Recently, Trustix Secure Linux discovered a vulnerability in the postgresql-contrib package. The script ‘make_oidjoins_check’ created temporary files in an insecure way, which allowed a symlink attack to create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking the script.

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