver across the mode transition, or perform an explicit atomic transfer that updates and restores every pointer. A regression should combine native backend mode + backend TLS + temporary COPY, then run another query and exercise pool return/reuse under ASAN.

[P1] Restrict the md5_secret missing-password exception to AUTH_REQ_MD5
The surrounding upstream switch shares this password gate between AUTH_REQ_MD5 and AUTH_REQ_PASSWORD. ProxySQL supplies md5_secret without a plaintext password, so this condition now permits both requests to continue with password == NULL.
The special md5_secret handling exists only inside the MD5 branch. For a cleartext password request, upstream pg_password_sendauth() assigns the null password to pwd_to_send and calls strlen(pwd_to_send). A backend using pg_hba.conf method password can therefore crash ProxySQL while authenticating an MD5-stored user.
Please bypass the missing-password error only for areq == AUTH_REQ_MD5 && md5_secret[0]; AUTH_REQ_PASSWORD without real plaintext should return a normal authentication error. Add an end-to-end or mock-protocol test for both auth requests with only md5_secret configured.

[P1] Do not persist keys from verifier A under verifier B's identity
Each authentication packet performs a fresh credential lookup. If a client starts SCRAM with verifier A, pauses after server-first, and the runtime user is reloaded with verifier B, final-proof verification still uses the existing ScramState built from A. A's proof therefore succeeds, while the local password variable now refers to B.
This block copies A's recovered ClientKey and A's ServerKey into userinfo; the success path below then stores B in userinfo->password. Pool hashing uses B, but backend conninfo prefers the harvested A keys. A new backend connection to a role already rotated to B fails, and an old A-authenticated backend connection can be matched under B's pool identity, defeating the explicit A/B isolation guarantee.
Please snapshot/version the credential when server-first is created and use one coherent snapshot through proof verification, key persistence, and pool hashing—or fail closed when the generation changes. The mid-handshake regression also needs to execute a backend query and verify pool identity after rotation.

[P1] Route verifier/MD5 credentials through the native backend path too
This new credential-selection helper is reached only by the libpq branch: connect_start() returns early for native_mode immediately above. The native authentication handlers never consult has_scram_keys: cleartext sends userinfo->password verbatim, MD5 hashes an existing md5... secret as if it were plaintext, and SCRAM runs PBKDF2 over the verifier text.
Consequently, verifier-only users that work through this path cannot establish a new native backend connection; a cleartext challenge also receives the stored verifier representation. This is an incomplete integration introduced by adding verifier/MD5 acceptance and pass-through without teaching the native connector those representations.
Please either implement native ClientKey/ServerKey and MD5-secret authentication, or explicitly fall back to libpq whenever the stored credential is not plaintext. Add native-enabled SCRAM-verifier and MD5 integration cases so this combination cannot regress.

[P3] Accept only a parsed authentication rejection as contract B
saslFinish() returns its rejection sentinel only for a parsed PostgreSQL ErrorResponse; peer close, an unexpected/malformed message, missing AuthenticationOk, and server-signature mismatch throw PgException. This catch marks every non-timeout exception as contract_held=true, so those forbidden protocol/transport outcomes can satisfy assertion 2. If the later independent login succeeds, the full test passes.
Please treat only the explicit SASL_FINISH_REJECTED result as clean fail-closed behavior and fail every propagated exception (reporting timeout separately is fine). Small peer-close and malformed-message fixtures would prove that these are red paths.

