NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream postgresql-docs package and not the postgresql-docs package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Missing authorization in PostgreSQL CREATE STATISTICS command allows a table owner to achieve denial of service against other CREATE STATISTICS users by creating in any schema. A later CREATE STATISTICS for the same name, from a user having the CREATE privilege, would then fail. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.1, 17.7, 16.11, 15.15, 14.20, and 13.23 are affected.
