> Any local user able to access the socket file could connect as the
server's bootstrap superuser, then proceed to execute arbitrary code as
the operating-system user running the test, as we previously noted in
CVE-2014-0067. This change defends against that risk by placing the
server's socket in a temporary, mode 0700 subdirectory
of <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/tmp</TT
>. The hazard remains however on platforms where
Unix sockets are not supported, notably Windows, because then the
temporary postmaster must accept local TCP connections.
</P
><P
> A useful side effect of this change is to simplify
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>make check</TT
> testing in builds that
override <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR</TT
>. Popular non-default values
like <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/var/run/postgresql</TT
> are often not writable by the
build user, requiring workarounds that will no longer be necessary.

circumstances it's quite far-fetched that data could be continuously
transmitted more quickly than the <CODE

slowed by scheduler constraints.
