The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the storage engine when processing CONNECT requests. A remote user can send a specially crafted SQL query to the database instance, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
