Description

Microsoft SQL Server and Desktop Engine contain a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. The issue is due to the SQL Server Resolution Service not properly sanitizing remote user input. If an attacker sends a specially crafted request (byte set to 0x08 followed by long string and colon), they may be able to overflow a buffer to execute arbitrary code on the system.
