What changes

Fixes 4 changes

Integration Services

  • Untrusted Microsoft Message Queuing messages can no longer trigger remote code execution through MessageQueueTask deserialization.1
    Restricts SoapFormatter deserialization with an allow list binder.

Query Execution

  • Using the input-buffer function or command no longer causes a memory leak.2
    Fixes a memory leak when using the sys.dm_exec_input_buffer dynamic management function or the DBCC INPUTBUFFER command.

Replication

  • Input passed to an internal replication stored procedure is validated and sanitized before the procedure uses it.3

SQL Agent

  • Resolves a SQL injection vulnerability that could let an authenticated attacker elevate privileges over a network.4
    The vulnerability involves improper neutralization of special elements in SQL Server commands.

Known issues

  1. Open Affects: Organizations and IT administrators

    Linked server queries that use MSDASQL fail with error 7416

    Linked-server queries using the MSDASQL provider and a provider string can fail with error 7416 in certain configurations, even if earlier builds allowed the connection.5

    Workaround status No workaround yet

    Microsoft has not published a manual workaround for this issue yet. Monitor release health until a resolving update is available.
