A flaw was found in the way the PostgreSQL enforced permission checks on scripts written in PL/Tcl. Once the PL/Tcl procedural language was registered on particular database, a remote, authenticated user, privileged to create databases, running a specially-crafted PL/Tcl script, could use this flaw to bypass intended PL/Tcl trusted mode restrictions, allowing them to run arbitrary Tcl scripts with the privileges of the database server.
