Patch available Apply the vendor patch
Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Apply the latest Cumulative Update (CU) or Security Update (SU) for your SQL Server version as specified in the CVE-2022-29143 advisory; for SQL Server 2014, this may require transitioning to an extended support model

  1. Navigate to the vendor advisory at https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2022-29143 to obtain the exact patch or KB article number for your SQL Server version
  2. Identify your current SQL Server version by running 'SELECT @@VERSION' in SQL Server Management Studio
  3. Apply the specific cumulative update or security update referenced in the Microsoft advisory for your version (2014, 2016, 2017, or 2019)
  4. After applying the update, verify the SQL Server instance starts successfully and test critical database operations
  5. Consult the Microsoft documentation for any required post-update configuration or service restarts
Caveat Review Microsoft release notes for the specific CU/SU to check for any breaking changes or known issues before deployment in production environments
