Microsoft SQL Server 6.0 through 2000, with SQL Authentication enabled, uses weak password encryption (XOR), which allows remote attackers to sniff and decrypt the password.

Weakness

The product stores or transmits sensitive data using an encryption scheme that is theoretically sound, but is not strong enough for the level of protection required.
