Description

The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges within the database.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition when executing concurrent pg_dump sessions. A remote user with privileges to create and drop non-temporary objects can execute arbitrary SQL commands with the privileges of the role running pg_dump (which is often a superuser).

Mitigation
