When ANALYZE imports statistics from a remote server, it fetched/stored
the statistics while still running as the user executing ANALYZE, not as
the foreign table's owner. This is inconsistent with the sampling path,
and it causes a security issue: a role that owns a foreign table but has
no access to the underlying remote data (eg, no access privileges on the
remote server) could obtain that data by having a privileged user run
ANALYZE on the table; the imported statistics like most_common_vals then
expose sampled values from the remote data, as shown in the reproducer
on the discussion thread.
To fix, switch to the foreign table owner's userid in analyze_rel()
before calling the ImportForeignStatistics() routine, mirroring the
identity used by the sampling path. This not only makes the privilege
handling consistent between the sampling/import paths, but also prevents
statistics import from disclosing data the table owner couldn't
otherwise obtain.
Oversight in commit 28972b6fc.
