Description Adam Mariš 2017-05-04 13:34:13 UTC 
PostgreSQL maintains column statistics for tables. Certain statistics, such as histograms and lists of most common values, contain values taken from the column. PostgreSQL does not check privileges before consulting those statistics during query planning; an attacker can exploit this to view the most common values of arbitrary columns.
