The special case here for estimating conditions involving a ctid column failed to check that the RHS constant is of type tid. While that'd always be true for the built-in operators that reference this selectivity estimator, a maliciously constructed operator could provide a user-controlled Datum value that would get interpreted as an ItemPointer pointer. That at least risks SIGSEGV, and perhaps with a bit of sweat it could be used for server memory disclosure.
