This is from eEye's advisory which was posted on Bugtraq: Quote: Windows 2000 and NT4 IIS .ASP Remote Buffer Overflow Release Date: 00/00/2002 Severity: High (Remote code execution) IWAM_MACHINE Privilege Level Systems Affected: Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Internet Information Services 4.0 Microsoft Windows 2000 Internet Information Services 5.0 Description: A vulnerability in the ASP (Active Server Pages) ISAPI filter, loaded by default on all NT4 and Windows 2000 server systems (running IIS), can be exploited to remotely execute code of an attackers choice. The fault lies within the decoding and interpretation of form data received by malicious clients. By chunk encoding form data we can force IIS to overwrite 4 bytes of arbitrary memory with data we supply. This is a very serious vulnerability and eEye suggests that administrators install the Microsoft supplied patch as soon as possible. |
