John,

Absolutely. But we are not talking about that type of data leakage here. 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).

Thanks,

Oleg
