| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in PostgreSQL. An object creator can exploit a type confusion vulnerability in the `pg_restore_attribute_stats()` function. This flaw occurs due to the conflation of range and multirange values, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database. This could lead to a complete compromise of the database system.
