Description
Symlink following in
pg basebackup plain format and in pg rewind allows an origin superuser to overwrite local files, such as '/var/lib/postgres/.bashrc', which can lead to the hijacking of the operating system account. This issue has practical implications if actions are taken between the execution of these commands and the server start, such as moving files to a different virtual machine or snapshotting the virtual machine.Recommendations
