NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream postgresql14 package and not the postgresql14 package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.19 relevant fixed versions and status.

It was found that some selectivity estimation functions in PostgreSQL before 9.2.21, 9.3.x before 9.3.17, 9.4.x before 9.4.12, 9.5.x before 9.5.7, and 9.6.x before 9.6.3 did not check user privileges before providing information from pg_statistic, possibly leaking information. An unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to steal some information from tables they are otherwise not allowed to access.
