Rich Mirch discovered that the pg_ctlcluster script didn’t drop privileges when creating socket/statistics temporary directories, which could result in local privilege escalation.

For the oldoldstable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 165+deb8u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-common packages.

For the detailed security status of postgresql-common please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/postgresql-common

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
