CVE-2024-28944Network attack vector

Remote code execution via numeric truncation

Published Apr 9, 2024 · Updated May 3, 2025

Numeric truncation in Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server before 18.7.0002.0 or 19.3.0003.0 allows remote attackers to execute code. The driver narrows a numeric value in data returned by a SQL Server, losing high-order bits; Microsoft has not identified the affected parser. Exploitation requires a client application to connect to an attacker-controlled server and process its response, so user interaction is required.
