I ran Internet Scanner this a.m. with a policy that contained only a check
for MssqlMs02039Patch.  I ran it on a test domain that has two boxes running
SQL Server 2000 Sp2 unpatched.  I am both a Domain Admin and local machine
Admin on each box on this domain.  I received a false negative from IS (no
vulnerabilities).  I ran a scan of the same IP range with Retina's freeware
scanner for the SQL Slammer Worm and the two boxes showed up as vulnerable.
I am up-to-date with X-Press Updates.  Go figure.  Perhaps ISS should
include a new X-Press Update that checks specifically for open UDP and TCP
ports 1433 and 1434.

Stephen,

The MssqlMs02039Patch (SecChkId 9666) check for Internet Scanner works
by reading the path to where SQLServer is installed and then gets the
version resource from ssnetlib.dll.  If the version is less than 636, we
flag the target as vulnerable.

You will need admin rights on the target to detect this.  

-Chris

Interestingly enough if have ISS internet scanner upda toe date with all
XPU's and scanned a machine Friday which turned out to be vulnerable
today.  It was a stable production node so I doubt they enabled anything
new.  Which suggests the ISS was not on point or was a Denial of Service
test since those were not
run against the machine being tested.   Could someone tell
me which was the case?
