Microsoft SQL Server 2000 pwdencrypt Buffer Overflow
Description
Microsoft SQL Server is vulnerable to a buffer overflow by calling the function pwdencrypt with long parameter data, such as the following SQL query:
SELECT pwdencrypt(REPLICATE('A',1000))
To exploit this vulnerability, the user must first logon to the SQL server. This requires knowledge of a valid user id and password. Once logged on, the malicious user may be able to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the account used by the SQL server.
