DescriptionCVE.org

Heap-based buffer overflow in SQL Server allows an authorized attacker to execute code over a network.

AnalysisAI

Heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) in Microsoft SQL Server allows a network-connected attacker with high database privileges to corrupt heap memory, causing at minimum a denial-of-service crash of the SQL Server process and potentially enabling code execution. Affects SQL Server versions 2017 through 2025 across both GDR and Cumulative Update servicing tracks. …
