Remote code execution via malicious server data
Published Jun 16, 2023 · Updated Jan 1, 2025
Heap-based buffer overflow in affected Microsoft Visual Studio and OLE DB Driver releases allows attackers to execute code via a malicious server. Microsoft identifies the flaw as a heap-based buffer overflow but has not published the affected function or malformed response field. Exploitation requires user interaction to direct an OLE DB client connection to an attacker-controlled server, after which code runs in the client security context.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=17.8.0 <17.8.4
