Microsoft SQL Server contains a buffer overflow vulnerability. A local attacker could leverage this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges and/or execute arbitrary code.
Quoting from Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-031:
A flaw exists in a specific Windows function that may allow an authenticated user with direct access to log on to the system running SQL Server the ability create a specially crafted packet that, when sent to the listening local procedure call (LPC) port of the system, could cause a buffer overrun. If successfully exploited, this could allow a user with limited permissions on the system to elevate their permissions to the level of the SQL Server service account, or cause arbitrary code to run.
This vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to gain privileges equivalent to the SQL Server Service account, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the SQL Server Service. Quoting from Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-031:
Code running with service account permissions could provide an attacker with the ability to take full control over the database and the data contained within it.
Apply a patch as described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-031.
