The PostgreSQL project reports:

    Versions Affected: 9.4 - 11
  

    Given a suitable `SECURITY DEFINER` function, an attacker can execute arbitrary
    SQL under the identity of the function owner.  An attack requires `EXECUTE`
    permission on the function, which must itself contain a function call having
    inexact argument type match.  For example, `length('foo'::varchar)` and
    `length('foo')` are inexact, while `length('foo'::text)` is exact.
    As part of exploiting this vulnerability, the attacker uses `CREATE DOMAIN`
    to create a type in a `pg_temp` schema. The attack pattern and fix are similar
    to that for CVE-2007-2138.
  

    Writing `SECURITY DEFINER` functions continues to require following
    the considerations noted in the documentation:
  

    https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/sql-createfunction.html#SQL-CREATEFUNCTION-SECURITY
  



    Versions Affected: 11
  

    In a database containing hypothetical, user-defined hash equality operators,
    an attacker could read arbitrary bytes of server memory. For an attack to
    become possible, a superuser would need to create unusual operators.
    It is possible for operators not purpose-crafted for attack to have
    the properties that enable an attack, but we are not aware of specific examples.
