The show_credit() function in this section would seem to leak authority
as well; it seems possible to determine if customers exist that
otherwise may otherwise hidden. For example, imagine we have a row
in the customer table with cid=1 whose security label would normally
prevent. We can perform:
SELECT show_credit(1);
and, as far as I can tell, this call would succeed.
