Security: January 2003 Archives

The Retina Sapphire SQL Worm Scanner is a tool created by eEye for scanning up to 254 IP addresses at once to determine if any are vulnerable to the Microsoft SQL buffer overflow vulnerability that the recent Sapphire Worm uses to propagate. If an IP address is found to be vulnerable to the MS SQL flaw, the Retina Sapphire SQL Worm Scanner will flag that address as vulnerable. Administrators can then double-click on the IP address for a link to a website with information on how to fix the vulnerability.
