Description Jan Lieskovsky 2010-04-16 15:30:03 UTC 
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.
