[GENERAL] CREATE FUNCTION LANGUAGE C

[Marc SCHAEFER]

Hi,

CREATE FUNCTION LANGUAGE C (and maybe others) allow to load shared
libraries. However the path can be specified arbitrarily by the user. Is
that a way for a user X to gain the UID rights of the user running the
postmaster ?

Yes, that is why only superusers have access to 'create function
language c'
