Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in pg_dump in PostgreSQL
allows an object creator to execute arbitrary SQL functions as the user
running pg_dump, which is often a superuser. The attack involves replacing
another relation type with a view or foreign table. The attack requires
waiting for pg_dump to start, but winning the race condition is trivial if
the attacker retains an open transaction. Versions before PostgreSQL 16.4,
15.8, 14.13, 13.16, and 12.20 are affected.

Notes

Author Note
