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.

La condición de ejecución de tiempo de verificación de tiempo de uso (TOCTOU) en pg_dump en PostgreSQL permite a un creador de objetos ejecutar funciones SQL arbitrarias como el usuario que ejecuta pg_dump, que a menudo es un superusuario. El ataque implica reemplazar otro tipo de relación con una vista o tabla externa. El ataque requiere esperar a que se inicie pg_dump, pero ganar la condición de ejecución es trivial si el atacante retiene una transacción abierta. Las versiones anteriores a PostgreSQL 16.4, 15.8, 14.13, 13.16 y 12.20 se ven afectadas.
