Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-01-07 20:15 - Updated: 2025-11-03 18:15
Severity ?
5.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
7.1 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H
Summary
When batch jobs are executed by pgAgent, a script is created in a temporary directory and then executed. In versions of pgAgent prior to 4.2.3, an insufficiently seeded random number generator is used when generating the directory name, leading to the possibility for a local attacker to pre-create the directory and thus prevent pgAgent from executing jobs, disrupting scheduled tasks.

En versiones de pgAgent anteriores a la 4.2.3, se utiliza un generador de n\u00fameros aleatorios con una informaci\u00f3n insuficiente al generar el nombre del directorio, lo que genera la posibilidad de que un atacante local cree previamente el directorio y, de esta manera, impida que pgAgent ejecute trabajos, lo que interrumpir\u00eda las tareas programadas."
