Security-Fixes for SQL Server and why Security Best Practices Matter

This article analyzes the July 2015 SQL Server security bulletin (MS15-058), detailing three vulnerabilities that could allow remote code execution or privilege escalation. It explains which SQL Server versions are affected and argues that strict adherence to security best practices—such as minimal privilege assignment and avoiding db_owner for apps—significantly reduces exploit risk. The piece serves as a technical reminder for administrators to maintain robust patching policies.
