    Summary
    =======
    
    This advisory describes a vulnerability that affects Cisco products and
    applications that are installed on Microsoft operating systems incorporating
    the use of the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and is based on the vulnerability of
    SQL Server 2000, not due to a defect of the Cisco product or application.
    
    A number of vulnerabilities that have been discovered that enable an attacker
    to execute arbitrary code or perform a denial of service against the server.
    These vulnerabilities were discovered and publicly announced by Microsoft in
    their Microsoft Security Bulletins MS02-039, MS02-056, and MS02-061.
    
    All Cisco products and applications that are using unpatched Microsoft SQL
    Server 2000 are considered vulnerable.
    
    This advisory is available at 
    http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20030126-ms02-061.shtml.
    
    Affected Products
    =================
    
    To determine if a product is vulnerable, review the list below. If the software
    versions or configuration information are provided, then only those
    combinations are vulnerable.
    
      * Cisco CallManager 3.3(x)
      * Cisco Unity 3.x, 4.x
      * Cisco Intelligent Contact Management (ICM) 5.0
      * Cisco E-Mail Manager (CeM)
      * Cisco Building Broadband Service Manager 5.0, 5.1
    
    No other Cisco product is currently known to be affected by this vulnerability.
    
    Details
    =======
    
    Implementations of the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 are vulnerable to buffer
    overflows and denial of service attacks. These vulnerabilities can be exploited
    to execute arbitrary code on a computer system or to disrupt normal operation
    of the server.
    
    The vulnerabilities have been described in more detail at
    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS02-039.asp
    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS02-056.asp
    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS02-061.asp
    
    Impact
    ======
    
    According to Microsoft, the vulnerabilities range from an attacker gaining
    additional privileges on a SQL server to gaining control over the SQL Server.
    Additionally the MS SQL "Sapphire" Worm is known to exploit this same
    vulnerability which can result in degraded network performance as the worm
    attempts to propagate.
    
    Software Versions and Fixes
    ===========================
    
    Cisco CallManager
       
        Customers running version 3.3(x) should install Cisco's cumulative SQL 2000
        Hotfix, SQL2K-MS02-061.exe, from 
        http://www.cisco.com/tacpage/sw-center/telephony/crypto/voice-apps/.
       
    Cisco Unity
       
        Customers should install the Microsoft SQL 2000 Service Pack 2 (SP2) and
        Security Rollup 1 (SRP1) "Q323875_SQL2000_SP2_en.EXE". Both are available
        on the Microsoft website at the following location: 
        http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q316333&sd=tech
       
    Cisco Intelligent Contact Management
       
        Customers should install the Microsoft SQL 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3). It is
        available on the Microsoft website at the following location: 
        http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/2000/sp3.asp
       
    Cisco E-Mail Manager
       
        Customers should install the Microsoft SQL 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3). It is
        available on the Microsoft website at the following location: 
        http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/2000/sp3.asp
       
    Cisco Building Broadband Service Manager
       
        This section will be updated within 24 hours with more details on patch
        availability.
       
    Obtaining Fixed Software
    ========================
    
    Where Cisco provides the operating system bundled with the product, Cisco is
    offering free software upgrades to address these vulnerabilities for all
    affected customers. Customers may only install and expect support for the
    feature sets they have purchased.
    
    Customers with service contracts should contact their regular update channels
    to obtain any software release containing the feature sets they have purchased.
    For most customers with service contracts, this means that upgrades should be
    obtained through the Software Center on Cisco's Worldwide Web site at 
    http://www.cisco.com/tacpage/sw-center/.
    
    Customers whose Cisco products are provided or maintained through a prior or
    existing agreement with third-party support organizations such as Cisco
    Partners, authorized resellers, or service providers should contact that
    support organization for assistance with obtaining the free software upgrade
    (s).
    
    Customers who purchased directly from Cisco but who do not hold a Cisco service
    contract, and customers who purchase through third party vendors but are
    unsuccessful at obtaining fixed software through their point of sale, should
    obtain fixed software by contacting the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC)
    using the contact information listed below. In these cases, customers are
    entitled to obtain an upgrade to a later version of the same release or as
    indicated by the applicable row in the Software Versions and Fixes table (noted
    above).
    
    Cisco TAC contacts are as follows:
    
      * +1 800 553 2447 (toll free from within North America)
      * +1 408 526 7209 (toll call from anywhere in the world)
      * e-mail: tacat_private
    
    See http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml for additional
    TAC contact information, including special localized telephone numbers and
    instructions and e-mail addresses for use in various languages.
    
    Please have your product serial number available and give the URL of this
    notice as evidence of your entitlement to a free upgrade.
    
    Please do not contact either "psirtat_private" or "security-alertat_private"
    for software upgrades.
    
    Workarounds
    ===========
    
    Cisco has published a companion document at 
    http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sn-20030125-worm.shtml 
    which provides network based workarounds to mitigate the effects of these
    vulnerabilities. Cisco also recommends applying the software based fixes to
    affected devices to completely resolve the vulnerability.
