Discussion

Microsoft SQL Server Administrator Cached Connection Vulnerability

Due to a flaw in the handling of specially crafted ad hoc queries, it is possible for a logged in user to utilize the ad hoc query in such a way that the use of the system administrator's cached connection would be invoked rather than that of the user. This would enable the user to access the database with administrative privileges.
