Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions PostgreSQL versions 7.4.5 and earlier

Description The issue concerns the make oidjoins check script in PostgreSQL, which allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

There is no information about real-world incidents where this issue was exploited.

Recommendations For versions 7.4.5 and earlier, consider restricting access to the make oidjoins check script until a patch is available.
