58
FAUCET Score

CVE-2008-0086 describes a critical buffer overflow vulnerability in the convert function of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 SP4, MSDE 2000 SP4, and WMSDE. This flaw allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code by supplying a specially crafted SQL expression. With a CVSS score of 9.0, it presents a high severity risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
