Synopsis

The Microsoft SQL Server OLE DB Driver installed on the remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The Microsoft SQL Server OLE DB Driver installed on the remote host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

- A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2023-36417)

- A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to cause the affected component to deny system or application services. (CVE-2023-36728) Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Microsoft has released security updates for the Microsoft SQL OLE DB Driver.
