General Distribution Release (GDR) updates provide security and other broadly applicable critical fixes. Cumulative Updates (CUs) include accumulated fixes for the applicable SQL Server release. Use the version ranges above to select the security update for your installed servicing branch; CU+GDR updates apply to the listed CU branch, while RTM+GDR updates apply to the listed RTM/GDR branch.

How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?
An authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by connecting to an affected SQL Server and submitting a specially crafted query or request that triggers a memory corruption condition, allowing the attacker to execute code on the server. Authentication is required; user interaction is not required.

According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does this mean for this vulnerability?
An attacker would need specific conditions to be in place (i.e. particular protocol settings, or configurations, etc.) before an attack could succeed, which reduces the likelihood of widespread or opportunistic exploitation.
