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.

Security readout for executives and security teams

An old flaw in Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 and 2000, plus the MSDE desktop engine, lets a database user crash the service or run commands on the server by abusing a built-in helper called xp_showcolv. Microsoft shipped a fix in bulletin MS00-092 back in December 2000. Any system still running unpatched versions of these products would be at meaningful risk. Legacy SQL Server 7.0/2000 and MSDE installs that were never patched with MS00-092. Exposure is highest where these engines are embedded in older line-of-business or industrial applications and remain reachable from application accounts or internal networks. Low priority for modern estates, but treat as urgent wherever legacy SQL Server 7.0, SQL Server 2000, or MSDE is still running. These engines are end-of-life; the right action is retirement or isolation, not just patching. Mitigation focus: Apply Microsoft security bulletin MS00-092 or upgrade to a supported SQL Server release.; Retire or isolate MSDE and SQL Server 7.0/2000 instances still in production.; Restrict EXECUTE rights on xp_showcolv and other extended stored procedures to trusted roles only..
