Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the SmartHTML Interpreter (shtml.dll) when processing requests for certain web files. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted request.
FrontPage Server Extensions is installed by default on IIS 4.0, 5.0, and 5.1.
On FrontPage Server Extensions 2000, successful exploitation causes a DoS. However, on FrontPage Server Extension 2002, successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
