CVE-2019-1068 is a remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft SQL Server caused by incorrect processing of internal functions. A remote authenticated attacker can submit a specially crafted query to a vulnerable SQL Server instance and execute arbitrary code in the security context of the SQL Server Database Engine service account. Affected releases include specified SQL Server 2014 Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 3 builds, SQL Server 2016 Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2 builds, and SQL Server 2017 builds for supported architectures.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2019-1068, a stack overflow vulnerability in Microsoft SQL Server. The repository consists of a README.md with background information and references, and a Python script (cve-2019-1068_DoS_PoC.py) that demonstrates the exploit. The script requires the user to provide a target SQL Server host, username, and password. It connects to the SQL Server using the pypyodbc library and sends a crafted SQL command (RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK='C:AAA';) that triggers the vulnerability, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. The exploit targets Microsoft SQL Server on Windows platforms and requires network access and valid credentials. No weaponized or post-exploitation payload is included; the script is a minimal PoC for triggering the crash.
