The attack can be carried out by any user with access to execute SQL queries. Only PostgreSQL 11, 12, and 13 branches are affected by the problem. Known variants of attacks do not affect configurations with the max_worker_processes=0 setting, but it is possible that there are variants that do not depend on this setting.
