Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a missing authorization check in the PostgreSQL CREATE STATISTICS command. It allows a table owner to cause a denial of service against other users who use CREATE STATISTICS by creating statistics objects in any schema. This prevents other users with CREATE privileges from creating statistics with the same name later, causing their commands to fail.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can impact you by allowing a table owner to deny service to other users who need to create statistics in the database. This can disrupt database operations that rely on statistics for query planning and optimization, potentially degrading performance or causing failures in database tasks that require creating statistics.
