DescriptionCVE.org

Integer overflow or wraparound in SQL Server allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Microsoft SQL Server 2017 and 2019 is enabled by an integer overflow that precipitates a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122), allowing an unauthenticated network attacker to execute arbitrary code on the database host. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R) indicates low attack complexity and no required privileges, though some user interaction is required, moderating fully automated exploitation. …
