Heap-based buffer overflow in SQL Server allows an authorized attacker to execute code locally.
AnalysisAI
Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft SQL Server allows a low-privileged local attacker to execute arbitrary code with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the SQL Server host. Affected versions span four major release generations - SQL Server 2017 through 2025 - across both Cumulative Update and GDR servicing tracks, indicating a systemic code path defect rather than an isolated regression. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid low-privileged local account on the SQL Server host machine or an authenticated SQL Server login, as established by CVSS PR:L and AV:L. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.8 (High) score with AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H reflects a low-complexity, low-privilege local exploit with complete impact - consistent with a heap overflow reachable by any authenticated user on the SQL Server host. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the vendor-released cumulative updates or GDR patches for each affected track: SQL Server 2017 CU31 users should update to 14.0.3550.4 or later; SQL Server 2017 GDR users to 14.0.2130.4 or later; SQL Server 2019 CU32 users to 15.0.4490.9 or later; SQL Server 2019 GDR users to 15.0.2190.7 or later; SQL Server 2022 CU26 users to 16.0.4275.2 or later; SQL Server 2022 GDR users to 16.0.1200.5 or later; SQL Server 2025 CU8 users to 17.0.4085.5 or later; and SQL Server 2025 GDR x64 users to 17.0.1135.8 or later. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify and document all SQL Server 2017, 2019, 2022, and 2025 instances in production and pre-production environments, noting their current servicing level (both CU and GDR tracks are affected). …
