Overview
eliminates a security vulnerability in a component which is included with Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 that compromises passwords.
In depth
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 interrogating the package's Properties dialog using a program.
The vulnerability could only occur if several best practices have not been followed: the creator of the DTS package chose to supply a user name and password instead of using Windows Authentication; the DTS package was created without restricting who can edit it; and the SQL Server administrator allowed guest access to the SQL Server MSDB database.
