Known issues in this update

Linked server queries that use MSDASQL fail with error 7416

Linked server queries that use the MSDASQL (OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers) provider and specify a provider string (@provstr) fail and return the following error message:

Msg 7416, Level 16
Access to the remote server is denied because no login-mapping exists.

A stricter connection validation check in the Database Engine can reject connections for certain linked server configurations that use the MSDASQL provider, even if earlier builds allowed those connections.

For more information and workarounds, see Linked server queries that use MSDASQL fail with error 7416.

Improvements and fixes included in this update

A downloadable Excel workbook that contains a summary list of builds, together with their current support lifecycle, is available. The Excel file also contains detailed fix lists. Download this Excel file now.

5383449 This fix addresses a vulnerability that affects the SQL Server managed backup to the Microsoft Azure stored procedures, managed_backup.sp_get_encryption_option and managed_backup.sp_do_backup. Customers who use managed backup should apply this update through the standard SQL Server servicing process. SQL Server Engine Backup Restore Linux;Windows
5434230 This fix addresses an issue in which internal validation of backup metadata that's processed by the SQL Server Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) Writer improves handling of malformed or undersized metadata to ensure that it's rejected safely. SQL Server Engine Backup Restore Windows
5442247 This fix addresses a security validation issue in SQL Server Agent if SQL Server Agent loads task-agent components. This fix strengthens security validation. SQL Server Engine SQL Agent Windows
5456057 This fix addresses reliability and security issues in SQL Server Agent if it processes specific input. SQL Server Engine SQL Agent Linux;Windows
5459627 This fix addresses an issue in which the SQL WMI Provider processes malformed input incorrectly while preserving existing behavior for valid input. SQL Server Engine WMI Management Provider (SqlMgmProvider) Windows
5462846 This fix addresses a security vulnerability in Microsoft Entra authentication login handling in SQL Server. SQL Server Engine Security Infrastructure Linux;Windows
5469846 This fix improves internal validation and security checks for SQL Server replication stored procedures to ensure that replication operations are processed by using the expected security safeguards. SQL Server Engine Replication Linux;Windows
5471674 This fix addresses validation of malformed Tabular Data Stream (TDS) and Binary XML input processed by SQL Server components. The input contains invalid length values that can cause unexpected behavior. SQL Connectivity SQL Connectivity Windows
5475792 This fix addresses identifier handling and input validation in replication stored procedures to ensure that supplied and stored values are processed correctly. SQL Server Engine Replication Linux;Windows
5475793 This fix addresses replication stored procedures that incorrectly process identifiers that contains longer or special characters. SQL Server Engine Replication Linux;Windows
5475794 This fix addresses replication stored procedures that incorrectly process identifiers that contain special characters. SQL Server Engine Replication Linux;Windows
5475795 This fix addresses input validation for a merge replication metadata stored procedure to ensure that supplied values are processed reliably. SQL Server Engine Replication Linux;Windows
5475796 This fix addresses a replication stored procedure that handles a caller-supplied path value. SQL Server Engine Replication Linux;Windows
5475797 This fix addresses input validation for parameters that are used by replication stored procedures to ensure that supplied values are processed reliably. SQL Server Engine Replication Linux;Windows
5481781 This fix addresses an issue that affects the security and reliability of SQL Server Agent under specific operating conditions. SQL Server Engine SQL Agent Linux;Windows
5482774 This fix addresses an issue in which the SUBSTRING function reads beyond the allocated buffer if it processes malformed double-byte character set (DBCS) varchar input. The issue occurs in a natively compiled In-Memory Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) procedure. SQL Server Engine In-Memory OLTP Linux;Windows
5482829 This fix addresses an issue in which converting or truncating an NVARCHAR value that contains an Ideographic Variation Sequence (IVS) under a Variation Selector Sensitive (_VSS) collation causes an access violation. The issue occurs in a natively compiled In-Memory Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) procedure and causes the server to stop responding. SQL Server Engine In-Memory OLTP Linux;Windows
5482835 This fix addresses an issue in which a natively compiled stored procedure causes a heap buffer overwrite while streaming nvarchar(max) data that has SET TEXTSIZE truncation under a Variation Selector Sensitive (_VSS) collation. The issue causes a server to stop responding if the procedure uses small Tabular Data Stream (TDS) packet sizes. SQL Server Engine In-Memory OLTP Linux;Windows
5495125 This fix addresses a remote code execution vulnerability in which a user with administrative permissions modifies PolyBase service command-line parameters to activate a deprecated feature that runs the Data Warehouse (DW) Engine and Data Movement Service (DMS) control and data channels on raw Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) listeners. This deprecated feature is intended to run under a single SQL Platform Abstraction Layer (SQLPAL) instance in Kubernetes by having only the SQL Server port exposed outside the pod. The fix prevents PolyBase services from opening raw TCP listeners for the DW Engine and DMS control and data channels if the services start by having modified command-line parameters. SQL Server Engine PolyBase Linux;Windows
5495730 This fix addresses an access violation that occurs if SQL Server processes a query that has an extremely large OPTION (USE PLAN) XML declaration. This access violation can cause the SQL Server process to terminate unexpectedly. SQL Server Engine XML Linux;Windows

5499872 This fix addresses an integer overflow in the SQL Server XML reader that occurs if SQL Server processes a specially crafted XML format file through OPENROWSET(BULK...) or BULK INSERT. The integer overflow can cause the SQL Server process to stop responding or terminate unexpectedly. SQL Server Engine XML Linux;Windows
