Heap-based Buffer Overflow (CWE-122)
SQL Server Native Client OLE DB Provider Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote code execution with a network-based attack vector. It requires user interaction but no privileges, and has a low attack complexity. The vulnerability affects multiple versions of Microsoft SQL Server, including SQL Server 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2022.
If exploited, this vulnerability could lead to a severe impact on the affected systems. The attacker could potentially execute arbitrary code remotely, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. With high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, an attacker could potentially access sensitive data, modify system files or data, and disrupt normal operations of the affected SQL Server instances. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8, indicating a high severity level.
There is no evidence that a public proof-of-concept exists. There is no evidence of proof of exploitation at the moment.
A patch is available. Microsoft has released an official fix for this vulnerability on July 9, 2024. Specific version numbers that need updating include: - SQL Server 2016: versions before 13.0.6441.1 and 13.0.7000.253 to 13.0.7037.1 - SQL Server 2017: versions before 14.0.2056.2 and 14.0.3456.2 to 14.0.3471.2 - SQL Server 2019: versions before 15.0.2116.2 and 15.0.4375.4 to 15.0.4382.1 - SQL Server 2022: versions before 16.0.1121.4 and 16.0.4125.3 to 16.0.4131.2
1. Apply the official patch released by Microsoft as soon as possible. 2. Implement network segmentation to limit exposure of SQL Server instances. 3. Enforce strong user education to prevent social engineering attacks, as user interaction is required for exploitation. 4. Monitor for suspicious activities related to SQL Server Native Client OLE DB Provider. 5. Implement the principle of least privilege for SQL Server access. 6. Keep all SQL Server related software and components up to date.
