Update summary
Senserva AI Opinion for KB5040711
CVE-2024-37334, Severity High at CVSS 8.8, is the fix in this package spanning SQL Server 2019 GDR, SQL Server 2022 GDR, and the OLE DB Driver 19 client component. This is one of two near-identical packages for this July fix, likely split by architecture or edition. Remember that client machines using OLE DB Driver 19 to connect to SQL Server need this too, not just the database servers.
Do this: Patch both SQL Server 2019 and 2022 GDR servers and any client machines running OLE DB Driver 19.