…kend A single DEALLOCATE <name> was resolved only against local_stmts, which tracks binary prepares. Names from SQL-level PREPARE aren't there, so ProxySQL returned a fabricated "does not exist" instead of forwarding -- while EXECUTE (not intercepted) worked. Now forward untracked names to the already-pinned backend; binary prepares stay handled locally.
DEALLOCATE ALL was answered locally, so SQL-level PREPARE statements survived on the backend and a later re-PREPARE failed with 42P05. Forward it when the connection is pinned to a backend, and release our backend-side tracking (backend_close_all) so the server refcounts and maps stay consistent. In an aborted transaction the backend rejects DEALLOCATE ALL and every statement survives, so keep the tracking intact and forward only to surface the real error. For a named DEALLOCATE, answer locally when the connection is neither locked nor multiplex-disabled instead of acquiring a backend just to fail. A mirror replay never forwards.
Adds a 7-scenario DEALLOCATE ALL matrix to the native and libpq suites: SQL-only, binary-only, mixed, nothing prepared, cross-connection isolation, repeated cycles, and an aborted transaction where every statement must survive. Also covers a named DEALLOCATE on an unpinned connection, which is answered locally.
Native backend protocol only (pgsql-use_native_backend_protocol='true'). libpq mode cannot hit this. fetch_result_end_st lives for the whole life of a backend connection and nothing ever clears it. An extended-query step leaves ASYNC_STMT_EXECUTE_END behind, and a later async_send_simple_command() on that connection inherited it, because query_start() writes a short 'Q' in a single syscall and so skips ASYNC_QUERY_CONT, which held the only assignment putting the value back to ASYNC_QUERY_END. That one-syscall flush is the normal outcome on the native path and never happens under libpq, which is why only native is affected. The reply was then dispatched to the stale statement end state. async_send_simple_command() accepts only ASYNC_QUERY_END, so it answered "not finished yet" indefinitely and the session waited in SETTING_VARIABLE with no timeout and no error. This is reachable in ordinary traffic: a pooled connection reused by a client wanting a different client_encoding, and equally within a single session that runs a prepared statement and then a SET.
Two regression cases for the ASYNC_QUERY_START end-state pin. The hang is native-only, so both drive the native path; the differential case uses libpq as its oracle precisely because libpq is immune. Each carries its own wall-clock deadline built on libpq's async API, because the failure is an unbounded hang that would otherwise stop the TAP run instead of reporting it. pgsql-native_prepared-t covers the pool boundary: a connection dirtied by a prepared statement, returned to the pool, then reused by a client asking for a different client_encoding (plan 78 -> 82). It is placed ahead of the DEALLOCATE blocks in main() because those use plain PQexec: on a regression the DEALLOCATE ALL matrix hangs at ok 60 and the run has to be killed on the harness timeout, so a case placed after it would never get to report anything. pgsql-native_query_differential-t covers the same staleness with no pooling involved, on one session holding the backend connection through a prepared statement and, in the second sub-case, an explicit transaction (plan 31 -> 33). Its deadline spans the read-back rather than the SET, since ProxySQL answers the SET locally and only forwards it to the backend on the next query.

