Description:
Microsoft has issued an update for Windows Media Services on Windows 2000 (Internet Information Services 5.0) due to a vulnerability allowing malicious people to gain system access.
The problem is that a buffer overflow exists in the logging facility "nsiislog.dll", which is part of Windows Media Services. It may be exploited by sending a malicious HTTP request.
Only Internet Information Services on Windows 2000 with Windows Media Services enabled is vulnerable (not enabled by default).
