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.
The PostgreSQL project thanks Jelte Fennema-Nio for reporting this problem.