A connection is not reset every time a client finishes with it. A clean one goes straight back to the pool. ProxySQL resets one only when it has to: when the client left a transaction open, when the connection has reached its age or prepared-statement limit, and when a client picks up a connection carrying settings it never asked for. On a native connection async_reset_session() reported success without sending anything to the backend, so on all of those paths nothing was reset. That went wrong in two different ways. Settings: the caller follows a successful reset with reset(), which zeroes ProxySQL's record of what the connection carried. The backend still had the settings, and with the record gone the next client to pick the connection up was told it needed no reset, so it inherited them silently. Transactions: that record does not cover transaction state, so ProxySQL still knew one was open -- nothing had rolled it back. The connection went into the pool with a live transaction and the next client landed inside it. A 16-client run against a 4-connection pool produced 371 "there is already a transaction in progress" warnings. The fake success also left the connection in ASYNC_RESET_SESSION_SUCCESSFUL instead of ASYNC_IDLE. Replaying a session variable straight afterwards found a state it had no case for and answered "not finished yet" forever, with nothing to time it out. Native now sends what a reset is made of: DISCARD ALL, preceded by ROLLBACK when a transaction is open, because the backend refuses DISCARD ALL while one is. Success is reported only once the backend answers ReadyForQuery, so rc==0 means the same thing on both connection kinds and the callers' existing check is sound again. A failed reset returns -1 and the connection is destroyed rather than pooled. ParameterStatus messages in the reply are recorded, since DISCARD ALL puts every reported setting back to its default; without this native_params would describe settings the connection no longer has.
…xt client When a backend connection dies, the status letter it last sent stays behind in the connection object. Nothing clears it, because tearing a connection down closes the socket and leaves everything else alone. The code that decides whether a connection can be reused read that letter and nothing else. A connection that died during login still reported the 'I' it started with, which reads as "idle, nothing in progress", so it was judged reusable and put back in the pool instead of being thrown away. The next session to draw it found a connection whose state machine was in a state nothing handles, and that aborts the whole proxy. The letter was being asked two different questions. One is what the backend last said, which is a fact about the protocol and stays true after the connection dies. The other is whether the connection can be used now, which is only meaningful while it is alive. The second question needs the first plus "and the connection still works", and that second half lived nowhere in the code -- callers were expected to remember it. There is now one place that decides whether a connection is usable: the socket is open and login finished. Every health answer is built on it. It reads the socket and the login flag rather than the protocol state, because a query too large to write in one go parks that state in the middle of a send, and a healthy connection flushing a large query would otherwise look dead. The two questions now have two names, so a caller has to say which one it wants, and the field behind them is private. Whether a transaction is open is deliberately left ungated. Callers use it to decide whether a failed statement can be retried on another connection, and a connection that died mid-transaction must still say it has one -- otherwise the statement is re-run on its own, outside the transaction it belonged to. libpq is unaffected. The check for that path is the same one libpq already makes internally, so it never rejects a connection libpq would have accepted, and the reusable check still falls through to the debug assertion behind it. The unhandled-state arm now logs which state it was in before aborting, so the crash says something instead of nothing. The count of connected backends gets its own flag. Tearing a connection down now clears the login flag, which the destructor used to key its decrement off, so without this a connection dying through teardown would be subtracted twice or not at all.

Summary
Fixes defects in the PostgreSQL native backend protocol path.
Backend TLS was effectively unusable on the native path before this branch: a
pooled TLS connection lost its encryption on handoff, and SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS
(which PostgreSQL offers by default with
ssl=on) could never complete ahandshake. A failed backend authentication could abort the whole process.
Fixes
Pooled native TLS connection lost its encryption — Critical
The native path stored its SSL and both BIOs on
PgSQL_Data_Stream, whichbelongs to the session and is destroyed when the session releases the backend.
A
PgSQL_Connectionis pooled and outlives any one session, so pooling a TLSconnection destroyed its TLS context while the socket stayed open and still
encrypted. The next session attached it to a fresh data stream with no SSL,
read TLS records as plaintext, and reported "backend closed during result
fetch". The TLS session now lives on the connection, giving it the socket's
lifetime.
SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS over a TLS backend always failed — Critical
The native path selects
-PLUSwhenever the backend advertises it over TLS,but could never complete the exchange. Three defects each masking the next,
starting with
pg_scram_client_first()returningnullptrfor anychannel-binding request.
Backend auth failure poisoned the connection and aborted the process
A connection that died during authentication still reported its initial
transaction status, so the pool judged it reusable and re-pooled the dead
object. The next session to pick it up aborted the process on
assert(0)The reusability check now considers the socket state.
Native framer never reclaimed consumed bytes
The buffer was only rewound when a socket read happened to end exactly on
message boundary. Otherwise already-parsed bytes stayed in place and the
read was appended after them, so the buffer grew for the whole result set
with the outcome depending on whether message size shared a factor with t
16 KB read size.
Named-portal cleanup used a stale connection pointer
The query error path used a connection pointer captured before error hand
ran, by which point the connection may already have been returned to the
or handed to another session. Cleanup then queried a connection it no lon
owned and tripped an assertion.
Observability
backend_pidandusing_sslare now reported for native connections instats_pgsql_free_connections. Both were previously libpq-only, so a poonative connection could not be correlated with
pg_stat_activityorpg_stat_sslon the server — the only way to check its real transport froutside ProxySQL.
Summary by cubic
Fixes native PostgreSQL backend protocol connections so pooled TLS, SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS, and prepared-statement state survive reuse, and dead or misbehaving backends no longer hang or abort the proxy.
