New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)
Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it's different from CVSS.
VPR Score: 9.8
Synopsis
A database application installed on the remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.
Description
The remote Windows host is running a version of Microsoft SQL Server, Desktop Engine, or Internal Database that is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability in the sp_replwritetovarbin() stored procedure due to a failure to check invalid parameters. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted request, to cause the execution of arbitrary code.
Solution
Microsoft has released a set of patches for SQL Server 2000 and 2005.
