The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the FTP server when processing NLST commands. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by issuing a specially crafted NLST command. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but requires a valid FTP user with write access. The vulnerability is confirmed as a DoS in IIS 5.1 for Windows XP SP3 and in IIS 6.0 for Windows Server 2003, and reported as code execution in IIS 5.0 for Windows 2000 SP4. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Restrict access to trusted users only.
