VULHUB ™

Microsoft IIS reported prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability in the way IIS handles requests for several file types that require server side processing. This vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target machine. IIS supports a number of file extensions that require futher processing. When a request is made for one of these types of files a specific DLL processes it. A stack buffer overflow vulnerability exists in several of these DLL's while handling .HTR, .STM or .IDC extensions.
