said by »www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/new···-warning :

Microsoft has warned that there is a SQL Server vulnerability out there that allows an attacker to bring down the server remotely.
Ouch. Of course anyone running an MS SQL server without a firewall or some serious ACLs between it and the wild deserves what they get.

Upon completion of this investigation, Microsoft will take the appropriate action to protect our customers, which may include providing a solution through a service pack, our monthly security update release process, or an out-of-cycle security update, depending on customer needs.
I'm betting on the "out-of-cycle" option here. There's no way that this can wait till the next patch release next month. I know that this will be a priority patch when it comes down the pipe at work, even though all of our SQL boxes are behind firewalls.
