CVE-2000-1083: Microsoft Data Engine

Low severity, CVSS 2.1. EPSS: 5.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The xp_showcolv function in SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) does not properly restrict the length of a buffer before calling the srv_paraminfo function in the SQL Server API for Extended Stored Procedures (XP), which allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands, aka the "Extended Stored Procedure Parameter Parsing" vulnerability.

Affected products

• Microsoft Data Engine: version 1.0 only; version 2000 only
• Microsoft SQL Server: version 7.0 only; version 2000 only
