CVE-2019-3466 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Ubuntu:18.04 postgresql-common to version 190ubuntu0.1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream postgresql-common package and not the postgresql-common package as distributed by Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:18.04 relevant fixed versions and status.
The pg_ctlcluster script in postgresql-common in versions prior to 210 didn't drop privileges when creating socket/statistics temporary directories, which could result in local privilege escalation.
