CVE-2024-4317

A flaw was found in PostgreSQL. Missing authorization in the built-in views pg_stats_ext and pg_stats_ext_exprs allows an unprivileged database user to read most common values and other statistics from CREATE STATISTICS commands of other users. The most common values may reveal column values the eavesdropper could not otherwise read or results of functions they cannot execute.

PostgreSQL versions before 14 are not affected by this vulnerability. Additionally, this flaw was rated with a low severity as an attacker only has access to some restricted information, specifically information from CREATE STATISTICS commands.
