+ PostgreSQL is an open source database based on the POSTGRES database + management system. It includes several contributed scripts including + the make_oidjoins_check script. +

+
+ +

+ The make_oidjoins_check script insecurely creates temporary files in + world-writeable directories with predictable names. +

+
+ +

+ A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files + directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When + make_oidjoins_check is called, this would result in file overwrite with + the rights of the user running the utility, which could be the root + user. +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. +

+
+ +

+ All PostgreSQL users should upgrade to the latest version: +

+ + # emerge sync + + # emerge -pv ">=dev-db/postgresql-7.4.5-r2" + # emerge ">=dev-db/postgresql-7.4.5-r2" +

+ Upgrade notes: PostgreSQL 7.3.x users should upgrade to the latest + available 7.3.x version to retain database compatibility. +
