(MS15-058) Vulnerabilities in SQL Server Could Allow Remote Code Execution (3065718)
Publish date: August 14, 2015
Severity: HIGH
CVE Identifier: CVE-2015-1761
Advisory Date: AUG 14, 2015
DESCRIPTION
This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft SQL Server. The most severe vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if an authenticated attacker runs a specially crafted query that is designed to execute a virtual function from a wrong address, leading to a function call to uninitialized memory. To exploit this vulnerability an attacker would need permissions to create or modify a database.
