Buffer overflow in the convert function in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 SP4, 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) SP4, and 2000 Desktop Engine (WMSDE) allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a crafted SQL expression.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
