The default configuration of logrotate on Debian GNU/Linux uses root privileges to process files in directories that permit non-root write access, which allows local users to conduct symlink and hard link attacks by leveraging logrotate's lack of support for untrusted directories, as demonstrated by /var/log/postgresql/.

Title: logrotate vulnerabilities
Summary: An attacker could cause logrotate to run programs, stop working, or read
and write arbitrary files.
It was discovered that logrotate incorrectly handled the creation of new
log files. Local users could possibly read log files if they were opened
before permissions were in place. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
(CVE-2011-1098)
It was discovered that logrotate incorrectly handled certain log file
names when used with the shred option. Local attackers able to create log
files with specially crafted filenames could use this issue to execute
arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, 10.10, and
11.04. (CVE-2011-1154)
It was discovered that logrotate incorrectly handled certain malformed log
filenames. Local attackers able t
