• Adds input validation and sanitization for a parameter passed to an internal replication stored procedure.

• Fixes a memory leak when using sys.dm_exec_input_buffer or DBCC INPUTBUFFER.
• Resolves a linked server validation issue that can cause MSDASQL queries with @provstr to fail with error 7416.

• Linked server queries that use MSDASQL with a provider string (@provstr) may fail with error 7416 due to stricter connection validation.

• To apply this update, SQL Server 2017 or a later SQL Server 2017 GDR release must already be installed.
