Package        : pgagent
Version        : 4.0.0-8+deb11u1
CVE ID         : CVE-2025-0218
Debian Bug     : 1092677

When batch jobs are executed by pgAgent, a script is created in a temporary
directory and then executed. In versions of pgAgent prior to 4.2.3, an
insufficiently seeded random number generator is used when generating the
directory name, leading to the possibility for a local attacker to pre-create
the directory and thus prevent pgAgent from executing jobs, disrupting
scheduled tasks.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
4.0.0-8+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your pgagent packages.
