Title: Microsoft Jet Database Engine Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
Microsoft Jet Database Engine (Jet) is used to provide data access to various applications such as Microsoft Access, Microsoft Visual Basic and other third party applications. The Jet Database Engine also provides database functionality for Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and allows IIS applications to access data based on user-supplied queries.
A vulnerability in the Jet Database Engine has been identified that may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in order to gain unauthorized access to a vulnerable system. This issue presents itself when a specially crafted database query is sent by an attacker to be interpreted by Jet. Reportedly, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable system. A successful attack may allow the attacker to gain complete control of the affected system.
Although it has not been explicitly specified, this issue likely results from an overflow condition occurring in an underlying stored procedure. It should be noted that this has not been confirmed at the moment.
Microsoft Jet Database Engine version 4.0 running on various Microsoft operating systems is reported to be vulnerable to this issue.
