It was discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly performed authorization checks when handling the ‘ALTER … DEPENDS ON EXTENSION’ sub-commands.
A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to drop any function, procedure, materialized view, index, or trigger under certain conditions.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
