The Microsoft SQL Server installation on the remote host is missing security updates. 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-2024-20701,     CVE-2024-21303, CVE-2024-21308, CVE-2024-21317,     CVE-2024-21331, CVE-2024-21332, CVE-2024-21333,     CVE-2024-21335, CVE-2024-21373, CVE-2024-21398,     CVE-2024-21414, CVE-2024-21415, CVE-2024-21425,     CVE-2024-21428, CVE-2024-21449, CVE-2024-28928,     CVE-2024-35256, CVE-2024-35271, CVE-2024-35272,     CVE-2024-37318, CVE-2024-37319, CVE-2024-37320,     CVE-2024-37321, CVE-2024-37322, CVE-2024-37323,     CVE-2024-37324, CVE-2024-37326, CVE-2024-37327,     CVE-2024-37328, CVE-2024-37329, CVE-2024-37330,     CVE-2024-37331, CVE-2024-37332, CVE-2024-37333,     CVE-2024-37334, CVE-2024-37336, CVE-2024-38087,     CVE-2024-38088)

The Microsoft SQL Server OLE DB Driver installed on the remote host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by tricking an authenticated user (UI:R) into attempting to connect to a malicious SQL server database via a connection driver. This could result in the database returning malicious data that could cause arbitrary code execution on the client.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
