Allaire Security Bulletin (ASB00-17)
Microsoft: Patch Updated for "DTS Password" Vulnerability

Summary

Microsoft has released an updated patch that eliminates a security vulnerability in
Microsoft(r) SQL Server 7.0. The vulnerability could allow a malicious user to
compromise passwords. The updated patch also addresses a related problem with the
Enterprise Manager Server registration dialog. This is not a problem with ColdFusion
Server itself, but it is an issue that can affect ColdFusion users. Allaire recommends that
customers follow the instructions posted on the Microsoft Web site to address this issue.

Issue

This issue is clearly explained in the Microsoft Security Bulletin:

Data Transformation Service (DTS) packages in SQL Server 7.0 allow database
administrators to create a package that will perform a particular database
action at regular intervals. As part of the creation of a DTS package, the
administrator provides the account name and password under which the action
should be taken. However, the password can be retrieved by programmatically
interrogating the package's Properties dialogue.

We have also found this vulnerability within the Registered Servers Dialog
under Enterprise Manager.

The vulnerability could only occur if several best practices have not been
followed:

- The creator of the DTS package chose to supply a username and password
instead of using Windows Authentication.
- The DTS package was created without restricting who can edit it.
- The SQL Server administrator allowed Guest access to the SQL Server MSDB
database.
- A SQL Server is registered under Enterprise Manager using a username and
password instead of using Windows Authentication.

Affected Software Versions

Microsoft SQL Server 7.0
