NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rh-postgresql96-postgresql-server-syspaths package and not the rh-postgresql96-postgresql-server-syspaths package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

postgresql before versions 10.4, 9.6.9 is vulnerable in the adminpack extension, the pg_catalog.pg_logfile_rotate() function doesn't follow the same ACLs than pg_rorate_logfile. If the adminpack is added to a database, an attacker able to connect to it could exploit this to force log rotation.
