ISS 5.0 Exploit -- 11:33 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

A rather nasty buffer overflow vulnerability was found in Microsoft's Windows 2000 IIS 5.0. It could allow a cracker to run any code of his choice on the webserver. If you use IIS 5.0, read Microsoft's security bulletin and get patching! Thanks /.

The Master comments: Personally, I would NEVER run an unnecessary ISAPI extension on my server-heck, that's one of the best practices on Microsoft's security site. However, I find it rather ironic that M$ hasn't learned from all of these buffer-overflow exploits they've been dealing with over the last two years . . .
