We are talking about potential situation when user, who doesn't have
access to database, but has (or gained) access to the Linux box DB is
installed one and gets his hands on data, database processes stored in
memory (memory would be a common resource here).

Of far larger concern at that point is unauthorized access to the database files.

Basically, if someone gains access to the OS user that Postgres is running as, or to root, it's game-over.
