Subsequent to the release of this bulletin, it was determined that the vulnerability addressed is not with the OpenRowSet command (which is a Microsoft SQL Server command) but rather that the vulnerability is with the underlying MDAC component Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), which is present in all versions of Windows. Additionally, the original patch released with this did not install correctly on some systems because of a flaw in the way that Microsoft Windows Installer updated the System File Protection cache. The bulletin has been updated to include this additional information and to direct users to an updated patch.

Microsoft has published a few articles about the Blaster Worm

What You Should Know About the Blaster Worm
At 11:34 A.M. Pacific Time on August 11, Microsoft began investigating a worm reported by Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS). The worm commonly known as W32.Blaster.Worm and its variants exploit the vulnerability that was addressed by Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026. For the most up to date information on the Blaster Worm, please visit: http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.asp.

Virus notice: Microsoft never distributes software directly through email.
If you receive an e-mail that claims to contain software from Microsoft, do not run the attachment. The safest course of action is to delete the mail altogether. If you would like to take additional action, report the e-mail to the sender's Internet Service Provider. Most ISPs provide an "abuse" userid for this purpose.
