Let's not blame MS for admins who don't know how to secure their boxes :-) A patch was released mid-2002 and was also part of SQL Server SP3

Actually, I think a patch has been around since 1996 or so... See CERT advisory posted much earlier last night. Regards, Gregory Hicks

Has it been verified that the mid-2002/SP3 patches work? I haven't heard anything difinitive on this yet.
