CVE-2018-1115
postgresql before versions 10.4, 9.6.9 is vulnerable in the adminpack extension, the pg_catalog.pg_logfile_rotate() function doesn't follow the same ACLs than pg_rorate_logfile.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.83%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
postgresql before versions 10.4, 9.6.9 is vulnerable in the adminpack extension, the pg_catalog.pg_logfile_rotate() function doesn't follow the same ACLs than pg_rorate_logfile. If the adminpack is added to a database, an attacker able to connect to it could exploit this to force log rotation.
