Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2024-49011

One more remote code execution flaw in the deprecated SQL Server Native Client, rated High Severity at CVSS 8.8 for SQL Server 2016 SP3, 2017, and 2019. Its 2 percent EPSS probability and lack of exploitation reports place it firmly in scheduled-maintenance territory. The sheer count of sibling CVEs is the argument for treating the driver itself as the problem.

Do this: Schedule the GDR update fleet-wide and flag applications hard-wired to the legacy driver for rework.
