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 the 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 workarounds: 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 configured to block chunked encoding requests.
