Summary
postgresql-10, postgresql-12, postgresql-13, postgresql-14 vulnerability
Details

Alexander Lakhin discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled the security restricted operation sandbox when a privileged user is maintaining another user's objects. An attacker having permission to create non-temp objects can use this issue to execute arbitrary commands as the superuser.
