Any OS user able to access the socket can connect as the bootstrap superuser and proceed to execute arbitrary code as the OS user running the test. Protect against that by placing the socket in a temporary, mode-0700 subdirectory of /tmp. The pg_regress-based test suites and the pg_upgrade test suite were vulnerable; the $(prove_check)-based test suites were already secure. Back-patch to 8.4 (all supported versions). The hazard remains wherever the temporary cluster accepts TCP connections, notably on Windows. As a convenient side effect, this lets testing proceed smoothly in builds that override DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR. Popular non-default values like /var/run/postgresql are often unwritable to the build user. Security: CVE-2014-0067
