Fixed In Version: postegresql 10.4, postegresql 9.6.9
Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
It was found that pg_catalog.pg_logfile_rotate(), from the adminpack extension, did not follow the same ACLs than pg_rorate_logfile. If the adminpack is added to a database, an attacker able to connect to it could use this flaw to force log rotation.

Description Pedro Sampaio 2018-04-30 17:39:21 UTC 
PostgreSQL contrib module "adminpack" installs function pg_logfile_rotate(), a
deprecated alias for built-in function pg_rotate_logfile(). By default, only
superusers can execute pg_rotate_logfile(), but anyone can execute
pg_logfile_rotate(). In certain configurations, an attacker could use this to
crash the server or distribute log messages across more log files than the
administrator wished.
