Adaptive Server connection errors after applying KB2161606

[Andrew Reis]

After applying update KB3161606 from Microsoft, we've begun seeing adaptive server connection errors using both mssql_connect and PDO DBLIB. I'm thinking it's related to "new features" in SQL 2012/2014 that the update began to enforce or that the update hardened. Reverting the MSFT patch makes the issue go away, but in examining the base for the freetds code, the highest level that's supported in Ubuntu is SQL Server 2005 (TDS Version 7.2). Are there any plans to recompile from later source to support 2008/2008 R2/2012/2014 ?
