Risk summary
Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2024-43474
This is an information disclosure flaw in Microsoft SQL Server, hitting the 2017 GDR and CU 31 servicing branches as well as SQL Server 2019 GDR. A CVSS score of 8.8 is unusually high for a disclosure bug in a database engine, which suggests the data an attacker can read is significant. Exploit probability sits at a modest 2 percent and there is no confirmed exploitation, so this is a patch-cycle item rather than an emergency, but database servers hold the data attackers actually want.
Do this: Inventory your SQL Server 2017 and 2019 instances, confirm which servicing branch (GDR or CU) each is on, and apply the matching security update.
