- December 10, 1999 - Security UPDATE Alert - Two new security risks
- were reported recently. In addition, an advisory has been released
- warning users about proper configuration to avoid an SQL Server 7.0
- SA password compromise.
-
- USSRLABS reported a denial of service (DoS) condition within GoodTech's
- Telnet Server v.2.2.1. The DoS is caused by an unchecked buffer in
- the login sequence. GoodTech is aware of the problem, however no
- vendor response is know at this time.
-
- .rain.forrest.puppy. reported a DoS condition in Windows NT Server 4.0.
- The problem can lead to a crashed Service Manager and break functionality
- of named pipes. Microsoft issued a patch, FAQ, and Support Online
- article regarding this matter.
-
- Kevork Belian pointed out how easy it is to change an SA password on
- SQL Server 7.0. The situation exists largely due to improper security
- permission settings on SQL's files.
