A user having a SELECT privilege on an individual column can craft a special query that returns all columns of the table.
Additionally, a stored view that uses column-level privileges will have incomplete column-usage bitmaps. In installations that depend on column-level permissions for security, it is recommended to execute CREATE OR REPLACE on all user-defined views to force them to be re-parsed.
The PostgreSQL project thanks Sven Klemm for reporting this problem.
