Dear Max and MS Users,

It's not patched as of 22nd Dec 2008, except for 2005 and 2008 versions if service packs are applied. Any of the older versions are unpatched at present.

I expect this means that Windows Server2003 and it's SQL products are affected, which could be a large problem.

Does it also affect SQL in Access?

So, what you're saying is that the fix was published long before the vulnerability was out there? I'm reading this as "Hey, if you're using un-patched software, you're at risk of this exploit", kind of like "If you turned your anti-virus update off, you're at risk for new viruses..."
If you noticed, the latest SERVICE PACK fixed the problem for SQL 2000, 2005, and all of SQL 2008. That means, the exploit being talked about here is old news because all the latest versions of software have this hole plugged up. Okay, let me try your reporting approach for myself...

LATE BREAKING NEWS BULLETIN:
Windows 95 has severe exploits in it!
If you are not using the latest service pack for Windows 95, there is a serious exploit out there...

but i digress.

that Microbloat knew about this for some time. Customized Unix for the big ones or Linux for smaller ones should be the platforms for all servers. I love my Mac but don't think it should be out there running critical server systems. Set a customized Unix system in place and there is little need to ever upgrade it unlike the the daily updates from the Bloatware company.

lol Vole ... monopoly.
Even my subconscious jokes around at full speed.
