Request for confirmation: This bug is fixed

Hello World,
One of our customers keeps getting the following error:
ODBC error code: -1
Net library error code: 2746x (10054)
SQLState: 01000
Description: ConnectionWrite(send())
I have looked up on the Microsoft web pages and have found:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q303120/
The description on this page states that this bug was fixed with SQL
Server 2000, service pack 2, so I asked the customer about the server
version number of his SQL Server 2000.
He has 8.00.818 (and lightweight pooling to default, which is off).
Accorind to the SQL Server 2000, service pack 3 description, an
installed SP3 has number 8.00.760.
Due to this circumstances I suppose our customer has a fixed version of
SQL Server 2000 and the problem is located somewhere else. Am I right?
Thanks for your help and best regards
Andreas

>|||Anthony,
Please stop confusing people by referring to build 817 (or 818 or 819
or MS03-031) as the "Slammer Worm build." This has nothing to do with
Slammer. As I've already pointed out, and as you can verify by reading
the security bulletins, MS03-031 addresses three post-Slammer
vulnerabilities. Like all Microsoft hotfixes, it is cumulative, but it
is definitely not the "Slammer Worm build," and it was released long
after the patch and service pack addressing the Slammer vulnerability
were released.

>My apologies to everyone. You, of course, are absolutely right. The Sapphire/Slammer Worm attacked Jan. 25, 2003, but the patches were available the prior summer but had not been applied by many. Obviously, MS03-031 was deployed until later 2003. Both deal with protocol hijacking and buffer overrun issues and, since we had been applying SP3, then shortly thereafter, SP3a, this seemed like the proactive release.
