Microsoft IIS 3.0 Remote File Creation
Microsoft IIS 3.0 came with a sample program, newdsn.exe, installed by default in the directory wwwroot/scripts/tools/. Execution of this program with a properly submitted URL could allow for remote file creation. The file created is a Microsoft Access Database, but can have any extension, including .html.
Mitigation:
Disable the newdsn.exe program or remove it from the wwwroot/scripts/tools/ directory.
