This patch was released in July of last year.

This cycle will continue to consume server and network resources until one of the servers stops sending packets for one of several reasons, including a restart of the SQL Server, a reboot of the server host, or a network failure.

Basically this exploit causes MS servers to ping each other back and forth, using up system resources on the servers. Once the attack is stopped the machine should be fine. This expoit is not supposed to wipe anything out, just bog it down to a standstill.
