Descriptions

Microsoft SQL Server before Windows 2000 SP4 allows local users to gain privileges as the SQL Server user by calling the xp_fileexist extended stored procedure with a named pipe as an argument instead of a normal file.

Microsoft Windows 2000 pre-SP4 no maneja adecuadamente tuberias con nombre (named pipes) a través de la API CreateFile, de forma que usuarios locales pueden ganar privilegios llamando al procedimiento almacenado extendidoxp_fileexist de SQL Server con un nombre de tubería como argumento en vez de un fichero local.
