"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- On Unix-like systems, when logging is enabled, psqlODBC creates its log files in /tmp by default, named
from the program name, user name, and process ID, with the default permissions, typically world-readable,
and follows symbolic links when opening them. A local user can read query text and data from another
user's logs, and can place a symbolic link at the predictable path so that the driver appends log data to
a file of the attacker's choosing with the victim's privileges. Versions before psqlODBC 18.00.0006 are
affected. (CVE-2026-120066)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
