Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8 SP1 and SP2 and Windows Data Access Components (WDAC) 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted XML data that triggers access to an uninitialized object in memory, aka "ADO Cachesize Heap Overflow RCE Vulnerability."
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.
The product uses or accesses a resource that has not been initialized.
