Description Victor Pereira 2014-02-20 10:55:12 UTC 
CVE-2014-0062

A race condition when using CREATE INDEX could cause lookups to find table names (of the same name) in the wrong schema, allowing indexes to be created on tables the caller does not own. An authenticated database user could possibly leverage this flaw to escalate their privileges.
