We found a Remote Code Execution vulnerability in every #PostgreSQL database in #IBMCloud 😱

Here is how we did it: 🧵

#HellsKeychain
We set up a PostgreSQL instance in IBM Cloud and tried to execute code using the 'COPY FROM PROGRAM' statement. Unfortunately, this failed due to insufficient privileges. We were blocked! 🚫
We reviewed all IBM Cloud's proprietary functions that had the 'security definer' flag (meaning they will run as superuser). One of these functions had a SQL Injection vulnerability that we were able to exploit:

My teenager has asked me to teach him programming over the summer, so I'm looking for any tips from people who have done the same.

Current lesson plans are as follows...
1. Linux basics. Going to get an inexpensive Linux laptop for immersion sake and cover command line basics, package install, shiny things like htop, command piping, basics of users and permissions, basic vim (maybe SpaceVim)?
2. Simple command line Ruby just for shell scripts, irb, and calling linux commands that he just learned directly from it. Probably install asdf and explain the reasons for it. Go through a try-ruby demo on his own command line.

Continuing our discussion of #PostgreSQL time types, what about the much-maligned TIMESTAMP type, without TIME ZONE? 1/n
TIMESTAMP and TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE have exactly the same binary representation. TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE means "this timestamp is known to be in UTC." 2/n
TIMESTAMP-no-TZ means "no idea what time zone this particular date and time are in, hope you do." 3/n

1/ There's a question that we’ve been hearing a lot lately: how does @ClickHouseDB compare to @TimescaleDB for time series data? 🤔📊

After spending *many* weeks learning about ClickHouse, we finally have an answer for you… 👇

Read the full story: tsdb.co/clickhouse-ben…
2/ ClickHouse is an open-source columnar #OLAP database that was initially built for web analytics in Yandex Metrica. ClickHouse is known for its high insert rates, fast analytical queries, and #SQL-like dialect.
3/ Knowing this, it’s no surprise that people have been asking us how does ClickHouse compares to #PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB for time-series data💡But at Timescale, we take our comparisons very seriously… So we took some time (ahem, 3 months of testing!) before answering 🤓

Für Software-Entwickler und Nerds ein kleiner Thread zur IT-Sicherheit bei #Datenbanken und Zugriffs-Berechtigungen:

Bei normalen Dateisystem haben wir uns daran gewöhnt, dass nicht jeder Server-Dienst nach /etc, /usr/local/bin oder c:\windows\system32 schreiben darf. 1/x
Viele Entwickler wollen auf Datenbanken aber Vollzugriff auf alles haben. Steht die Anwendung im Netz und findet jemand eine Lücke ist die Kacke am Dampfen: „DELETE FROM users;“ und alle User sind weg. Mit „TRUNCATE users“ gehts sogar schneller. 2/x
Mit Pech geht das sogar auf fremden Datenbanken auf dem gleichen Server. Dumm.

Daher kennen anständige relationale Datenbankmanagementsystemen (RDBMS) User, Rollen und Zugriffsrechte; nutzt man die, darf der Applikations-User der Web-Anwendung nur das nötige. 3/x

LIMIT considered harmful in #PostgreSQL, a brief thread. 1/n
LIMIT can cause very strange planning issues in PostgreSQL, and you shouldn't use it unless it's definitely required. 2/n
(Of course, LIMIT *is* sometimes required, so use it if you need to!) 3/n

Let's talk a bit more about setting work_mem in #PostgreSQL. 1/n
The basic rule is "as high as required, and no higher." But how high is required? 2/n
A lot of tools and websites will give you formulae, usually based on some combination of system memory and number of connection. These aren't *wrong* exactly, but... 3/n

Gave the #psycopg3 connection pool to #PostgreSQL an initial test run...

Spoiler: Loving it! Thank you @psycopg!!

A thread. 1/?

Created a Flask app to use pgbench tables/queries for easy setup/scaling.

Currently 2 routes: account balance and update balance. Update intentionally uses 1 transaction/query to amplify the effect of many short connections (not a real bank app!)

github.com/rustprooflabs/…

2/?
db.py was pulled/updated from another project to use psycopg3. Seems to be drop-in replacement! 👍

db_pool.py is reworked version to use conn pool instead of creating/destroying connections per query. The docs were helpful: psycopg.org/psycopg3/docs/…

With an explosion of software in the past few years, IMO, the tech stack of the future will see a LOT less custom code.

The attached poster/graphic summarizes my thoughts.

11 tweet thread follows... 🧵⬇️ This poster shows the Tech ...
With 100+ launches on PH every day, there is a high probability you will find software that does what you need at a price point that works for you

These will be the first port of call for any process automation and new product functionality

Some examples coming up ...
Some tools provide functionality for your product

@getstream_io gives you newsfeed, @twilio gives you chat/SMS/calls, @keen_io enables reporting out of the box, @bannerbearHQ API creates bulk images. And so on

Loving this "Looking Back at Postgres" paper. So many excellent burns 🔥
Also plenty of shade for code within PostgreSQL.

