02.43.2008 - MS08-006 - Important: Vulnerability in Internet Information Services Could Allow Remote Code Execution (942830)

Bulletin Severity Rating:Important - This important update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Internet Information Services (IIS). A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that IIS handles input to ASP Web pages. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could then perform actions on the IIS server with the same rights as the Worker Process Identity (WPI). The WPI is configured with Network Service account privileges by default. IIS servers with ASP pages whose application pools are configured with a WPI that uses an account with administrative privileges could be more seriously impacted than IIS servers whose application pool is configured with the default WPI settings. - View Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-006 - View Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 942830 - Visit Microsoft Corporation
