CVE-2000-1085 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The xp_peekqueue function in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) does not properly restrict the length of a buffer before calling the srv_paraminfo function in the SQL Server API for Extended Stored Procedures (XP), which allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands, aka the "Extended Stored Procedure Parameter Parsing" vulnerability.. EPSS estimates a 5.29% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
