Buffer Overflow in dvwssr.dll
The dvwssr.dll included with the FrontPage 98 extensions for IIS and shipped as part of the NT Option Pack has a remotely exploitable buffer overflow. This attack will result in the service no longer accepting connections and may allow for remote code execution on the vulnerable host. The exploit code sends a GET request with a string of 5000 'a's to the dvwssr.dll file.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to the latest version of the dvwssr.dll file.
