Description

Certain versions of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 ship with improper permissions on the 'sp_MSSetServerProperties' stored procedure such that any authenticated user can execute it. As a result, an attacker with a database account can set server properties, such as whether or not to restart the server upon reboot. While the modifiable properties may not allow the server to be compromised directly, they would be useful in carrying out more sophisticated attacks.

Solution(s)
