PostgreSQL Remote SET ROLE Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

PostgreSQL is susceptible to a remote privilege-escalation vulnerability. This issue is due to a flaw in the error path of the 'SET ROLE' function.

This issue allows remote attackers with database access to gain administrative access to affected database servers. Since such access also allows filesystem access, other attacks against the underlying operating system may also be possible.
