In security-restricted operations, block enqueue of at-commit user code.
Specifically, this blocks DECLARE ... WITH HOLD and firing of deferred triggers within index expressions and materialized view queries. An attacker having permission to create non-temp objects in at least one schema could execute arbitrary SQL functions under the identity of the bootstrap superuser. One can work around the vulnerability by disabling autovacuum and not manually running ANALYZE, CLUSTER, REINDEX, CREATE INDEX, VACUUM FULL, or REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW. (Don't restore from pg_dump, since it runs some of those commands.) Plain VACUUM (without FULL) is safe, and all commands are fine when a trusted user owns the target object. Performance may degrade quickly under this workaround, however. Back-patch to 9.5 (all supported versions). Reviewed by Robert Haas. Reported by Etienne Stalmans. Security: CVE-2020-25695