(But luckily this code seems to have landed in /dev/null)
I work in the cottage industry of materialized view maintenance! I feel seen 🙈

Last Saturday, @souvikdg and @hallidude chatted about the pros and cons of @CraftCMS on hasgeek.com/metarefresh/co…. If you are deciding on whether to adopt #CraftCMS, you will find this thread useful. (1/13)
@souvikdg @hallidude @CraftCMS .@CraftCMS is a general purpose Content Management System (CMS) which differentiates itself from other #alternatives by offering a clean starting point coupled with great tools to build a #website. (2/13)
@souvikdg @hallidude @CraftCMS .@CraftCMS features a clear separation of concern between the content models, presentation and business logic. Since you begin with a clean slate, you have to bring your own #HTML and #design. There is no starter theme.

Habe mir den Datenbank-Code der Corona-Warn-App angeschaut. An den paar Zeilen kann man beispielhaft zeigen, was bei vielen Datenbank-Projekten nicht ganz optimal läuft. Ein Thread über Datenbank-Sicherheit, #SQL, die Corona-App und #PostgreSQL. #CoronaWarnApp #cwa 1/x
Kurzzusammenfassung: Die Datenbank-Berechtigungen sind viel zu weitgehend, ein erfolgreicher Angreifer könnte auf alle Daten zugreifen, löschen usw. Außerdem werden Datum und Zeit als Zahl gespeichert, unschön, denn es gibt einen TIMESTAMP-Datentyp! Und was ist mit der ID? 2/x
Bei den Berechtigungen könnte man einwenden: ein Angreifer darf nicht so weit kommen; aber das passiert leider immer wieder, und man kann sich mit einfachen Methoden schützen. Sieht auf den ersten Blick kompliziert aus, ist aber ganz simpel. Kommentare Willkommen! Also los: 3/x

If, as a company your data is critical and it requires relationnal databases with no compromises on performances and availability, let's talk about our new offers Enterprises Cloud Databases ! ⬇️
Long story short, the #OVHcloud IS rely on the exactly same technology. The internal DB team made that first for our IS : billing system, our APIs (we have 100 millions calls per day, approx 1150 per second),... and much more. Now we provide it to any customers
We released #PostgreSQL clusters first last year, and Percona-MySQL will follow :)

On the product side, we deliver clusters composed by default of 3 nodes for HA, and you can of course add more replicas for horizontal scaling.
The good part: we use dedicated servers, 1 per node.

1) Are you using #postgres via #docker for mac?

Have you ever noticed `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` slowing down your queries by like 60x?

Let's dig into some #postgres and #linux internals to figure out what's going on! An accessible version of this thread is available at https://github.com/felixge/tweets/tree/master/postgres-docker-explain-analyze
1b) This thread is also available on GitHub: github.com/felixge/tweets…
2) First we need some understanding of how `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` works.

Looking through the PostgreSQL code, it basically boils down to:

start = clock_gettime()
row = node.nextRow()
node.time += clock_gettime() - start
return row

1) Oh man, computer stuff is hard. A small #postgresql thread:

After spending weeks optimizing an ETL process to be 3x faster, an index-only scan got 3x slower compared to a replica that hadn't undergone the new ETL process. Main clue: (shared) buffer hits were up by 10x.
2) My initial suspicion was vacuum issues or index corruption, but no amount of `VACUUM FULL` or recreating the indexes was helping. So I had to dig deeper.

Enter dynamic tracing with perf: wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Profiling…
3) After some studying of the PostgreSQL source, I decided that ReadBufferExtended would be a good function to trace in order to figure out the big increase in buffer hits/allocs.

J'ai pu [enfin] mettre à jour les données #osm de map-beta.graou.info qui datent de dimanche dernier du coup — on parle ici des données cartographiques hors SNCF — enjoy 🙂

Mini thread sur la méthodo pour fabriquer son extraction #OSM vectorielle chez soi ⬇️
Le combo @Mapbox + @OpenMapTiles est déroutant de facilité et souplesse (rendu côté navigateur, facile de changer le style, très bien documenté, et tout est #opensource).
MAIS les données vectorielles distribuées par #openmaptiles sont soit vieilles, soit chères. Mais...
@OpenMapTiles ils sont sympas : ils vendent des fichiers tous faits pour pas s'embêter, mais si tu veux les fabriquer toi-même, ils expliquent et donnent leur méthode + outils pour le faire. Great job guys !

Tout est là : github.com/openmaptiles/o… il suffit de suivre la doc !

So, my thread on how to choose databases for your web apps starts in 20 minutes time. Hope y'all are ready ?However, this time i would love it to be an interactive session where we can learn from each other about database preferences for specific web apps and the use case

This is what we want to talk about today. Take a really good look at the image below. Study it well. Also notice the words at the 3 vertexes of the triangle. CONSISTENCY, AVAILABILITY & PARTITION-TOLERANCE (Big English - but fear not, we shall demystify all and it'll all be easy)
If we also look at the image in the previous tweet on this thread we can see some popular databases placed at certain sides of the triangle. It is important to note also the positioning of some of a particular point on each side. We shall discuss this in more detail soon. #thread
