NewCVE-2025-0218 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for Debian:11 pgagent.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pgagent package and not the pgagent package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.
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.
