Description
A remote overflow exists in IIS Active Server Pages (ASP). IIS fails to allocate the proper size buffer resulting in a heap-based overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause either a DoS or execution of arbitrary code, resulting in a loss of confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability.

Solution
Install Patch Q319733, as it has been reported to fix this vulnerability. It is also possible to correct the flaw by implementing the following workaround(s):
1. Disable ASP - Version 1.0 of the IIS Lockdown Tool disables ASP by default, and version 2.1 disables ASP if "Static Web Server" is selected.
2. The URLScan tool can be used to prevent chunked encoding requests.
