Rule:--Sid:703--Summary:This event is generated when an attempt is made to exploit a knownvulnerability in Microsoft SQL.--Impact:Information gathering and data integrity compromise. Possible unauthorizedadministrative access to the server or application.--Detailed Information:This event is generated when an attempt is made to gain unauthorizedaccess to an implementation of Microsoft SQL server or client.  This canlead to unauthorized access and possibly escalated privileges to that of the administrator. Data stored on the machine can be compromised and trust relationships between the victim server and other hosts can be exploited by the attacker.--Affected Systems:--Attack Scenarios:An attacker can access the authentication mechanism and supply his/herown credentials to gain access. Alternatively the attacker can exploitweaknesses to gain access as the administrator.--Ease of Attack:Simple. Exploits exist.--False Positives:None known.--False Negatives:None known.--Corrective Action:Disallow administrative access from sources external to the protectednetwork.Ensure the system is using an up to date version of the software and hashad all vendor supplied patches applied.--Contributors:Sourcefire Vulnerability Research TeamBrian Caswell <bmc@sourcefire.com>Nigel Houghton <nigel.houghton@sourcefire.com>--Additional References:--
