CVE-2002-0650 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in Microsoft SQL Server 2000's keep-alive mechanism. Remote attackers can exploit this by sending a spoofed "ping" packet to the Resolution Service (UDP 1434), causing two SQL Server systems to enter an infinite packet exchange loop, leading to bandwidth exhaustion. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.0, indicating a medium severity. It is easily exploitable over the network with low attack complexity and no authentication required, resulting in a partial availability impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB) is available. The CVE has received minimal community discussion and media coverage, suggesting it is not a widely recognized or exploited threat.
